Merge a Nuke! base lock planner
Estimate whether a lock upgrade protects enough cash before you go AFK or hold for a major merge.
Protect your cash
Recommendation
Buy the lock upgrade before going AFK with this much cash.
Official copy confirms base locking matters. The upgrade timing still depends on your server's duration, cooldown, and how often players raid you.

What guides report about lock timing
Two independent guide surfaces report a 30-second cooldown between base locks: allthings.how (July 7, 2026) says there is a 30-second cooldown between base locks, and GameHov (August 5, 2026) says you will have to wait 30 seconds between base locks. Both also say upgrading Lock Base extends the shield window. Official Roblox does not publish cooldown or shield durations, so treat the 30-second number as reported rather than verified, and keep entering your own observed values in the planner until in-game capture or an official source confirms exact timings.
