Learn how to clone infantry, including Tanya, using the Soviet Cloning Vats in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2.

The Cloning Vats is a Soviet structure in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 that enables the replication or cloning of infantry units.

A key strategy for Soviet commanders involves building a Yuri unit (a unit capable of mind control) and using it to mind-control an enemy infantryman. Once mind-controlled, send this infantryman to your Cloning Vats. This process allows you to clone that infantryman, effectively gaining units like GIs or other cloned infantry. This is a superb method to replace less effective units, such as Conscripts, with superior GIs.

This building also allows for the replication of special units. For instance, you can clone Tanya, a powerful commando unit, allowing you to have two of her in your forces.

Tips
  • Utilize Yuri's mind-control ability to capture enemy infantry and then clone them at your Cloning Vats.
  • Prioritize cloning high-tier infantry like GIs to gain a significant advantage.
  • Consider cloning Tanya to double your commando strength.
