New Assets and Design

The Nuke Silo is a massive structure with multiple levels and features, including newly designed watchtowers, port cabins, and fences. The silo also has a singular exit without an entrance, which could potentially change as the monument evolves.

The Nuke Silo has several side rooms, elevators, and NPCs scattered throughout its levels, which could hold potential for loot and future updates. The attention to detail is impressive, with assets like bathroom stalls, living quarters, and control rooms adding to the immersive experience.

Exploring the Nuke Silo

Upon entering the Nuke Silo, players will find themselves on Level 1. As they descend the levels, they’ll encounter various rooms and NPCs, including a control room with sparking electronics, a warhead storage room, and even a cave-like area. An infirmary and living quarters can also be found within the Nuke Silo, giving the monument a realistic and immersive feel.

The Future of the Nuke Silo

While the Nuke Silo is currently in its earliest stages, future updates are expected to bring more functionality, loot, and even lore to the monument. This could potentially include the addition of floor-mounted control panels, an attack helicopter, and other new features.

The Nuke Silo is available for testing on the aux02 branch, where players can explore the monument, fight NPCs, and provide feedback on its current state. As updates roll out and more information becomes available, we’ll keep you informed on the latest developments.
