Steal An Army is an army-stealing Roblox simulator developed by NomNom +6, where players run on treadmills to build movement speed, infiltrate guarded bases to grab supply crates, and hatch them into defensive units. Constructing a powerful base roster requires balancing speed stats, securing high-tier crates without getting knocked away by guards, and deploying troops against wave encounters to earn cash.
How Army Building Works in Steal An Army
Army building revolves around a loop of gaining speed, stealing crates from guarded zones, returning them to your base, and unboxing units. Once a box finishes its opening timer, you open it to claim military personnel, vehicles, or robots, then deploy them into your barracks slots.
The deployed units defend your base against incoming zombie waves. Players can toggle combat manually or enable auto-fight. Defeating zombie waves awards in-game currency and offline earnings, which you reinvest into treadmill speed tiers, barracks expansions, and troop capacity upgrades. Unlike many Roblox simulator games, player testing confirms the game does not feature a rebirth multiplier mechanic, making raw box tiers and base upgrades the primary drivers of progress.
Crate Rarities and Opening Timers
Supply crates drop in designated zones protected by NPC guards and reset periodically across the server. Crate tiers are distinguished by their border colors and unboxing durations:
| Crate Tier / Color | Observed Unbox Time | Notable Unlocks & Features |
|---|---|---|
| Common (Blue) | Seconds to 1–3 minutes | Basic infantry and standard soldiers |
| Rare / Epic (Purple / Pink) | 3 to 30 minutes | Support vehicles, trucks, and advanced troops |
| Mythic (Red border) | 4 minutes to 1 hour | Drones, Mammoth tanks, helicopters, and jets |
| Secret (Glowing) | Up to 2 hours | High-tier robotic and cosmic units |
Opening crates can be done individually or all at once by clicking to open when ready, without mandatory Robux spending. Using the in-game "Equip Best" button automatically sorts your strongest combat units into available deployment slots. High-tier units provide massive earnings boosts; for example, players have observed top aircraft producing upwards of 370,000 cash per second.
Zone Progression and Guard Roster
Advancing to distant zones requires meeting specific speed thresholds to outrun territory guards. If a guard strikes you, your character gets flung back or eliminated, forcing you to restart your run.
- Zone 1 (Starting Outpost): Guarded by a rifle-wielding General. Yields common crates, basic soldiers, and Corporal units.
- Zone 2: Patrolled by Special Forces units. Requires basic speed upgrades to enter safely.
- Zone 3: Guarded by desert camo tanks. Drops epic vehicles and trucks.
- Zone 4 (Naval Base): Guarded by naval water vessels. Crates unbox into Diver units and aquatic equipment.
- Zone 5 (Air Force): Patrolled by combat helicopters. Yields aerial support units like attack helicopters.
- Experimental Lab: Guarded by prototype robotic units.
- Arctic Outpost: Guarded by Arctic combat robots. Unlocks cold-weather equipment and themed gear.
- Doomsday & Void Command: Guarded by high-level mechs and robots. These represent the furthest outer zones, requiring millions to billions in speed to retrieve end-game secret crates.
Base Upgrades and Speed Farming
Upgrading your base increases troop capacity, improves defensive structures, and unlocks faster treadmills. Early base upgrades cost modest amounts like 1,000 cash, scaling up to 1M cash for upgraded barricades, 120M cash for advanced jet treadmills, and 500M or more to unlock additional troop deployment slots.
Overcoming Guards and Carrying Crates
You can carry one crate at a time back to your base. If an elite crate spawns under a boss or heavy guard, players can coordinate by having one player draw the guard's aggro while the other extracts the box. Using a zigzag movement pattern also helps dodge straight-line attacks from chasing enemies.
Mini-Games During Hatching Downtime
While waiting for long box timers to expire, players can participate in three built-in mini-games to stay active:
- Tank Battle: Aim, pull back, and release projectiles to eliminate red target tanks.
- Army Runner: Navigate left and right through math gates; passing through green gates adds troops, while red gates subtract them.
- Target Practice: Fast-paced target shooting where you tap exclusively on red targets while ignoring green ones to train speed.
Official Game Passes
For players seeking faster progression, the game offers three permanent game passes on the official Roblox store:
- Lucky (199 Robux): Permanently improves your luck when finding and opening boxes.
- x2 Money (399 Robux): Permanently doubles the cash earned by your base.
- x2 Growth (467 Robux): Permanently doubles the speed at which your crates grow and unlock.
Joining the official NomNom +6 Roblox group also provides special in-game rewards and claimable speed bonuses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I steal more than one crate at a time?
No. Game testing shows players can only carry and extract one supply crate at a time back to their base.
What happens if a guard catches you?
Guards deal heavy damage or fling your character far across the map. If you are defeated, you drop the crate and respawn back at your base.
Is there a rebirth system in Steal An Army?
No. Player testing confirms that Steal An Army does not feature a traditional rebirth multiplier system. Progression relies entirely on treadmill speed tiers, zone unlocks, and unboxing stronger units.
