How to Get Units

Units in Toilet Collapsed Universe come from banners, badge quests, mode drops, and shop / gamepass paths. This guide focuses on the unlocks players search most: beginner banners, Camera Woman 3.0, and Glitch Toilet. Legacy TCU on Roblox is the live grind. TCU : RE-CODE is still upcoming with a partial wipe — badge partners such as Camera Woman 3.0-style restores are high priority, while Titan Trio will not return.

Pair this page with the unit tier list, titans tier list, and Getting Started economy basics.

Resources first

Every serious unlock plan starts with Resources:

  1. Redeem TheLastAct and TCU in Menu → Config (codes, how to redeem). RecodeIsSoon is unconfirmed — see expired codes.
  2. Clear Easy for 240 Resources and 2 Toilet Souls.
  3. Clear Medium for 500 Resources and 4 Toilet Souls.
  4. Run Boss Rush when you can survive 27–28 waves for about 600 Resources.
  5. Sell spare materials to Kleiner between queues.

Banners cost 120 Resources and refresh hourly. Track spending with the resource planner. Skip expired codes so you do not waste Config attempts.

Beginner banner priority

Pull these first:

  • Vigilance Ascendant (Refined)
  • Verdict of the Void (Genesis) — really recommended
  • Resonance of Ascension
  • Doomsday Covenant

Avoid early:

  • Standard Unveiling the Shadow
  • Echoes of Rebirth

Scientist-focused showcases (see the mid-article ULTRA Scientist TV video) help you recognize Screen line animations before you commit multi-hour banner sessions. TV / Scientist tools also matter for Glitch capture later.

How to get Camera Woman memory / Camera Woman 3.0

Camerawoman 3.0 is one of the best Hard Mode partners and sits in the badge-restore conversation for Recode. The live route players use:

  1. Progress until you can trigger the Plungerman special interaction tied to the Camera Woman memory quest.
  2. In the lobby, watch for the plunger at roughly 10% availability — keep rejoining or idling through lobby cycles until it appears.
  3. Click the plunger when it shows to start the sequence.
  4. Complete the Alpha Hills puzzle segment while playing as Camerawoman.
  5. Finish the quest chain to secure Camera Woman 3.0 as a usable partner.

Tips:

  • Use Private lobby time so random Event queues do not interrupt plunger checks.
  • Read puzzle prompts slowly; Alpha Hills fails usually come from rushing interactions, not from DPS.
  • Once unlocked, take Camerawoman 3.0 into Hard Mode with Astro Polycephaly or upgraded ETV.

Because Recode messaging expects Camera Woman 3.0-type partners to restore (unlike Titan Trio), this quest is better Recode prep than another vanity titan skin. Details on wipe rules live in Recode migration.

How to get Glitch Toilet

Glitch Toilet is not a simple kill quest.

  1. Farm Easy Mode wave 6 where the Mafia toilet can lead to a 1% Glitch Toilet chance.
  2. When Glitch appears, capture it with the Scientist Mech special — do not only kill it if you need quest credit.
  3. Capture progress feeds the Data Accelerator quest line.
  4. The Glitch Found badge path specifically calls for Scientist cam mech 1.0 special usage.

Practical grind setup:

  • Queue Private Easy for clean wave 6 repeats.
  • Bring a Scientist / cam mech capable loadout before you invest an hour of 1% rolls.
  • Type ?end after a failed wave 6 if you want a faster restart than finishing G-Man 1.0 every time.
  • Keep partner AI from accidentally finishing Glitch if your client needs the capture trigger to register — positioning matters.

Glitch farming pairs well with Easy Resource top-ups even when the 1% roll fails.

Other unit paths

  • Playables: Camera, Speaker, TV, Toilet, Survivor bases plus gamepass / multiverse purchases.
  • Astro Polycephaly: chase when you want a Hard Mode playable that Recode is expected to save — Astro Poly guide.
  • UTCM and titans: Protocol summons and upgrades — UTCM, Titan Trio. Fun on legacy; Trio will not restore.
  • G-Squad shop: gated behind brutal solo Denver / Invasion clears — see mode notes in How to Play.
  • Dedicated how-tos: Prometheus badge, X-18, Watchwoman of Doom, Villain Arc, gifts badge, Sandbox, Denver.
  • Weekend luck: 2x banner luck and Resource kill bonuses stretch codes farther if you can wait for weekends.

Spending order that does not regret Recode

  1. Codes and Easy / Medium clears.
  2. Verdict of the Void / Vigilance Ascendant pulls.
  3. Camera Woman 3.0 badge route.
  4. Glitch Toilet capture for Data Accelerator / Glitch Found.
  5. Astro Polycephaly mastery.
  6. Only then deep titan upgrade trees you understand are legacy-flex.

Do not empty a RecodeIsSoon pile (unconfirmed; see expired codes) into Titan Trio cosmetics if your goal is Recode inventory. Do spend them on banners and badge stamina that make Hard Mode and Denver realistic today.

Optional automation note

Some players use scripts such as auto farm after executor setup. Automation can grind Easy wave 6, but capture quests and plunger lobby checks still need attention. Account risk is yours.

Stay updated

Banner names rotate; confirm live pools on Trello (https://trello.com/b/C7KzUm04/tcu-official-trello) and Discord discord.gg/toiletcollapseduniverse. Patch notes land on the updates hub and Recode update page. When a new Genesis banner replaces Verdict of the Void, re-evaluate pulls against the unit tier list instead of copying outdated YouTube comments.

Return to the guides hub after each unlock so you know whether to push Hard Mode, Boss Rush, or Denver next. Units win matches; smart unlock order wins the month before Recode opens its new place.

Use the Plungerman special route, find the 10% lobby plunger, click it, then finish Alpha Hills puzzles as Camerawoman.
