The New Nuke (It'll be around forever, eh eh eh)

[Frank_Stein]

They do end when all syndies die, but only if the nuke isn't already armed.

Really? Because I had a syndi round the other night witg a low pop. I was the only syndicate and instead of bothering with the nuke I brought Vaughn Braun over and armed them with a gun and c-saber to test their combat effectiveness.

I died without arming the nuke and the round continued.

Incidentally, the monkey seems to prefer to use the item in the right hand, but swapped the csaber with a revolver in his left hand, so maybe they have a preference for guns?
