Moebius Corps have tapped into their stockpile of nuclear warheads and are shipping them across Tarsonis. The remainder are reserved for your destruction. With cargo this volatile, every stray bullet presents an incredible risk. Don’t be surprised if your forces flinch at the first sign of combat.
Going Nuclear - Nukes are launched at random throughout the map.
Self Destruction - Enemy units explode and deal damage to friendly player units upon death.
Fear - Player units will occasionally stop attacking and run around in fear upon taking damage.

Notes:
- The warning spot for nukes is the large targeting area. However, you only have 5 Blizzard seconds of warning before the nuke hits.
- There is no indication on the minimap, nor is there a “Nuclear Launch Detected” sound, so babysitting your units is advisable.
- Most of the bases are safe from the nuclear strikes. However, the edges of the minerals, ramps, some geysers, and cliffs can still be hit by the AOE.
- The nuclear strikes begin at the very start of the map. They seem to be placed randomly, but there are only about 1 or 2 nuclear strikes at a time, even on Brutal.
- The fear effect lasts for 10 Blizzard seconds, which is enough to get hit by a nuke.
- Static defenses do not get affected by Fear, but they do get 1-shot by nukes. Also, it seems that Karax cannot build enough cannons on the “safe zones” to eliminate the trains. You need other things.
- Dark Pylon/Fenix/Mothership Recall, Gryffin Airlift, Omega Worms, Unity Barrier, and Guardian Shell are SO USEFUL vs nukes and self destruction.
