It alters the fabric of time and space, creating a singularity in a targeted area. The Scrin were attracted to Earth by the Liquid Tiberium Bomb, and brought along their own superweapon, the Rift Generator. GDI Director Redmond Boyle commissioned the construction of another Liquid Tiberium Bomb, and authorised its use during the Battle at Ground Zero. GDI accidentally set off this device when an Ion Cannon was used during the Siege of Temple Prime. Worse, it would cause a chain reaction with any Tiberium in the blast radius, increasing the explosive power by an order of magnitude. Nod also developed the Liquid Tiberium Bomb, a weapon that had a minimal blast yield several hundred times greater than that of a nuclear warhead. Though GDI managed to confiscate these stockpiles following the conquest of Egypt, Nod stole GDI nuclear warheads in the Australian Outback. The nuclear missile that destroyed the GDSS Philadelphia was launched from a concealed base in Cairo.
Nod had once again started to stockpile nuclear weaponry, launched from the Temple of Nod. This over-reliance nearly proved fatal, however, when after the destruction of Goddard Space Center the Ion Cannons were temporarily rendered inoperable, and Nod was able to begin a global offensive with little fear of retribution. Now capable of large scale destruction, utterly annihilating anything from entire military bases to small cities, GDI relied heavily upon the threat of death from the skies to keep Nod in check.

GDI's Ion Cannons received a significant update by 2047. Kane used it to mutate all carbon-based life worldwide into Tiberium life in the alternate Nod campaign.ĬABAL's massive Core Defender could in some ways be considered a superweapon, as it was bordering on indestructible and had unparalleled firepower, though its inability to attack air targets proved its Achilles' heel. One superweapon that Nod invented was the World Altering Missile. However, Nod did still use its smaller, 'tactical' nuclear weapons to destroy the island playing host to General Vega. Also, Nod invented the Chemical missile, which utilized the processed roots of the Veinhole monster, and would release deadly Tiberium gas upon striking a target. Nod largely abandoned its nuclear arsenal, choosing to use the air burst Multi missile, which would fragment into many smaller bomblets in mid-air. GDI upgraded and expanded the Ion Cannon network, although they functionally remained similar to the older 'surgical strike' weapon. Nod developed a man-placed target designator for nuclear-tipped ICBM strikes called the "Retribution", and used it effectively in various situations, sending high yield warheads with pinpoint precision from Temples, trucks and submarines with full-fear red sky effect using a secret device. GDI member nations also held stockpiles of nuclear weapons, but swore not to use them, even if their enemies did. Nod Temples served as ICBM launch facilities that housed nuclear warheads far more powerful than their Soviet predecessors. Meanwhile, Nod forces had managed to procure large amounts of fissile material, and the scientific expertise required to effectively use them. The GDI developed a man-placed target designator for Ion Cannon strikes called GS-2 Godsend Ion Cannon beacons, and used it effectively in various situations. Kane was thought to be dead when GDI forces used their Ion Cannon on the Temple of Nod in Sarajevo. By 1995, GDI had discretely developed the Ion Cannon, an orbital satellite weapon that could be used as an unstoppable surgical tool of destruction.
