They were NOT available when 1.0.85 went live - which was probably when folks spent 1000+ keys. But it should be easy for folks to pull them if they are wiling to spend some gold now. Plus, new common troops keep coming as new kingdoms unlock! So plenty of time to hunt for commons ahead. ---

Indeed it is now possible to get it but it still dont count as a unit in zhul’kari. I have 8 units now with the spider swarm i just got in this kingdom but it still say 350 pts for troop unlocked in zhul’kari. ---

It is most certainly possible to pick up Spider Swarm as a troop on consoles, at least on PS4. I’ve picked up two in just the last 2-3 days. ---

They started to show up in chests about an hour after this post: > [@TaliaParks](#): > > I would say though @Mr.Strange, it’s very odd I haven’t gotten it yet. Maybe it “slipped out” of chests like some other Troops “slip in”? 😉 [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/is-it-possible-to-acquire-spider-swarm-as-a-troop/5932.md?page=1)
