Release & Overview
Noob Army Tycoon is a Roblox military strategy tycoon developed by Denetroll under Thinking Project. First released on April 24, 2021, it has surpassed 400 million visits and remains one of the deepest army-building experiences on the platform.
You build a base with over 1,000 unlockable buttons, research troops from WW1 through futuristic eras, and deploy armies across land, air, and sea to capture strategic points. With 268+ troops, six unit categories, alliances, quests, and multiple server types, the game rewards both economy management and battlefield tactics.
The June 2026 update added mechs, 50 new noobs, 47 vehicles, troop quests, building skins, missions, duels, casual servers, and a reworked Army Tier scaling system that uses server-average tier instead of a single highest-tier player.

Controls
Noob Army Tycoon uses intuitive PC and mobile controls. Mastering troop splitting and target types separates average players from strong strategists.
PC Controls
- — WASD or Arrow Keys — Move camera / navigate map
- — E — Interact with buildings, buttons, and UI elements
- — Mouse — Select units, click capture points, confirm actions
- — Click + Drag — Highlight troops to split (like selecting text)
- — Change Army menu — Swap troops, set formations, edit target types
Mobile Controls
- — Virtual joystick — Pan the camera
- — Tap — Select units and interact
- — Tap + Drag — Split troops using the split tool or drag selection
- — Menu button — Access army, codes, settings, and server options
Advanced Tactics
- — Split Troops — Send part of your army to multiple capture points simultaneously
- — Target Types — Per-unit targeting (Weak, Strong, Near, Injured, Most Threatening, Random)
- — Drag on a unit to change its target type mid-battle (resets when unit dies)
- — Alliance chat — Coordinate captures and defense with teammates
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Near | Targets the nearest enemy |
| Weak | Focuses lowest-HP enemies; good for fast-firing units |
| Strong | Focuses highest-tier enemies; good for snipers |
| Injured | Targets lowest HP percentage; finish-off priority |
| Most Threatening | Targets highest DPS enemy |
| Random | Unit-dependent random selection; good for splash weapons |
Tier List
There is no official static tier list — meta shifts with every update and depends on your opponents. The table below ranks troops by Army Tier and current community consensus for PvP and PvE.
Always adapt your army to the enemy. A perfect tier list on paper loses to proper counters and target-type setup.
| Name | Category | Tier | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soldier / Gunner | Noobs | T1 | Early game | Tutorial default; upgrade to Soldiers ASAP |
| Rocketeer | Noobs | T3 | Mid game DPS | Best ranged noob damage before endgame |
| Combat Medic | Noobs | T3 | Support | Keep 2–3 for sustain |
| Repairman | Noobs | T4 | Support | Only one allowed; heals vehicles |
| Heavy Minigunner | Noobs | T5 | Burst DPS | Short range; pair with shields/medics |
| Death Soldier | Noobs | T6 | Late infantry | Dominates ground before HDS |
| Heavy Death Soldier | Noobs | T7 | Endgame infantry | Peak ground unit; countered by HSFS |
| Fire Noob | Super Noobs | T5 | Super DPS | Highest super noob damage |
| Heavy Super Fire Soldier | Super Noobs | T7 | Counter | Hard-counters Heavy Death Soldiers |
| VRLAA | Vehicles | T4 | Anti-air | Essential vs air-heavy armies |
| Stealth Bomber | Air Vehicles | T4 | Air superiority | Top air pick in current meta |
| Heavy Guided-Missile Destroyer | Ships | T6 | Naval | Strong ship for boat points |
| Mechs | Vehicles | T5 | Versatile | Recent addition; strong mid-high ground |
Counters
| Unit | Counter | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy Death Soldier | Heavy Super Fire Soldier (HSFS) | HSFS outranges and melts HDS groups |
| Stealth Bomber | VRLAA / anti-air vehicles | Protect ground forces from air wipes |
| Heavy Railgun Tank | Anti-tank missiles / laser destroyers | High-tier vehicles need dedicated counters |
| Air-heavy army | VRLAA + mixed ground | Never leave ground without anti-air |
Army Tier System
Every troop has an Army Tier from 1 to 7. Your army tier equals your highest-tier unit. Higher tiers unlock stronger units but also scale enemy Red Noob difficulty on public servers.
Since 2025, Red Noob scaling uses the average army tier of all players in the server (rounded up), not just the single highest player. Tier Bonus still gives extra HP to lower-tier armies fighting higher-tier opponents.
Beginner and Casual servers cap available tiers, making them ideal for new players. Pro servers have no restrictions — expect full endgame meta.
- +Stay on Beginner/Casual servers until Army Tier 5+
- +Avoid bringing Tier 7 units to low-tier public servers — you make the match harder for everyone
- +Check server type before joining: Classic, Missions, Duels, Casual, Pro, or Trade
Items & Currency
Money
Primary currency from Workers, capture points, and combat. Used for spawners, buildings, and many troops. Scales with capture point multipliers.
Research Points (RP)
Generated by Researchers at the Research Center. Required to unlock new troops in the tech tree. Super Researchers produce 10 RP/s base (120 max upgraded).
Gems
Premium currency from Gem Mines (2.5/s max), quests (up to 15,000), daily challenges, missions, duels, and codes. Used for crates, pets, hats, and conversions.
Skill Points
Earned from codes and quests. Spent on permanent stat upgrades for your account.
Spin Tickets
Used on the wheel for random rewards. Several codes grant tickets alongside gems and currency.
Map & Capture Points
The battlefield features ground capture points (A through E), a central point, boat/water points, and each player's base statue. Holding points generates Money and RP — multipliers vary by gamemode.
Control more points than opponents to maximize income. The center point is always the most contested. In Red Noobs Invasion, mini enemy bases spawn behind points A and E.
Center Point
Standard x2 income; x2.5 in Red Noobs Invasion; x10 in King of the Hill
Ground A–E
Perimeter capture points; essential for steady income in Classic
Boat Points
Water capture zones requiring ships; disabled on Casual servers
Base Statue
Your HQ — if destroyed in certain modes, you lose

FAQ
Why is my code not working?
Complete the tutorial first. Codes are case-sensitive and may include spaces. Expired codes return errors — try a fresh active code from our list.
What is the best army in Noob Army Tycoon?
There is no universal best army. Meta depends on gamemode, server tier, and enemy composition. Heavy Death Soldiers dominate ground until HSFS counters appear; Stealth Bombers rule air.
Which server should beginners use?
Beginner or Casual servers cap unit tiers and limit advanced mechanics. Stay until your army reaches Tier 5 comfortably.
How do I grind Money and RP fast?
Use a private server, vote Red Noobs Invasion, and hold the center point (x2.5 multiplier). Max Workers and Researchers before buying expensive troops.
Is there an official Trello?
No. The developer does not maintain a public Trello. Rely on Discord, this wiki, and the Fandom wiki for troop stats.
How does Army Tier affect Red Noobs?
Red Noob strength scales with the average army tier in your server. High-tier players raise difficulty for everyone — use Casual servers to avoid this.
Are private servers free?
Yes. Noob Army Tycoon offers free private servers where you can pick gamemodes, practice, and grind safely.
What are the newest codes?
As of June 2026: Mechs, funny read 3, 4000000, and 3Years are among the newest high-value codes. Check the Codes section above for the full active list.
