What is Merge a Nuke?
Merge a Nuke is a Roblox merge-and-raid idle game by Nuke The Game. The loop has three parts: you merge two identical bombs into one nuke a tier higher, your arsenal earns cash every second even while you are offline, and you can launch nukes at other players to steal their cash. Defence is a single button — locking your base — and forgetting it is the most common way new players lose progress.
It is playable on Desktop, Mobile, Tablet and Console, servers hold up to 8 players, and new content ships every Friday.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
- 1
Learn the merge grid
Place identical bombs or nukes together and merge them into a higher tier. Higher tiers earn more cash per second.
Every merge doubles value — unmerged duplicates waste grid slots and income.Watch at 0:15 - 2
Prioritize income over raids
Your nukes generate cash continuously, even while offline. Focus on merging up before spending time raiding.
Passive income scales with merge depth — raids pay less until you reach the B band.Watch at 3:00 - 3
Lock before leaving
Always lock your base before closing the game. Unlocked bases can be raided and lose stored cash.

Redeem codes early
Free cash and nukes are pure merge fodder, so redeem before you grind. Clear plot space first — nuke rewards can be lost if you are at the spawn cap.

Raid when ready
Once you have a mid-band nuke and spare cash, launch your first raid on a weaker target to learn the mechanic. Hitting the same player three times declares war, so spread your hits if you only want a quick steal.

First Session Goals
In your first 30 minutes, aim to redeem every active code, merge up to at least the C band, and lock your base before your first break. Skip heavy raiding until passive income covers potential losses — see the Raid Guide when you are ready.
