Nuclear ICBM Event

Create intense end-of-wipe battles with a fully featured nuclear strike event. Players fight for an ICBM Launch Key from a hackable crate, deliver it to the Missile Silo, and launch devastating nuclear missiles at enemy bases or monuments. Heavily inspired by TheBurntPeanut's Wasteland Twitch event!

What It Does

A hackable crate spawns at configurable monuments containing the ICBM Launch Key. Players must hack the crate, retrieve the key, and transport it to the Nuclear Missile Silo while being tracked on the map. Optional patrol helicopter defends the crate area. At the silo, players insert the key into a custom laptop terminal, select target coordinates or monument codes (OR for Oil Rig, LOR for Large Oil Rig), and initiate the launch sequence with configurable countdown timers.

The ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) launches from the Missile Silo Monument as an air raid siren warns all players of the impending strike. Upon impact, a nuclear detonation creates a massive blast zone that destroys buildings and kills players, followed by persistent radiation zones that deal damage over time. Global radiation pulses affect all online players, while trees, resources, and NPCs are wiped out in the surrounding area. Safe Zone protection remains active to prevent griefing in designated safe areas.

The built in Rust Wipe Timer Integration automatically activates the event during specified hours before wipe, perfect for end-of-wipe chaos and base destruction.

Very Important Disclaimer about Additional Requirements!
(PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING!)

• A Custom Map is REQUIRED - As of 4/30/2026, the Twitch nuke effect only gets loaded into Rust on custom maps that have at least one custom prefab added. You can easily do this to procedural maps by editing them in RustEdit and adding any custom prefab monument even if its something as simple as a hot dog stand. This will trigger Rust to load AssetScene-Props when joining which has the nuke effect. Hopefully this is fixed later by the Rust developers but for now this is the only way to see the effect consistently!

• Missile Silo Monument is REQUIRED - This monument is needed for the event plugin to work properly. In the future, I will be adding my own custom monument you can place on your custom maps.
