The button

the button is a miscellaneous item in item asylum. It is a red button with a black base and a maroon radiation trefoil printed on it.
== Functionality==
the button is initially unusable and starts with 0 damage out of a total of 825, shown at the bottom of the screen. Much like cero metralleta or master spark, the button charges by dealing damage to hostile characters. Once fully charged, the button can be activated.
Upon activation, all players in the server will hear the Among Us emergency meeting sound, followed by the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 "Tactical Nuke Incoming!" voice line. Additionally, the user will be highlighted through walls for all players with a yellow-orange outline. A 12 second timer will start, represented by an icon that is displayed in the top left corner of the screen; this also plays the nuke countdown sound effect from Modern Warfare 2. After the timer hits 0, the nuke will go off. This generates a spherical blast 500 studs in radius that deals 1000 damage and applies fire, poison, curse, and ragdoll to the user and all enemies in its radius. Damage taken from the button bypasses defense boosts. Humanoids killed by the blast will turn into skeletons.
Should the user survive their own detonation, the button will be removed from their inventory. Unequipping the button or ragdolling at any point during the countdown will abort the sequence, reset the timer, and remove the highlight. Doing so does not remove any charge, but will put the button on a brief 2 second cooldown.
=== Notes ===
*The room spawned by presidential key is far away enough to not be hit by the explosion, thus it can be used as shelter from the explosion.
** Inversely, it can be used to teleport the button wielder away from the map, potentially saving those on the map if the countdown isn't cancelled in time.
* The explosion damage of the button can be negated by intangibility (allusions' Roll, bonk) or invincibility (energy drink, shine, spawn forcefield).
** holy mantle & counters such as tiger drop do not trigger on the explosion.
*The explosion damage bypasses the extra lives provided by masamune and amulet of the white king, instantly killing those who have them.
==Tips==
* Much like master spark, don't try to focus on filling its charge due to insane damage requirement. Focus on survival, then use it in safe spot to kill everyone in server.
* Upon activation, all players will be alarmed of the activator's presence. If possible, do dodge or get away from incoming attacks. Hiding spots may not be good, as the activator is highlighted to all players, which makes one extremely vulnerable to being found.
*Despite what the tooltip says, it isn't possible to gain a passive speed boost when having the button, as it is a miscellaneous item. 
**Though some melee items do provide a speed boost, it isn't necessary for the button's activation as one must hold it until the countdown is over. The player can't unequip the button and use their speed boost providing melee item as it will reset the countdown, unless they need to get away from potential harm.
**The only way to have increased speed during the countdown is another player with lute playing "Tune of the Horses", the flag post's active speed boost, or celeritas's main effect.
*If movement speed isn't an option, choosing a distant part of the map that is far from any fighting or spawn areas will make using the button much easier.
**Stay far, but not too far to ensure one gets a majority of the server killed off.
**The bigger the map, the easier this becomes. Just be mindful of typical shutdown items such as death note.

==Trivia==
*Prior to its removal, slayer's sword could theoretically have been used to tank through the button's nuke. If a player spawned with one slayer's sword and was gifted another, then gained the maximum total health boosts from each, they would have +1200 maximum health—enough to survive the nuke and its status effects.
*This is the one of the few items that highlight the player, though this item is the only one that highlights through walls.
*the button is blacklisted from BOSS and JGN rounds, meaning it is impossible for it to be naturally obtained during these rounds. This is likely due to its absurd base damage.
*Unequipping the button at the last possible moments causes the item to cease functioning and the user to be highlighted until death.
