Content update with new mission is live!

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello Commandos!

Big content update just dropped on John Carpenter's Toxic Commando! The sludge threat has spread deep into the city and requires you to once again go commando. A new mission enters the game: Urban Blight will take you in the heart of a mutated city.

New map doesn't come without new toys! Weapons, vehicles, skins, we've got it all covered. Be prepared to go underground activity and don't forget to watch the sky for the new Hornet ennemy!

We're also introducing challenges, QoL changes and much more. See the patch notes below.

Patch 2.0 notes

New mission: Urban Blight

Leon dispatches commandos to investigate a sludge leak spilling from the contaminated zone. 

The trail leads to the ruins of Rockbridge, where Hopewell’s experiments have mutated the sludge into something far more dangerous. The commandos must breach the city and confront new dangers in an urban environment with highly intricate layouts. You will descend into fetid sewers, fight through hordes of enemies, and storm abandoned apartments floor by floor. To succeed, you'll need to discover powerful weapons, vehicles, and gear scattered throughout the mission.

New ennemy: the Hornet

An airborne enemy that fires projectiles, the Hornet can dodge incoming attacks. When it closes in on a target, it grabs a player, flies high into the sky, and drops the victim from that deadly height. The other players must kill the Hornet before it lifts the victim too high, or the fall will be fatal.

* Added for all missions.

New Weapons

Primary Weapons:

  • Salvo MGL: Burst‑fire grenade launcher firing projectiles with a delayed fuse.
  • Heartstopper Carabine LAC: Modern lever‑action rifle.
  • Precision BAR Gen 1: Bolt-action sniper rifle.

Secondary Weapon:

  • Thundershot OEP: Experimental energy pistol. Can fire powerful charged energy shots, but consumes all ammunition in the magazine.

Heavy Weapon:

  • Obsidian OEP: Experimental beam weapon based on the enemy Blaster.

Melee Weapon:

  • Sludgebane: Sludge‑infected melee weapon: applies a sludge contamination effect to the wielder. When sludge levels reach maximum, the weapon deals bonus damage to foes.

New Vehicles

  • Thrasher APC: An Armored Personnel Carrier that releases a volley of fire and destroys zombies within a player-selected radius. Be careful, it also can damage teammates.

* Added for all missions.

  • Forklift: A vehicle designed for cargo delivery objectives in certain mission zones. While it’s moving, it must be protected by teammates.

*Only in Urban Blight mission

Changed since the PTS

  • Reworded the objective and improved clarity for the first quest, specifically regarding the bonus equipment container.
