Other ways to get commanders
Mimic'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.
