One user pointed out that the nuke scene in the trailer was more of a lore element, designed to illustrate the creation of the radiation zones within the game. Despite this, there is an inactive nuke present at the Red Mesa installation, as part of the game’s lore but not gameplay.

This piece of lore has led to various humorous comments and discussions, with some players joking about trying to activate the nuke using basic tools. Discussions about the game’s handling of explosives have been ongoing for years.
Some players recall earlier attempts to create massive explosions with TNT and other in-game items, which often resulted in significant frame rate drops and glitches.
Fans recall various issues with the game’s engine handling large explosions, as noted by one user who mentioned that even smaller explosions cause noticeable performance drops.
This has led to doubts about the game’s ability to handle something as catastrophic as a nuke without severe lag or crashes, especially given the game’s voxel-based destruction mechanics.
