Nuclear Missile

Learn how to unleash devastating nuclear strikes in Command & Conquer Remastered Collection. Target buildings, Tiberium, or silos for maximum impact.

The Nuclear Missile is one of the most powerful weapons in Command & Conquer, capable of wiping out entire bases or crippling enemy economies. It's a late-game superweapon that requires Tech 7 and Nod 13 to unlock.

Nuclear Strike Details:

• Reload Time: 20 minutes
• Weapon: Nuclear Warhead
• Unlock Level: Tech 7; Nod 13
• Note: Single-player nukes are two to three times more destructive than multiplayer nukes.

Targeting Strategies:

• Against Buildings: For maximum damage, target the base of the building where the ground meets the structure. This will vaporize most buildings instantly and significantly damage any structures nearby.
• Against Tiberium Deposits: If your opponent has only one Tiberium deposit near their base, nuking it can be devastating, potentially crippling their economy.
• Against Silos: If you see multiple full Tiberium silos, targeting them can result in a loss of $3000+ in resources for your opponent.
• Against Units: Buildings are more vulnerable than armored units. Units, being low to the ground, airtight, and heavily protected, are less affected by the radiation and heat effects of a nuclear blast.

Team Play Strategy:

• Coordinate with a teammate to launch a nuclear strike simultaneously at the same location. This combined strike can eliminate anything within a massive area.
