PvE targets
Merge a Nuke Cities & Event Maps
Every city target with published health, when it was added, and which ones drop exclusive commanders. Updated July 2026.
City HP values are published only where patch notes stated them. Drop pools are described in general terms because the game does not publish per-city drop tables — clear a city in-game to see what it actually awards.
Quick answer
How city tiers work
Cities are the PvE side of Merge a Nuke. Instead of raiding another player, you attack a destructible map target with a health pool, and clearing it awards commanders from that city's own drop pool. They are the most reliable way to chase a specific commander, because unlike map spawns you can choose which city to hit.
Cities are grouped into tiers by health. Tier 1 targets like Town Square are approachable mid-game; Tier 3 targets like Alien Invasion need a deep arsenal. Health is the honest difficulty gauge — it tells you directly whether your current nukes can finish the job.

City details
Alien Invasion550,000 HP
The largest city in the game by a wide margin — more than three times the health of Town Square. This is endgame content: bring top-band nukes or bring friends.
Town Square150,000 HP
Added alongside the Contract Board with new destructible buildings. At 150,000 HP it is the clearest benchmark for whether your arsenal is ready for city content.
Harbor
One of the two event cities added in Commanders Pt. 2. Each drops two commanders you cannot get from the general map pool, which makes them worth targeting deliberately.
Oil Rig
The second Commanders Pt. 2 event city, also with two exclusive commanders in its pool.
Downtown
The original PvE city, added with the commanders launch as a higher-health target than anything that existed before it. Expanded again in Commanders Pt. 2.
Shipping Port
Joined the rotation in Commanders Pt. 2 alongside Downtown.
Military Compound
A limited-time map that ran roughly every 2 hours during the July window. Clearing it spawned Stalker. Check whether it is still in rotation before planning around it.
Clearing cities efficiently
Use health as your readiness check
If you cannot reliably clear Town Square's 150,000 HP, Alien Invasion's 550,000 is not a stretch goal — it is a different phase of the game. Build up rather than wasting nukes.
Cities beat packs for targeting a commander
Event cities drop from a small exclusive pool, whereas a Robux pack rolls from everything. If you want one specific unit, the city is the more direct route.
Farm cities during Disco
The Disco Admin Abuse event doubles commander spawn rate, which stacks with city farming to make it the best window of the week.
Watch your own base while you attack
Since July 18, held nukes take damage when your base is attacked and heal more slowly. Committing your whole arsenal to a long city fight leaves you exposed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are cities in Merge a Nuke?
Cities are destructible PvE targets with their own health pools. Instead of raiding another player, you attack the city, and clearing it awards commanders from that city's drop pool. They are the most reliable way to target a specific commander.
How much HP does Alien Invasion have in Merge a Nuke?
550,000 HP. It was added as a Tier 3 city in the July 25, 2026 patch, making it more than three times the health of Town Square.
How much HP does Town Square have in Merge a Nuke?
150,000 HP. It was added as a Tier 1 city on July 18, 2026 with new destructible buildings.
Which city should I attack in Merge a Nuke?
Use health as your guide. Town Square at 150,000 HP is the standard mid-game benchmark; Alien Invasion at 550,000 HP is endgame. If you are hunting a specific commander, target the event cities like Harbor and Oil Rig, which drop from small exclusive pools.
Which commanders drop from which city in Merge a Nuke?
The game does not publish per-city drop tables. Harbor and Oil Rig are each documented as dropping two exclusive commanders, and Military Compound spawned Stalker on clear, but the full mapping is not public. We will not invent one.
Is Military Compound still in Merge a Nuke?
It ran roughly every 2 hours during the July 4 LTM window. Limited-time maps rotate out, and the Silo LTM was removed on July 25, so check in-game before planning a Stalker farm around it.
