Description
The War Machine is currently a tower exclusive to anyone who is a moderator or higher in the Tower Defense Simulator Discord server, though on rare occasions it has been given to other people.
The War Machine is planned to become available to more people, where it will be given to users who have contributed to the game through the workshop portal, following a review by a lead developer.[1]
The War Machine uses an exoskeleton with two miniguns. At Level 2, the exoskeleton also has a missile launcher, allowing it to fire Stark Missiles. At Level 2, it also gains the ability to apply various buffs to towers in its range through its Command Aura.
The War Machine has a placement limit of 5 per player.

Strategy
- The War Machine can be a powerful DPS tower mid to late game, dealing over 450 DPS.
- At Level 2, the War Machine gains a missile launcher, which is upgraded to a quad missile launcher at Level 4, which is quite decent against hordes of enemies, such as the Fallen Hazmat.
- Because the missile launcher deals splash damage, the War Machine can also damage Lead enemies with it, making it very useful against the Lead and Elite Leads early on.
- At Level 5, the War Machine gets all three detections at once, making it a very versatile tower by the mid to late game combined with its high DPS and splash capabilities.
- However, because of how expensive it is to upgrade to Level 5, it should not be solely relied upon to attack enemies with these attributes.
Trivia
- The War Machine's appearance and some of its mechanics appear to have been based on an Exoskeleton tower suggestion from the Tower Defense Simulator Discord server.
- However, the name of the War Machine and its Level 2 upgrade are references to the War Machine from Marvel.
- The War Machine's original description was a reference to Risk of Rain 2, specifically the Commando's old ending phrase.
- The War Machine had the most expensive upgrade cost in the game, until Gatling Gun was added.
- After the Overhaul Update, the War Machine gained 12 damage on Level 2, giving it 13 damage, thus giving it an absurd 104 DPS for just Error creating thumbnail: File missing$2,900.
- This was only fixed in late May.

Notes
- ↑ https://trello.com/c/yFpL6Z12/3-%F0%9F%8E%81-reward-war-machine-tower
- ↑ Number is the damage dealt in the inner explosion sphere. Splash damage is decreased linearly from the edge of the inner explosion sphere to the edge of the outer explosion sphere, if the enemy is in the outer explosion sphere.
- ↑ Total DPS is calculated as Normal DPS + Missile DPS.
Missile DPS assumes only one enemy is hit with all missiles and it receives full splash damage. - ↑ 30 Normal DPS + 4 Missile DPS
- ↑ 80 Normal DPS + 4 Missile DPS
- ↑ 150 Normal DPS + 32 Missile DPS
- ↑ 400 Normal DPS + 80 Missile DPS
