Nucleon and Becquerel in combat.

Nucleon's primary weapon consists of a heavy rifle, set into the arm of his suit. The rifle is powered by a miniature reactor, and is an incredibly slow firing yet effective weapon at range. The rifle can be charged by holding fire, and does more damage at full charge. Firing the rifle accumulates "rads," which can be channeled into one of two applications. When rads are full, Nucleon cannot fire until the rads are vented.


Tapping shift immobilizes Nucleon for a few seconds, and expends his rads in order to heal him. A "full charge" of rads will fully refill Nucleon's health, but he will be vulnerable as he has to stand still during this period.

Nucleon's alt fire requires at least 25 percent of his radiation stock to be full. When activated, it fires a blast in a wide cone in front of him- it is a devestating weapon at close range, but utterly useless at longer range. A fully charged radiation blast will likely one-shot most "squishy" targets. This skill can also be used to instantly vent radiation, but has a very long cooldown, leaving Nucleon defenseless at short range as his rifle is, once again, very slow firing.

Nucleon's ultimate ability is called Meltdown. This skill kicks his reactors into overdrive, causing him to exude radiation in an area around him. For a few seconds, he does damage every second to every person around him, while filling his rads to full. He is not invincible during this time, however, and can easily be shut down from a distance.
