  1. 1

    Check your base after the patch

    Load in after the August 1 update and scan your plot for any new UI tied to mutations. The official listing only confirms that mutations are coming to nukes — not where the menu lives or what it costs.

    Keep merging while details are pending

    Until Nuke The Game publishes mutation rules, treat merges the same as before the patch: combine identical nukes to climb tiers. Do not assume mutated items follow different merge math until the developer confirms it.
