To ignite the world’s first solo nuke, a Europe streamer played for more than 11 hours at a time.
Winning a round in CoD Warzone 2 is a tough undertaking for most players, a special case, maybe a stroke of luck. A Warzone win is an event that you celebrate with your squad because you finally beat well over 100 other players.
For Manuel Herbst, better known on the internet as ShuKz or ShuKzNorris, a single victory is nothing! He has on twitch actually achieved the impossible: ShuKz has been considered as since December 1st the world’s first solo player to nuke in Warzone 2 and will probably go down in the history books of the Battle Royale genre (if there is such a thing).
What there should be a book for are the many errors that Warzone 2 started with and which we address in the podcast:

Has CoD Warzone 2 had a false start?
Why is this such a big deal? Well, detonating a nuke is considered the ultimate challenge in Warzone 2 and even with a squad few players in the world have ever managed to do it. Not only do you have to win five rounds in a row, you also have to solve a specific quest that permanently marks you for all opponents and drains your life energy.
And with this disadvantage you still have to defend an area for what feels like two minutes against the whole server. Only then will nuclear victory beckon. Here we explain the hard way to nuke in Warzone 2 step by step.
With tactics and calmness to victory
Pulling off all of this without dying once is a nearly impossible task. But how did ShuKz do it? In his video you can see how he is not only highly concentrated, but also always very calm, maintaining an overview and assessing situations before he plunges into battle.
This is also emphasized by his fans on YouTube. The comments there say: “This calm is simply outstanding”, “Alone with what serenity you played it down” or “Proceeding strategically like this is simply in a completely different league.” You can see the whole video here:

Which loadout was played?
Of course there can be no guarantee that you will suddenly play like ShuKz or even get a nuke with a certain loadout. After all, practice in handling your equipment always makes the difference – and of course a cool head. Nevertheless, sometimes tips from professionals help.
ShuKz grabbed this loadout in his rounds as soon as he could:
- Primary Weapon: Riot Shield
- Secondary Weapon: P 890 Pistol (Akimbo)
- Tactical: Rauchgranate
- Lethal: Semtex
- Perks: Double Time, Bomb Squad, Resupply, High Alert
Protected from fire with the shield, ShuKz can safely close in on enemies and then engage in melee combat with his dual pistols. According to our analysis, he relies on the following attachments for the P890:
Griff: Price P890
Laser: 1MW Pistol Laser
Store: 12 shots
Mouth: FT Steel Fire Silencer
Deduction: Bruen Express
In general, of course, there are many shooting irons that can lead you to victory! We have compiled the best weapon options in Warzone 2 in our guide.
