Now that Advance Wars 1+2: Reboot Camp has finally released, fans are diving into Nintendo’s latest remake and rediscovering what made the series such a “must play” in the early 2000’s. One of the best mechanics that made Advance Wars stand out from its competition was the CO system.
COs, or Commanding Officers, are a big part of the fun in Advance Wars. Your choice in CO will fundamentally change how your entire army performs and each one brings powerful CO abilities that can change the ebb and flow of combat. With 19 COs to choose from, there are plenty of options to find a CO that fits how you want to navigate the battlefield.To help you keep track of which COs you still need to unlock, here’s a quick guide to help you find out where to unlock each CO.
How To Unlock All COs
If you’re a veteran of the series, you can breathe a sigh of relief. COs are no longer tied to in-game performance, mission difficulty, or choosing specific COs against others. Instead, additional COs are unlocked by defeating them in specific campaign missions. Once they’ve been defeated, you can then purchase them from Hachi’s store. Here’s a quick run down of how to unlock COs in each game.
