Been mostly mining for the past few years. Couple of months ago, I noticed that I seem to have been sitting at level 68 laser pistol (hit) for the longest time. (Yes, obviously I don't pay attention to my skills/professions. My mining setup works, so any mining skill gains don't matter to me.)
Well obviously, I now had to focus on the final 2 levels to unlock Commando.
Except, as I've mentioned here before, hunting doesn't do well for me. Like, ever. (80-93% returns are pretty common for me for some reason)
And, even after...
The skill gains were.... Horrible. 0.02 levels gained per 1k peds spent, usually losing ~150-200 ped/run.
And did I mention, ped, burning? So not only do I skill slow, but I kill my ped card quickly.
Thus, I had to mine for a few weeks, use the profits to hunt until I was back to mining money. Rinse Repeat.
But.. Finally... I got it during Halloween Mayhem.
Turns out, I could have unlocked this LONG ago had I noticed. But oh well. Now, back to not losing as much ped.

- Buying Headshot 4,
- Buying Bullseye 7
- Finding mobs w/ good hp/level ratios
- Banking codex rewards until the end (so their increases won't slow my regular skill gains even more)
- Using some stored skill pills
- etc. etc.
