| Ingame Description: | A self-charging BFG9000! How much more lucky can you get? |
| Comments/special: | The Nuclear BFG's projectile will explode precisely on the tile you target, however any enemy or object blocking the trajectory it'll explode on instead. Additionally, you cannot target a tile that is outside your vision. Unlike other explosive weapons, the Nuclear BFG's explosion doesn't harm the player, it has no damage falloff (so any enemy or object within the explosion radius will suffer the full damage of the blast), and needs to deal 16 damage to inflict knockback per tile.
The Nuclear BFG 9000 automatically recharges 1 ammo every 0.5 seconds, with no delay after being shot. It cannot be manually reloaded nor unloaded. |
| Source: | The original BFG 9000 is, of course, from D. The nuclear version appears to be unique to DRL. Imbalanced BFG Family is a significant part of the D/Quake universe, even in canon. |
