Alliance Tower Defense Roblox Large Scientist Camera Man Guide
Camera Scientist Crew - the heavier early pressure unit from the September 2026 Update 2.
Large Scientist Camera Man is the second of three units in the Camera Scientist Crew that arrived with Update 2 in early September 2026. Community documentation names Scientist Camera Man, Large Scientist Camera Man, and Engineer Camera Man as the trio. This page covers Large Scientist Camera Man. The Tier List Hub links to the other two.
If you are still learning the Easy City loop, finish the Easy City walkthrough before investing coins in new units. The documented beginner method still clears 1-player Easy City with an ordinary Cameraman. New units are altar candidates after you have a coin reserve and understand place-then-max.
Camera Scientist Crew context
Update 2 (early September 2026) introduced the Camera Scientist Crew as a themed unit trio:
- Scientist Camera Man - early DPS role
- Large Scientist Camera Man - heavier early pressure
- Engineer Camera Man - utility or support positioning
This wiki will not invent stats, damage numbers, or upgrade costs. Live gameplay and the in-game update log are the primary sources.
How to get Large Scientist Camera Man
Coins from matches, then the lobby altar. No verified promo code grants this unit. The Codes Hub lists active strings such as BIG (555 coins). x2 LUCK! may affect roll quality but does not spawn units on command. Luck pass.
How to play it
- City test first. Place it as the sole spender in 1-player Easy City.
- If it holds, it can become the primary carry or a second pad.
- Max one body before adding second copies.
- Auto Skip waits until upgrades are paid.
Where it fits in the tier list
Large Scientist Camera Man occupies the heavier early pressure slot, similar to how Large Scientist functions as a strong early DPS option. The tier list framework asks: can it be maxed this match? Does it hold a funnel? Does footage call out a job?
Rank it after a City test, not from a showcase thumbnail. If it performs well, it can sit alongside or above Large Scientist in the rankings depending on your testing results.
Comparison with Large Scientist
Large Scientist Camera Man enters a tier list where Large Scientist already holds the early DPS snapshot. The naming is similar but these are separate units. Large Scientist has a documented showcase claim of overpowered early DPS. Large Scientist Camera Man has Update 2 documentation.
Test both on Easy City to compare. The question is not which name sounds stronger, but which body you can max this match. If you own both and can only max one, max the one that holds the funnel better.
What it is not
- Not a day-one requirement. Cameraman still teaches the funnel.
- Not a copy of Large Scientist Cameraman from other tower defense games. Different universe.
- Not a guaranteed drop from any code or pass.
- Not a reason to empty the altar before testing.
After you pull one
- Equip it in the lobby team panel.
- Re-clear City to test funnel behavior.
- Update Team Builds if it holds.
- Recheck the Tier List after you play.
What to do if you cannot decide between units
If Large Scientist and Large Scientist Camera Man both landed in your inventory, test them separately on Easy City. The one that holds the funnel better gets the max slot. The other waits until you can afford to max both, or until a future pull clarifies the roster needs.
First hour if you arrived only for the new unit name: Getting Started. Full ladder: Walkthrough.
