How to get Diplomat
Complete Contract Board Daily, Weekly, and Monthly contracts for Unique Commander progress, then claim Diplomat after finishing every available contract on the board (Unique slot rotates every 14 days).
Step-by-step: how to get Diplomat
- Open the Contract Board in-game (July 18, 2026 patch). It has 5 Daily slots, 5 Weekly slots, and 2 Monthly slots — each refreshes on its own timer.
- Clear contracts as they refresh. Official launch Daily set: Nuisance, Doomsday, Backstabber, Military Money Moves, I'm The Captain Now.
- Weekly set: Damage Do-er, Peacekeeper, Triple Threat, Credit Stealer, Leader.
- Monthly rotation (3 contracts into 2 slots): Ultimate Arsenal, Damage Do-er-er, Nuclear Threat.
- Rewards from contracts: cash, temporary boosts, permanent stat boosts, and Unique Commander progress.
- The Unique Commander contract rotates every 14 days and only becomes claimable after all available contracts are completed — Diplomat is the first Contract Board-exclusive Unique Commander.
- Diplomat is not a normal map-boat capture and is not listed as an Advanced Warfare Pack unit; treat Contract Board as the primary path.

- Added July 18, 2026. Role tag on this wiki is provisional until the in-game card is verified. Roblox event listings labeled the window “CONTRACTS!” (about July 18–25/26, 2026 PT) as quests that unlock new commanders, with Saturday Admin Abuse called out in the same blurb.
Other ways to get commanders
Diplomat's primary path is above. These fallback methods apply to the wider commander pool and may not drop Contract Board exclusives.
Defeat a spawned commander on the map
Commanders arrive by boat and appear on the shared map as enemy units with an HP bar. Attack them with your nukes — whoever lands the final hit captures the commander.
Buy one in the Shop / Inventory
As of July 25, 2026 the Commanders button was replaced with Inventory. Open Inventory / Shop and check commander or pack sections. Commanders can be purchased with in-game cash or Robux, and Explosion Effects also live under Inventory.
Earn free at level milestones
Starter and some custom commanders are granted for free when you reach certain in-game levels or upgrade ranks.
Spawn during event maps
Harbor, Oil Rig, Downtown, Shipping Port, Military Compound, Military Base, and Town Square rotate as event or spawn targets. Beat the event or roll the drop pool — Military Compound runs every ~2 hours and drops Stalker (Legendary) when cleared. Town Square is a Tier 1 map with 150,000 HP.
Roll the Galactic Commander Pack
Added July 25, 2026. Opens six new commanders: Abductor, Leviathan, Wormhole Engineer, Recycler, Hologram Shaper, and Smuggler. Exact drop rates were not published in the patch notes.
Roll the Advanced Warfare Commander Pack
Open the Shop and buy the Advanced Warfare Commander Pack (added July 13, 2026). Reported drop rates: Grifter 35%, Scout 30%, Sapper 20%, Medic 10%, Recon 4.5%, Drone 0.5%.
Complete Contract Board contracts
The Contract Board (July 18, 2026) has 5 Daily, 5 Weekly, and 2 Monthly slots. Completing contracts grants cash, temporary boosts, permanent stat boosts, and progress toward a Unique Commander that rotates every 14 days.
Destroy Mystery Supply Drops
Mystery Supply Drops have a 50% chance to spawn every 3 minutes. Destroy one to roll a random commander from all available pools in the game.
See the raid guide for event map timers, war mechanics, and Mystery Supply Drop tips.
