Nuclear Bomb

The Nuclear Bomb is a rare and powerful superweapon that first appears in Worms: The Director's Cut.

Nuclear Bomb (Worms: The Director's Cut and Worms 2)
In Worms: The Director's Cut, the Nuclear Bomb is detonated off-screen while the French national anthem ("La Marseillaise") plays. When used, it raises the water level by precisely 30 pixels and will drown any Worms who stood on low ground. This is changed to precisely 120 pixels from Worms 2 onward. The water level will stay like this for the rest of the round.

Indian Nuclear Test
In Worms Armageddon and Worms World Party, it was renamed the Indian Nuclear Test, and would poison every Worm on the landscape in addition to raising the water level.

Nuclear Bomb (Worms 3D)
The Nuclear Bomb in Worms 3D is similar but it doesn't poison the Worm using the Nuke. However, the enemy Worms, and the other Worms on the user's team are poisoned. When used, the nuclear explosion can be seen in a distance. It is unlocked by getting Gold in all Deathmatch Challenges.

Nuclear Strike
The Nuclear Strike is a God Power in Worms Forts: Under Siege. It poisons only the opposing Worms and does not raise the water level. It is unlocked by achieving Gold in Campaign Mission 15. Worms Forts: Under Siege was the last Worms game in the series to feature the Nuke.

In all Worms games that feature the Nuke, you must simply press the Fire Button to activate the Nuke.

Trivia

 * In Worms: The Director's Cut, the French national anthem is sampled from The Beatles' "All You Need is Love".
 * France's last nuclear test was on January 26th, 1996. India's last nuclear test was on May 13th, 1998.
 * The Worm using the Nuke can be seen wearing blast-resistant goggles before the explosion. In the second generation games, this Worm is poisoned anyway. The goggles do nothing (except for protecting the Worm's eyes from the extremely bright flash the nuclear explosion creates).
 * Worms 3D and Worms Forts: Under Siege are the only two games that show the Nuke's explosion on-screen.
 * This weapon's poisonous tendencies are likely based on the ionising radiation that real nuclear weapons emit, which can cause radiation poisoning.
