Nuke (Zombies)


 * For the killstreak in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, see Tactical Nuke.

The Nuke, of Nazi Zombies, is a power-up that can be picked up and gives the player who picks it up another grenade in Dead Ops Arcade. It kills every zombie currently in the map when a player gets it. The icon is a nuclear bomb. When picked up, the screen will flash white and blind the player for about one second. In every map except &quot;Nacht Der Untoten", the demonic announcer will say "Kaboom", as the zombies are killed by the Nuke. Also, each player (that is not downed) will be given 400 points once it has killed all the remaining zombies. Players value this power-up since it gives them time to do things before more zombies come. Try to get it as soon as possible. There is an achievement called Weapons of Minor Destruction (only on Shi No Numa) that is given to a player or players in the same Nazi Zombies game when they use the Nuke only to kill the last Zombie of the round.

In Dead Ops Arcade, the nuke is used as grenade, and falls from the sky resulting in death of every zombie on the arena.

Trivia

 * The nuke does not instantly kill all of the zombies. The effect seems to radiate outward. Zombies closer to the power up will die first.
 * Zombies can drop power ups when they die from a nuke.
 * The 400 point bonus given by the nuke is not affected by the Double Points power-up in World at War, but affected in Black Ops.
 * In Black Ops, if you get the nuke, zombies will chase you but they will not attack. Instead, they will shake their heads as if the game is over or all of the players teleported somewhere the zombies can't reach them.
 * In the iPod Touch/iPhone version, the power-up is the "Atomical Bomb."
 * If anyone is downed when the Nuke's points are awarded, then the downed player(s) will not receive the point bonus. The same goes with the Carpenter Power-Up.
 * Unlike the other power-ups, the Nuke's appearance changes on Kino der Toten. The Nuke in Nacht der Untoten, for example, has a lighter green glow and is skinnier than the Nuke in Kino der Toten.
 * As compared to all other power-ups in Zombies, the nuke isn't voiced by 'The Demonic Announcer.' Instead, the "kaboom" voice is a man that doesn't sound as distorted. What this means is unknown. It is possible that Ludwig Maxis says this instead of Samantha.
 * On Nacht Der Untoten,if you have no ammo it is 3 times more likely to get the nuke.
