Learn how to defeat the dangerous Assault Commander in Duke Nukem 3D using the Shrink Ray or other powerful weapons.

Assault Commanders are large, floating enemies that attack with rockets and melee spins. They have 350 health and drop no items.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The most effective way to defeat an Assault Commander is by using the Shrink Ray.
  2. 2
    If you do not have the Shrink Ray, engage at medium range with the RPG or Devastator.
  3. 3
    Alternatively, find cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) and fight at short range with the shotgun or chaingun.
Tips
  • The Shrink Ray significantly weakens Assault Commanders.
  • If the Shrink Ray is unavailable, use the RPG (requires 3 shots) or Devastator for medium-range combat.
  • For close-quarters combat without the Shrink Ray, utilize cover and switch to the shotgun or chaingun.
  • Be aware of their rocket projectiles and spinning melee attack.
