KF2 Nuked Objective Mode: Which Doors to Weld Each Wave

On Nuked the Objective mode sends the team through eight waves of different tasks, and welding the right doors at the right moment decides whether the team survives the later objectives. This is a paraphrase of a community guide that lists which doors to weld and repair wave by wave. It assumes a full team with at least one medic if survival gets difficult. For the map's collectibles see Nuked collectibles locations.

Wave 1: crawlers

Wave 1 position Wave 1 area.

Survive in whatever way works for you. If you struggle (for example with more than three players), a medic helps. Do not worry about the doors yet, but remember that the door you use here may break and will need repair before wave 2.

Wave 2: repairing the electric device

Wave 2 doors The doors to weld in wave 2.

Wave 2 area A second view of the wave 2 area.

Everyone should go downstairs immediately and weld 4 doors. Weld only after everybody is inside. Do not forget to repair the door you used in wave 1 if it was broken.

Wave 3: area defence and activating the console

Wave 3 doors Wave 3 defence area.

Wave 3 doors, second view A second view of the wave 3 doors.

Go inside the defence area and weld all doors as in wave 2. This time one door is already broken, so repair it quickly.

Trader time between waves 3 and 4

Doors to repair in trader time The two doors to repair during trader time.

Use trader time to repair any door that broke and will be needed in the next waves. The two doors used in wave 3 are the most important ones for wave 5, so repair them.

Wave 4: delivering the tablet

There is no door to weld in this wave. The tablet appears in a random place, so the author thinks it is better not to weld any doors.

Wave 5: escorting the drone

Wave 5 doors Doors on the drone route in wave 5.

Wave 5 doors, second view A second view of the drone route.

This is the key wave of the guide. Weld and repair the doors shown on the drone route.

Wave 6: area defence

Wave 6 door The single door to weld in wave 6.

Only one door needs welding and repairing, so this wave is easy.

Wave 7: escorting the drone, part 2

Wave 7 doors Doors along the wave 7 route.

You need to weld 3 doors along the way; do it when the drone is near. A Molotov or a healing grenade while you weld makes it easier.

Wave 8: boss battle

This is the boss wave, so spend all your dosh on the fight. The boss is always Hans.

FAQ

Do I weld doors in wave 4?
No. The tablet position is random, so the author suggests not welding any doors in that wave.
Which boss ends the objective match?
The boss wave on Nuked is always Hans.
