Nuclear Neighbors BETA Endings and Secret Routes
What the badges prove about Alien Saviors, Child of Radiation, cryptids, and the vampire friend — and what they do not.
Nuclear Neighbors BETA is a day-survival Roblox experience first, but Building Adventure also shipped ending and companion badges. This page is honest about the difference. A badge that hundreds of players hold is a real route. A badge at zero awards is a hypothesis. Exact trigger steps are still being mapped in this public BETA. If a Discord screenshot names an item, a street, or a three-step ritual we cannot see on an official badge, it does not belong here as fact.
Play endings on Normal unless you like losing a DEADLY stash. Servers still hold 20 players; a stranger can complete, block, or grief the same flag you are aiming at. Read How to Survive until the camp can survive a failed experiment.
What is confirmed
Confirmed by badge text, not by fan wikis:
- Alien Saviors — get the Alien Saviors ending
- Child of Radiation — become a child of radiation. Full roster card: Child of Radiation.
- Bats? nah friend — get the vampire friend. Full roster card: vampire friend.
- Cryptid Killer — hunt all cryptids
Alien Saviors, Child of Radiation, and the vampire friend have been awarded. Cryptid Killer has not. That split should control how confident this page sounds. Track them on the badge checklist and watch the BETA changelog when Building Adventure adds or renames a route.
Alien Saviors
Alien Saviors is the one badge that uses the word “ending” in its description. Players have completed it, so the route exists in the live public BETA. We still will not publish a fake antenna puzzle, a named crater, or a countdown you must start on day X, because those details are not in the official text and they are still being mapped.
Practical approach: keep a stable bunker, do not dump the run on Hatman or a multiplied Skeleto, and treat unusual sky or visitor events as something to document, not something to ignore. If you think you are close, do not queue HARD. If the ending fails, you still want the day count. Pair this hunt with Encounters so a toilet jumpscare does not look like a lore trigger.
When someone claims a step-by-step, ask whether it matches the badge (“Get the Alien Saviors ending”) and whether more than one lobby has repeated it after a patch. Until then, this wiki records the destination, not a scripted speedrun.
Child of Radiation
Child of Radiation is “become a child of radiation.” It has more awards than Alien Saviors, which usually means the trigger is closer to normal play — radiation exposure, a transformation, or an event that fires during ordinary loot trips. That is an inference from award counts, not a recipe.
Do not stand in the wasteland on purpose until a patch note says that is the method. The neighborhood map only guarantees three layers: houses, bunker, wasteland. Radiation is in the title of HARD’s Pure Radiation badge as a 50-day survival check, which is a different badge. Do not mix “survive 50 days in HARD” with “become a child of radiation.” They share a mood, not a confirmed trigger.
If you transform, screenshot it, check that the badge popped, and compare notes with the checklist. If you do not, keep playing. This is not a missing menu button.
Vampire friend
Bats? nah friend is get the vampire friend. Awarded often enough that it is a real companion-style outcome, closer to an encounter resolution than to a credits roll. It still sits on this endings page because it changes who you live with in the bunker.
We will not invent a blood item, a named house, or a night you must stay awake. If a bat-themed event starts, do not immediately attack; the badge name argues for befriending instead of slaying. If combat is forced, leave and try another session. Cross-check behavior with Encounters so you do not confuse this with police rats or the toilet creature.
A vampire friend on a 20-player server is still a shared NPC. Other players can spoil the mood. Hunt it with a small group that wants the same badge.
Cryptid hunt
Cryptid Killer is hunt all cryptids. Award count is zero. That is the most important sentence on this page. Either the full set is not reachable yet, a required cryptid is not spawning, or the tracker is not granting. Publishing a fake “kill these five in this order” list would be fiction.
Use the cryptids roster as the working list of what players report, and treat every entry as unverified until the badge moves off zero. Do not wipe a Help me run to hunt shadows. If you are specifically ending-hunting, use throwaway Normal days, note what you saw, and come back after a patch.
Hatman is a named taker, not automatically “all cryptids.” Skeleto is a multiplier skeleton, not automatically a cryptid. Keep those pages separate: Hatman, Skeleto, cryptids.
How to treat rumors in BETA
The public BETA will keep adding, breaking, and renaming flags. Good ending play looks like this:
- Survive on purpose using Getting Started habits.
- Pick one route. Do not mix Cryptid Killer with Stinky with Time thief.
- Limit experiments to runs you can afford to lose.
- Believe badge text over thumbnails.
- Re-read this page after the updates hub moves.
There are still no confirmed promo codes that unlock endings. The wheel is a reward spin, not an alien phone. Rank how dangerous a hunt feels on the tier list, then go play the actual neighborhood instead of waiting for a perfect walkthrough that the BETA has not earned yet.
Alien Saviors is completable. Child of Radiation is completable. The vampire friend is completable. Cryptid Killer is not proven completable. Hold those four sentences in your head when a thumbnail promises the true ending in three minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for Nuclear Neighbors BETA players.
Which endings are actually completable right now?
Alien Saviors and Child of Radiation have awards. The vampire friend badge has awards too. Cryptid Killer still has zero, so treat that hunt as unsolved in the public BETA.
Do you have exact trigger steps?
No. Exact steps are still being mapped. This page only repeats official badge text and award reality. When a patch confirms a method, it will land on the updates hub first.
Is the vampire friend an ending or an encounter?
The badge is “get the vampire friend,” which plays like a companion outcome. We file it here and with Encounters because it changes the bunker, not because it is a credits roll.
Should I hunt cryptids on a day 100 save?
No. Cryptid Killer has never been awarded. Hunt on throwaway Normal days and log sightings on the cryptids page instead of gambling Help me.
Can other players block an ending?
Will a code unlock Alien Saviors?
There are no confirmed official codes. Ignore redeem menus until the codes hub lists a real one from Building Adventure.
