Who could have imagined nuclear warfare in a casual fishing simulator game? But no, Fisch introduced Nukes to this chill game and even gave them a unique mechanic. Believe it or not, nukes don’t harm your characters. A Fisch nuke is actually the only non-totem item that can trigger an event to help you get fish with a specific mutation. So, if you are curious about how to get one of these in the game, dive right in and we will show you exactly how to catch a nuke in Fisch.
How to Catch a Nuke in Fisch
Nukes are non-fish, non-totem items in Fisch, similar to Treasure Maps and Fillionaire Tickets. Unfortunately, you cannot buy a nuke from any vendor in the game. As such, these are only caught alongside a fish at any random location and are one of the rarest items with their drop rate being as low as 1 in 50,000. That means you must have caught at least 50,000 fish to possibly catch a single nuke! For those unaware, that’s a chance of 0.002%.
Fisch nukes are also unaffected by any type of luck. So you must catch it the good old way. Once you hook a nuke, you will start a new minigame. You must balance the Nuke by pressing ‘Q‘ and ‘E‘ keys. Q is for moving the arrow to the left, while E is for moving it to the right.
If you successfully balance the nuke, it will be stored in your inventory for later use. Otherwise, it will explode at the exact location where you were fishing. This will grant all fish in the area a nuclear mutation. So if you wanted to add nuclear to the list of all Fisch mutations you want to try, do drop it intentionally.
Since this item is not affected by any form of luck boost, you only need to increase your fish catching speed. This can be done using a rod with high lure speed, preferably above 90% to get the instant catching ability. The Seraphic Rod, Challengers Rod, or the Tempest Rod are some of the best ones to go for. Besides having a high lure speed, these make their way into our Fisch rod tier list as a top picks.
Moreover, you can outfit your rods from the list of all Fisch enchantments like the Blessed Song enchant or Steady enchant to gain progress speed boosts. Finally, you can get some potent baits from our Fisch bait guide to increase the lure speed. If you can’t seem to afford some, then first use the latest Fisch codes for some cash.
How to Use a Nuke in Fisch
Once you catch a Nuke and complete the minigame to store it in your inventory, you can later use it anywhere you want. To use it, equip the nuke in your hand, press left mouse button to start the minigame again and purposely fail this time to drop the Nuke at your location. This will launch the Nuke in the air, and the water around you will be covered in a nuclear explosion for 30 minutes.
Keep in mind that you must use it in one of the best Fisch farming locations to gather all the cash you can. This is because as we mentioned above, all the fish you catch here will have the nuclear mutation, increasing each of their sale value 4x.
The region where you dropped the nuke will be covered in a green rim indicating the boundaries under which you must fish. Moreover, equipping the fish radar will show you the time remaining of getting fish with the mutation.
