Getting Started
What is Nuke Your City on Roblox?
Nuke Your City is a Roblox idle simulator by Nuclear Fun, launched March 16, 2026. Players grow explosives via a Dropper machine, load them into a rocket, and launch nukes at a city for cash — which is reinvested into upgrades to produce bigger and bigger explosions.
Is Nuke Your City free to play?
Yes. Nuke Your City is completely free to play on Roblox across PC, Mac, iOS, Android, and Xbox. No purchase is required to access any core game mechanic.
How do you launch a nuke in Nuke Your City?
Wait for your Explosive to fill to 100 EXP via the Dropper. Then interact with the Rocket to load your Explosive. Once loaded, press the Control button to fire the nuke and receive your cash reward.
What does the Control button do in Nuke Your City?
The Control button triggers the nuke launch once your Explosive is loaded into the Rocket. It is the final step of the gameplay loop before cash is awarded based on your EXP level.
Who made Nuke Your City?
Nuke Your City was developed by Nuclear Fun, a Roblox developer active on X (Twitter) as @jett_str. The game launched on March 16, 2026 and quickly became one of Roblox's fastest-growing simulators.
Codes
What is the working Nuke Your City code in May 2026?
The confirmed working code is BOOM (all caps). Redeem it via the ABX icon in the top-right of the screen in-game. It rewards 50–100 Playtime Points and 1 free Crate.
Where do I enter codes in Nuke Your City?
Click the ABX icon in the top-right corner of your screen while in the game, or scroll to the bottom of the Shop menu to find the code input box. Type the code and press Redeem.
Why is my Nuke Your City code not working?
The most common reasons are: the code has already been redeemed on your account (each code is one-time per account), the code is case-sensitive and must be entered in ALL CAPS, or the code has expired.
Where can I find new Nuke Your City codes?
New codes are announced first on the official Discord (discord.com/invite/A2mQCuFTbz), then on the developer's X account @jett_str, then on NukeYourCity.Wiki. Follow Discord announcements for the fastest code alerts.
What do Playtime Points do in Nuke Your City?
Playtime Points accumulate over time and through codes like BOOM. They contribute to advancing your Research tree — unlocking permanent Research Upgrades that carry over across all Rebirths forever.
Gameplay Mechanics
How do you get research points in Nuke Your City Roblox?
Research Points are earned primarily through the Rebirth mechanic — resetting your run at a progression milestone awards Research Points based on how far you got. Playtime Points (earned passively and via codes) also contribute to Research tree advancement.
What is Rebirth in Nuke Your City?
Rebirth is the game's prestige mechanic. You reset your Machines and cash in exchange for Research Points, which unlock permanent Research Upgrades. These upgrades make all future runs progressively faster. It's the core long-term progression system.
When should I Rebirth for the first time?
Rebirth when your Research Point gain would let you return to your current progress point in under 50% of the original time. For most players, this occurs after 2–4 hours of active play on the first run.
Does Nuke Your City have offline progress?
Yes. Your Dropper continues filling your Explosive with EXP even when you're completely logged out. This is server-side and requires no app activity. Offline progress is one of the game's core mechanics — listed explicitly in the official game description.
What is the best first upgrade to buy in Nuke Your City?
Dropper Level 2, then 3, 4, and 5 — buying all five levels before any Machine purchase. The Dropper is the foundation of all EXP generation and has the best ROI in early game.
What is the difference between Machines and Droppers?
The Dropper generates raw EXP over time. Machines are passive multipliers that increase the value of your EXP or your explosion cash output. Think Dropper = engine speed, Machines = turbocharger multipliers.
Do Machines reset when I Rebirth?
Yes. All Machines and Dropper levels reset to zero on Rebirth. Only Research Upgrades (unlocked with Research Points) and redeemed codes persist across Rebirths permanently.
Advanced Strategy
What is the fastest way to level up in Nuke Your City?
Max Dropper to level 5 → buy Blast Amplifier → buy Offline Collector → continue Dropper to level 10 → Rebirth at the correct timing threshold → unlock Passive EXP Boost and Offline Efficiency Research immediately. This sequence minimizes time-to-max-nuke.
What Research Upgrades should I buy first?
Passive EXP Boost Rank 1 immediately after your first Rebirth, then Offline Efficiency Rank 1. These two compound across every single future run and provide the largest total long-term speed increase in the game.
Is it better to launch frequently or wait for higher EXP?
Always wait for higher EXP. EXP scaling is exponential — a launch at 200 EXP produces vastly more cash than two launches at 100 EXP. More cash per launch = faster upgrade purchases = faster progression.
What is the best Machine for offline players?
The Offline Collector Machine (A-Tier) is the best investment for idle players. It multiplies your offline EXP generation rate by approximately 3x from the moment you purchase it. Pair with Offline Efficiency Research after your first Rebirth for 6x total offline rate.
Safety & Scripts
Is there a safe Nuke Your City script?
No third-party script is safe. All scripts require a Roblox executor, which violates the Roblox Terms of Service and is detected by the Byfron/Hyperion anti-cheat. The consequence is a permanent account ban. The game's built-in offline mechanics already replicate every feature these scripts claim to offer.
Can I get banned for using a Nuke Your City autofarm?
Yes. Using an external executor to run any script — including autofarming scripts — violates Roblox ToS and triggers Byfron anti-cheat detection, resulting in a permanent account ban.
Nuke Sizes & Leaderboard
What does nuke top 5 look like in Nuke Your City?
Top 5 players on a server have launched the highest EXP nukes. At that level, the explosion covers virtually the entire city map with a towering mushroom cloud effect. Players typically need 3–5 Rebirths and all S/A-tier Machines to reach this tier.
What is a '3 nuke' in Nuke Your City?
Community shorthand for a nuke launched at approximately 3x the base EXP threshold. These informal numbers (2 nuke, 3 nuke, 5 nuke, 8 nuke) represent relative power milestones based on observed visual explosion differences at certain EXP levels.
Is there a max nuke in Nuke Your City?
Max nuke power depends on your Machine upgrades and Research tier. With fully upgraded Machines and multiple Rebirths, players reach the highest explosion scale. The ceiling scales with your progression — there is no fixed hard cap.
