How to Get an Admiral Commander in Merge a Nuke

It is the game's top commander rarity — the final chip in the in-game ladder after Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary — introduced with Commanders Pt. 2 on June 28, 2026. Exactly three commanders carry it: Drone, Apache and Carrier, and the commander Index shows those three Admiral cells and no more. All three are marked reported in our roster, meaning the rarity comes from patch coverage and player video rather than an in-game card read.

Two routes exist in our data. Drone is the 0.5% roll inside the Advanced Warfare pack, the only commander pack with published odds. Apache and Carrier come from map spawns, and during Admin Abuse the hosting player announces them in public chat before they appear on plots. You claim a spawned commander by destroying it. The general acquisition routes — map spawns, event cities, the Contract Board, Mystery Supply Drops and Robux packs — are covered on the commanders guide page.

On the numbers we can attribute, yes. Our roster records Apache's map-spawn rate as cut from about 0.2% to roughly 0.05% in the July 4, 2026 update, which makes it one of the rarest free units in the game. Carrier's rate is not published at all, and Drone's is the fixed 0.5% pack roll. All three stay reported figures, not in-game reads, and Friday patches rebalance drop rates.

Ability text is Pending for Drone, Apache and Carrier. No Admiral card has been captured on camera in any footage we can attribute, so we publish no multiplier, cooldown or passive for the tier. The highest card readable in our source video is Legendary — Raider's Raid and Sergeant's Hold The Line. We will update the roster page the moment an Admiral card is actually read.

We do not publish Robux prices for commander packs — they move with promotions and discounts, so the in-game shop is the only source of truth. What the shop screen does print is per-roll odds, including the 0.5% LIMITED slot that holds the Drone. Per-pull guarantees and pity timers are Not published for any commander pack, so do not plan a budget around an expected number of rolls.

Only as player-reported observation. Kream Blox states on camera that Admiral commanders are the rarest thing in the game, that there are only three of them, and that he spent a lot of Robux chasing one without success; after a full session of hopping servers he concludes he did not find any Admirals. Ethansheah makes the same rarity statement in a separate video. Neither is a developer confirmation.

On the left rail under Store, which is where it sat before the July 25, 2026 patch. That update removed the standalone Commanders button — commanders now live inside Inventory, alongside Explosion Effects. The rarity ladder, the Index and the pack odds screen all still show the same information, so the screenshots remain readable; only the entry point moved.
