Nuclear Option offers a variety of available weapons across multiple archetypes, not all of which are implemented at time of writing. The following are a selection of weapons available as of patch 0.27.4, along with their attributes and best use cases.

These weapons are the selection available as of patch 0.27.4 and may not reflect the current offerings in game. Individual weapon performance in game may differ from figures provided in this video, as future patches make adjustments. Feel free to add any additional information, corrections, or insights I may have missed in the comments below.

Error Note: In this videos terminology chapter I mix up notching with terrain masking. Notching is an evasive maneuver, terrain masking is the process of hiding from radar using low flight or object occlusion.
