How to Get Commando
Commando is purchasable via a 799 Robux gamepass. It was originally unlocked by triumphing Area 51, but that method has since been removed, leaving the gamepass as the only current path.
Is Commando Worth It?
For players willing to spend Robux, Commando is one of the stronger DPS towers in this batch, reaching close to 200-230 combined DPS at max level with detection for Flying, and indirect coverage for Hidden and Lead through its missiles.

Best Loadouts With Commando
Its long range makes it a good backline anchor; pairing it with a dedicated Hidden detector rounds out its detection gaps, since its own Hidden/Lead coverage only comes indirectly through splash.
