So You Want to Go Nuclear in Detroit: A Totally Rad (and Radioactive) Guide
Let's face it, sometimes negotiation goes about as well as a toddler trying to parallel park. Especially when you're an android fighting for freedom against, well, humanity's not-so-bright side. Enter the nuclear option, otherwise known as the "wow, we're all screwed" ending in Detroit: Become Human. But hey, if that's the revolution you crave, then this guide is your radioactive roadmap!
Warning: This guide contains spoilers and enough existential dread to power a small city. Proceed with caution (or a Geiger counter).

| How To Get Nuclear Ending Detroit |
Step 1: Become BFFs with the Most Wanted Android in Detroit
First things first, you gotta be playing as Markus, the leader of the android revolution. This charismatic chap is the only one with the guts (or circuits?) to pull off a nuclear meltdown. Make sure you're on the righteous, revolution-leading path. None of that pacifist, kumbaya stuff here. We're bringing the boom!
Step 2: Befriend a Terrorist (But Not the Sketchy Kind)
During the Stratford incident, you'll meet the lovely (and slightly unhinged) North. She's got a dirty bomb strapped to her chest, which is basically a walking "oh sh*t" button. Now, calm down, Connor fangirls! You don't have to fight her. In fact, convince her to give you the bomb. Easy, right? Just tell her about your grand plan to scare the humans into submission with a little radioactive spice.
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
Step 3: The Big Decision (That Ends in a Big Boom)
Now comes the part where your choices truly matter. During the final march, the humans will inevitably try to shut you down. Here's your moment of glory (or utter despair): detonate the dirty bomb. Congratulations! You've just nuked Detroit.
But wait, before you start practicing your mushroom cloud impersonation, there's a twist. The bomb doesn't actually wipe out Detroit, it just irradiates the heck out of it. The androids, being made of fancy future tech, are mostly fine. The humans, well, not so much. So yeah, you've basically turned Detroit into a glowing wasteland ruled by robots. High five, Markus!
