New Enemies

The Baroness – Master of espionage and deception, the Baroness is always one step ahead. With her deadly intelligence and loyalty to Cobra, she will manipulate every situation to her advantage.
Destro – The arms dealer with a sharp mind and high-tech innovations, Destro is just as dangerous as he is opportunistic. Armed with cutting-edge weaponry and a ruthless ambition, Destro is a force you’ll need all your wits to survive.
The Crimson Guard – These elite soldiers are handpicked for their discipline and combat prowess. Trained to execute missions with precision, they are an unrelenting threat on the battlefield.
Iron Grenadiers – Destro’s specially trained shock troops, experts in sabotage and chaos, they destabilize regions to expand Destro’s reach, making them a serious threat to G.I. Joe.

New Heroes Join the Fight

Gung-Ho – A fearless marine and true warrior, Gung-Ho charges into battle with unwavering energy. He inspires his allies and can overcome even the toughest challenges with sheer determination.
Rock ‘n Roll – The heavy-hitting powerhouse, Rock ‘n Roll is a machine gun expert with a laid-back attitude. His unrelenting firepower and infectious leadership make him a formidable ally.

New Mechanics & Challenges

This expansion introduces High-Tech Tokens and Evil Plan Tokens (EPTs), bringing new strategic elements to the battlefield. High-Tech Tokens enhance Destro’s advanced weaponry, while Evil Plan Tokens represent the Baroness’s devious sabotage tactics, forcing players to react quickly.

Additionally, Weakened Tokens will reduce combat effectiveness and increase incoming damage, adding a new layer of challenge as you fight to counter Cobra’s deadliest plans.

This expansion adds five brand-new missions to the campaign, each packed with intense battles and tough decisions. As with all G.I. Joe campaigns, these missions can be played as a standalone series or integrated into the main campaign. Play through them and use your existing campaign progress to unlock new upgrades and abilities.

Prepare for Action!

With new characters, weapons, and mechanics, Cobra’s Finest offers a thrilling addition to the G.I. Joe universe. Gear up, plan your strategy, and face the full wrath of Cobra. Are you ready to stop the evil plans of Cobra’s most dangerous operatives?

Enter the Ninjas

In this thrilling new expansion, Enter the Ninjas, the G.I. Joe team ventures into the shadowy world of the Arashikage clan, confronting a dangerous web of intrigue and deadly precision. With iconic antagonist characters Storm Shadow and the Red Ninjas in intense missions, this expansion immerses players in the ultimate ninja showdown.

The G.I. Joe team gains two new warriors: Jinx, a fearless and agile ninja whose sharp skills make her an invaluable asset, and Quick Kick, a martial arts master known for his unmatched agility and devastating close-combat attacks. Their expertise in stealth and combat will be critical as they face Cobra’s deadliest ninja, Storm Shadow, and his elite Red Ninjas—masters of ambush and sabotage who will push even the most seasoned players to their limits.

Storm Shadow: Cobra’s Deadliest Ninja

Once a brother-in-arms to Snake Eyes and a loyal member of the Arashikage clan, Storm Shadow has since chosen a different path—one that has led him deep into the ranks of Cobra. A master of stealth, deception, and unparalleled swordsmanship, Storm Shadow is not just an opponent; he is a relentless force of precision and speed. His combat skills allow him to strike from the shadows and disappear before his enemies can react, leaving devastation in his wake.

Storm Shadow commands the Red Ninjas, an elite force of assassins trained to strike without warning. Together, they embody the deadliest aspects of Cobra’s arsenal—ambush tactics, misdirection, and ruthless efficiency. Whether confronting him in open combat or navigating his carefully laid traps, Storm Shadow’s presence will turn every battle into a brutal test of survival. Those who underestimate him quickly learn that facing Storm Shadow is not just a fight—it’s a lesson in inevitability.

Three Deadly Missions

Enter the Ninjas introduces three medium-to-high difficulty missions, which can be played as standalone skirmishes or seamlessly integrated into the Core Box campaign. These missions provide strategic depth, rewarding tactical planning and adaptive gameplay. Whether you tackle them mid-campaign or as a dramatic finale, the stakes have never been higher.

New Mechanics: Poison and Focus Tokens

This expansion adds two innovative mechanics that deepen gameplay:

Poison Tokens: Representing slow but lethal threats, these tokens weaken and injure affected characters, challenging players to find ways to mitigate the damage.
Focus Tokens: Granting heightened concentration, these tokens enable characters to execute precise actions, from additional attacks to enhanced skill checks.

These mechanics create dynamic opportunities for both offense and defense, adding new layers of strategy to every encounter.

Iconic Missions and Rewards

Players will traverse treacherous mountain paths, engage in an honorable duel between Quick Kick and Storm Shadow, and infiltrate a luxurious Manhattan penthouse to uncover the truth behind a sinister plot. Each mission delivers unique challenges and opportunities for the G.I. Joe team to grow stronger, with rewards that carry over into the main campaign. The decisions you make and the victories you earn will shape the course of the ongoing battle against Cobra.

New Character Sheets: For Jinx, Quick Kick, Storm Shadow & the Red Ninjas, each offering unique abilities that reflect their mastery of stealth and combat.

Dreadnoks: Chaos & Mayhem

Get ready for chaos as the Dreadnoks bring their savage brand of destruction to the battlefield in this thrilling new expansion! “Chaos & Mayhem” introduces two of Cobra’s most unpredictable and dangerous mercenaries—Buzzer and Ripper—along with Cobra’s ruthless Range Vipers. On the G.I. Joe side, Beach-Head brings his expertise as a trainer, preparing the team for any battle, while Outback’s unmatched survival skills will help the team navigate the harshest environments. Together, these heroes face off against Cobra’s most dangerous forces in three high-stakes missions.

New Heroes Join the Fight
Beach-Head – A no-nonsense leader and expert in combat tactics, Beach-Head serves as the G.I. Joe team’s trainer, always ready to push his allies to their limits and prepare them for any challenge.
Outback – A true survivalist, Outback thrives in the most extreme environments. His ability to adapt and endure in harsh conditions makes him an essential ally on missions that require resilience and grit.

New Villains: The Dreadnoks
Buzzer – Buzzer thrives on destruction, armed with his intimidating chainsaw that can tear through steel and metal with ease. A former sociologist turned anarchist, he uses his weapon of chaos to destroy anything that stands in his way. With his hatred for modern society, Buzzer is a force of pure mayhem on the battlefield.

Ripper – Hailing from the wilds of Tasmania, Ripper is a brutal force, wielding his “Power Jaws”—massive mechanical jaws with incredible destructive power. A born criminal, Ripper uses his fearsome weapon to crush anything in his path. His ruthless nature and love for violence make him a deadly adversary, as he dismantles enemies and obstacles with terrifying precision.

Cobra’s New Minions: The Range Vipers
The Range Vipers are Cobra’s elite survivalists, living off the land and thriving in the harshest conditions. They’re tough, resourceful, and just as chaotic as the Dreadnoks, making them a deadly addition to Cobra’s forces.

Three High-Stakes Missions
In “Chaos & Mayhem,” you’ll face off against these mercenaries in three intense missions. Test your tactical skills and teamwork as you battle through unpredictable environments and dangerous foes.

New Mechanics: Weakened & Frightened Tokens
This expansion introduces two new debilitating mechanics:

Weakened Tokens: Characters with these tokens suffer reduced combat effectiveness and increased vulnerability to damage.
Frightened Tokens: Characters affected by Frightened Tokens struggle to act decisively, becoming easier targets for Cobra’s forces.

New Scenarios

Cobra’s Revenge

It’s time for the tables to turn! In Cobra’s Revenge, the most infamous villains of the G.I. Joe universe take center stage, allowing players to experience the battlefield from Cobra’s perspective. With new game modes, new characters, and a full campaign where Cobra leads the fight, this expansion offers an entirely fresh way to play.

Take Control of Cobra

For the first time, players can step into the boots of Cobra Commander, Destro, Zartan, the Baroness, Storm Shadow, and many more! This expansion provides special Cobra Character Sheets for every major villain from the Core Box and previous expansions, giving them unique abilities that allow them to command the battlefield in new ways.

Cobra’s forces aren’t just causing chaos—they’re waging a full-scale war. A brand-new Cobra campaign book lets players experience a full narrative-driven series of missions where Cobra fights to crush the G.I. Joe team once and for all.

To fully equip Cobra’s greatest operatives, this expansion includes an entirely new set of gear cards tailored specifically for playable Cobra characters. Some villains even have access to minions they can recruit to bolster their ranks, ensuring that Cobra’s forces are deadlier than ever.

A New G.I. Joe Automa System

With Cobra taking the lead, who will stand against them? The G.I. Joe team now operates using an advanced automated enemy system, bringing new layers of challenge and unpredictability. The Joes act and react dynamically, forcing players to strategize against an AI-controlled resistance.

G.I. Joe Antagonist Sheets – Just like Cobra’s enemy system in the base game, G.I. Joe heroes now have their own behavior sheets, dictating how they fight back.
Activation Decks – New G.I. Joe activation decks ensure the AI-controlled heroes are always making tactical choices.
New G.I. Joe Troopers – Two new enemy unit types, the G.I. Joe Operatives and G.I. Joe Enforcers, bring a relentless opposition to Cobra’s campaign.
G.I. Joe Equipment Deck – The Joes don’t fight empty-handed! This expansion includes a dedicated set of gear cards for AI-controlled G.I. Joe heroes, making them even more dangerous on the battlefield.

New Cobra Leaders: Tomax, Xamot & Serpentor

This expansion also introduces three powerful new Cobra operatives:

Tomax & Xamot – Though they appear identical, these twin masterminds are more than capable of operating independently, each posing a serious threat to the G.I. Joe team. However, when fighting together, their disruptive tactics and near-telepathic coordination make them exponentially more dangerous, striking with precision and speed that few can counter.
Serpentor – Created to be the ultimate leader, Serpentor is a genetically engineered warrior with the knowledge of history’s greatest conquerors. His presence on the battlefield is overwhelming, not just because of his raw power but because his abilities inspire fanatical loyalty in his followers. With Serpentor at the helm, Cobra’s forces fight with unmatched fervor, willing to lay down everything for his cause.

New Skirmish Mode

Beyond the Cobra campaign, this expansion also introduces a brand-new Skirmish Mode, where two or more players go head-to-head in tactical battles with no automated units. Choose your side—G.I. Joe or Cobra—and face off in direct combat to prove which faction reigns supreme.

Bonus Missions: Serpentor’s Reign

As if that weren’t enough, this expansion also includes two high-level missions designed for the standard campaign mode, where players control G.I. Joe and face an AI-controlled Cobra. These scenarios introduce Serpentor as a powerful final opponent, allowing players to challenge his might in an unforgettable showdown. These missions can be played as standalone challenges or as a climactic finale after completing the Core Box campaign.

With Cobra’s Revenge, the battle takes a whole new turn. Will you command Cobra to victory, or will the Joes manage to strike back? The choice is yours!

Legions of Cobra

Get ready for a new wave of Cobra forces with the “Legions of Cobra” expansion! This set introduces new Cobra Troopers, each with their own unique skills and tactics, bringing fresh tactical depth and more variety to your battles. With brand-new miniatures and new Trooper types, this expansion enhances the game’s replayability by allowing you to swap out standard Cobra units for these elite squads in any scenario.

Snow Serpents

The Snow Serpents are an elite sub-branch of Cobra’s Eels, specially trained for cold-weather combat. These warriors endure one of the most grueling training programs in Cobra, completing a six-month course in freezing, Arctic conditions. Beyond their basic Eel training, they’re experts in airborne operations, anti-tank procedures, and survival in the harshest environments. Armed with specialized gear, including snowshoes, skis, and anti-tank weapons, Snow Serpents are a force to be reckoned with, even in the most extreme conditions. If you thought the Eels were tough, the Snow Serpents take it to the next level—parachuting onto ice floes and marching miles through sub-zero temperatures to accomplish their mission.

Tele-Vipers

Tele-Vipers are Cobra’s highly specialized radio and communications operators. These Troopers are equipped with advanced radio packs capable of handling multiple communication modes, including VHF transceivers, microwave beams, and lasers. Their helmets feature high-resolution earphones, overload dampers, and voice-activated microphones, making them the perfect operatives for coordinating Cobra’s forces under the most demanding conditions. Their role is critical on the battlefield, ensuring Cobra’s units stay in constant communication and disrupting enemy transmissions whenever possible.

Cobra Troopers (Advanced Version)

The Cobra Troopers are the backbone of Cobra’s military machine—endless, faceless soldiers who follow orders without question. However, this new version of the Cobra Trooper introduces a more aggressive and fanatical combat style, reflecting the growing fanaticism and sheer determination of Cobra’s foot soldiers. With enhanced combat training and a fiercer approach to battle, these advanced Troopers bring an even greater challenge to G.I. Joe.

Endless Variety & Replayability

“Legions of Cobra” allows players to introduce these new Troopers in place of the standard Cobra units in any mission, providing endless strategic options and adding even more variety to the game. Whether you’re adding the cold-blooded Snow Serpents to your roster or deploying the communication-savvy Tele-Vipers, these new troops bring exciting new dynamics to the battlefield.

New Miniatures

Of course, this expansion wouldn’t be complete without stunning new miniatures for each of the new Cobra Troopers. These detailed models bring the unique personalities and combat styles of these units to life, giving players new tactical opportunities and adding even more visual appeal to your collection.

Deep Waters

Cobra’s latest threat emerges from the depths, striking where the G.I. Joe team least expects it—beneath the waves. The oceans hold untapped power and hidden secrets, and Cobra is determined to claim them.

Intelligence agencies worldwide have reported unusual amphibious activity, signaling a dangerous new front in the battle against Cobra. But this time, the enemy isn’t just venomous snakes—it’s highly trained, heavily armed Eels, masters of underwater combat, ready to dominate the seas.

This expansion introduces a range of amphibious scenarios, deep-water environments, and new mechanics that redefine combat beneath the surface. Prepare for battles where the tides can shift in an instant, and survival depends on mastering the depths.

Villains

Copperhead leads Cobra’s amphibious assault, bringing his ruthless skills and mastery of underwater combat to the battlefield. Once a high-speed racer in the world of illegal jet ski circuits, he now commands Cobra’s aquatic forces, ensuring their dominance beneath the waves. Copperhead thrives in deep water—his skills and abilities make him deadlier in submerged environments, where his specialized weapons function at full capacity while G.I. Joe’s gear struggles against the elements. His combat style is as insidious as the reptile he’s named after, dragging his enemies into the depths where they are most vulnerable.

–

Backing him are Cobra’s elite underwater operatives—the Eels. On land, they match the skill of standard Vipers, but in water, they become a far greater threat. Armed for submerged combat, they gain enhanced mobility, extra defense, and superior positioning, making any fight in their element a deadly challenge. Their tactics revolve around luring G.I. Joe into deep-water battles, where the odds shift dangerously in Cobra’s favor.

Copperhead’s Loadout is thematically tailored for underwater warfare. He wields a high-powered harpoon gun, perfect for piercing through armor even in submerged conditions. His arsenal also includes depth charges, designed to disrupt enemy movements and flush out Joes trying to take cover. To top it off, he carries a serrated dive knife, ideal for close-quarters combat when the fight gets too personal beneath the waves.

G.I. Joe

Hawk: At first glance, Hawk’s stats might not seem impressive—9 Vitality and 3 Heroic Effort, both healthy and wounded—but that’s because his true power lies in his soldiers. As a general, he transforms an already formidable team into the most effective military force of the century. His abilities enhance his allies in every way, granting extra movement, additional actions, focused firepower, and, of course, Inspiration tokens. When wounded, his skills shift, prioritizing the survival of his team above all else.

His weapons suit his role as a commanding officer—pistols with varying levels of technology, skills that boost his stats, and even the ability to extend time-sensitive missions by several rounds. And if you’re worried that such a vital asset might be too risky to deploy in battle, fear not. The G.I. Joe team knows how to protect their leader. Hawk has the lowest Aggro value in the game (7), meaning Cobra’s Automa will always prioritize other targets when given a choice. Play smart, keep your general covered, and nothing will stop him from leading the Joes to victory.

Lady Jaye: She is a nightmare for Cobra. Her deep knowledge of the organization allows her to use her VS Advantage to read Cobra’s CACs and modify them, preventing Cobra from executing devastating turns that could change the tide of battle. Her professionalism and precision are reflected in her Covert Strike, which allows her to re-roll any dice of a roll if she has cover. Her most powerful leadership skill, Field Intelligence, lets her recover not only her own Heroic Effort but also that of her teammates. After all, she’s always got everything planned and under control.

If the situation ever goes awry, Lady Jaye has a plan B. In her Wounded state, she gains a single skill—Desperate Measures—which triggers a wide-area explosive device capable of devastating the battlefield. Just make sure to avoid any allies caught in the blast radius.

As for her primary weapon, Lady Jaye’s iconic explosive javelin is a true bread-and-butter tool. She wields it with unparalleled mastery, using it to clear paths, disrupt Cobra forces, and deliver high-impact damage when the situation demands it.

–

Storm Shadow: He is the embodiment of lethal efficiency, a relentless assassin with unmatched mobility and a mastery of destruction. His role as a DPS assassin is defined by his exceptional speed and precision, making him a constant threat on the battlefield. His VS Advantage activates whether the VST result is COBRA or G.I. Joe, providing him with an extra attack or movement action depending on the result—reflecting his unwavering effectiveness regardless of the side he fights for. This unique perspective makes him a constant and devastating presence.

Storm Shadow doesn’t possess Nimble, but his SHADOW STEP ability transcends ordinary movement rules, allowing him to traverse even impassable terrain with acrobatic style. This agility makes him a blur on the battlefield, evading enemies and setting up deadly strikes from hidden positions. He also thrives on eliminating enemies quickly, gaining bonus actions with the first kill of a turn, chaining destruction in his wake. His approach to combat is less about fancy details and more about overwhelming efficiency, ensuring that the battlefield is cleared of enemies before they even realize what’s happening.

Though Storm Shadow boasts incredible offensive capabilities, his vitality is somewhat limited (only 11) and 3 Heroic Effort. However, his defensive skills make him difficult to take down. When wounded, his defense becomes uncanny, almost supernatural in nature. This unique skillset ensures that he is always dangerous.

His Signature Equipment includes his classic twin katanas and two types of bows: a traditional one and a high-tech version, blending his ancient Arashikage martial arts with cutting-edge G.I. Joe technology. While Cobra once relied on him as a deadly asset for their evil empire, they now regret manipulating someone as dangerous as Storm Shadow. With his unparalleled, devastating DPS style, and uncanny defense and mobility, he is a force that no opponent can easily overcome, leaving destruction in his wake as he seeks revenge on those who wronged him.

Deep Waters Missions

The missions in Deep Waters are designed to introduce a new type of environment for the G.I. Joe team, focusing on amphibious and underwater combat as an added challenge. This set of missions is intended for high-level characters and is meant to be integrated into the campaign starting from mission 8 onward, or even after completing the campaign. They are tailored for a team of experienced G.I. Joes with advanced gear, ensuring a challenging experience for seasoned players.

The missions are framed by a narrative where G.I. Joe is working to dismantle Cobra’s creation of a formidable underwater army, aiming to control the seas, coastlines, and key global trade routes. Along the way, Cobra’s forces are also creating mutant hybrid soldiers. With this thematic backdrop, players will face challenges that place their G.I. Joes in unfamiliar and hostile terrain, pitted against specialized enemies. This is not a challenge for the faint of heart.
