Nuke (Nuclear Weapon)

A nuke is a special type of rocket that explodes into a huge blast when a player gets hit by it. The radius of the nuke is large, meaning nearby players may get affected. Opponents may also receive damage if one gets too close, although most of the time it does not.

Like normal rockets, they can be air-blasted and juggled. However, due to its big size, getting hit by it is fairly easy. It's speed increases twice as fast as a normal rocket, and, when playing in smaller maps, the nuke is capable of clearing the whole team.

Do note that nukes do not give you points for the nearby explosion kills it makes. You are given points to the opponent who gets hit by it and not the nearby players.

Shape
In different servers, the shape of the nuke can vary.
 * 1) A Payload Cart Bomb, without the cart. This is the normal nuke used in the TFDB or most servers.
 * 2) A Cake (or KEK), originally used for the picture of the health-pack during TF2's Anniversary.
 * 3) An Error Sign denotes that your computer have forgotten to download one of the files to show the image, or it simply means the server downloaded something wrong.

Blast Radius
Usually players who are about 2-3 metres away will get hit, damage varies on distance. One direct hit results in an instant death, followed by instant death to players who are about <1 metre from it.

Often times, the blast radius have little knockback. However, players who jumps and stands close to it will be sent flying by the explosion. If unlucky, the player will land on the ground and receive fall damage, inevitably receiving an instant death.
