How to Unlock All Missiles in Build and Conquer (Roblox Strategy Guide)

Mastering Your Arsenal in Build and Conquer

In Build and Conquer on Roblox, developed by The Slop Company, your path to dominance relies on two pillars: a robust economy and a devastating missile arsenal. Whether you are aiming for the initial Short-Range Ballistic Missiles (SRBM) or the massive damage potential of the Cluster missile, the progression system requires patience and tactical planning.

Many players find themselves stuck, not because they lack the skill, but because they are targeting the wrong objectives or struggling to maintain their industrial infrastructure. This guide breaks down the specific requirements to unlock every missile in the game and provides actionable tips to optimize your setup.

The Nuclear Power Plant: Requirements and Strategy

Before you can focus entirely on your missile program, you need the infrastructure to support it. The Nuclear Power Plant is a critical asset, but it is not handed to you. According to community reports, unlocking this facility is a two-step process that demands both population growth and combat endurance.

How to Secure the Nuclear Power Plant

1. Reach City Level 4: You must grow your city population to Level 4. While exact figures fluctuate with updates, this typically requires between 10,000 and 20,000 citizens. Focus on residential and commercial development to hit this milestone efficiently.
2. Deploy Troops: Once your city is sufficiently large, prepare your military forces. You will need to deploy troops to the plant location.
3. Capture and Hold: Move your troops to the Nuclear Power Plant point. You must maintain control of this point for 60 continuous minutes.
4. Defend Your Position: While your server might be "chill," be aware that other players will likely attack if they see your troops sitting idle. Keep an eye on the perimeter and be ready to reinforce your position.

How to Unlock All Missiles

Missile progression in Build and Conquer is based on "hits." You accumulate these hits by damaging or destroying enemy ground units and buildings. Because enemy anti-air (AA) systems have been buffed in recent updates, choosing your targets wisely is the difference between a quick unlock and a frustrating grind.

SRBM (Short-Range Ballistic Missile)

Requires 5 hits on ground units or buildings. This is your entry-level missile and the easiest to obtain.

GLCM (Ground-Launched Cruise Missile)

Requires 12 hits on ground units or buildings. Unlock this immediately after the SRBM.

MRBM (Medium-Range Ballistic Missile)

Requires 25 hits. The difficulty curve begins to rise here, but it remains manageable with consistent play.

Hypersonic Missile

Requires 100 hits. At this stage, avoid targeting buildings with heavy anti-air defenses. Stick to ground units.

Cluster Missile

Requires 1,500 hits. This is the ultimate grind. You must destroy a high volume of enemy buildings or units to unlock this weapon.

Tactical Tips for Rapid Unlocking

The most efficient way to climb the missile ranks is to prioritize ground units over buildings. Buildings are often protected by anti-missile and anti-air systems, which can waste your resources and time. Drones are an excellent tool for this, though they can be slow.

If you find yourself struggling to get hits, consider communicating with others in your server. Many players are willing to engage in a "trade," where you take turns spawning single units for the other player to hit. This cooperative approach is much faster than hunting for targets in a hostile, high-defense environment.

Economic Optimization: The Key to Maintenance

Your missiles are useless if you cannot afford to launch them. Each missile requires steel, fuel, and money to deploy. Recent updates have balanced the economy, so managing your industrial output is more important than ever.

If you notice your missile production stalling, check your steel supply chain. A common issue reported by players involves trucks failing to deliver steel to the factory. If you see your storage full of steel but your factory idle, verify that your trucks are active and pathing correctly.

Tip

Utilize the "Upgrade All" Feature: The game has introduced a quality-of-life update that allows you to upgrade all buildings at once. If you are struggling to keep up with maintenance costs or production demands, look for the "Upgrade All" option when clicking on a building to streamline your infrastructure management.

Recent Updates and Balancing

Staying competitive means adapting to the game's evolving meta. The developers have recently implemented several changes that impact how you should approach combat:

• Launch Delays: There is now a 7.1-second delay between each missile launch. Plan your attacks accordingly, as you cannot spam missiles as quickly as before.
• Anti-Air Buffs: Anti-air systems across the board have been buffed. This makes the "Hypersonic" and "Cluster" unlock requirements significantly harder if you are only targeting well-defended buildings.
• Mine Limits: The mine limit has been increased from 10 to 12. If you are playing defensively, ensure you are utilizing these extra mines to protect your territory.

FAQ

Why is my steel not being used for missiles?

The most common cause is a distribution bug where trucks fail to deliver steel to the factory. Ensure your trucks are not bugged or stuck. Also, check that you have sufficient fuel and money, as missiles require all three resources to deploy.

Is it better to target buildings or units for the Cluster missile?

Definitely units. Since the recent buffs to anti-air systems, targeting buildings is much riskier and more expensive. Ground units are generally easier to hit and require less investment to destroy.

What should I do if I keep getting attacked while capturing the Nuclear Power Plant?

If the server is too aggressive, try to coordinate with a friend or ask for a "peaceful capture" in the game chat. If that fails, try to capture the point during off-peak hours when fewer players are active.

Does the "Upgrade All" feature cost more?

The "Upgrade All" feature is simply a convenience tool to help you manage your city faster. It does not change the cost of upgrades, but it does help you scale your economy more efficiently to afford the maintenance costs of advanced missiles.
