Yes, it's right there, in the inventory.  The Big Fragging Gun itself.  However, that wasn't the most impressive thing I did...

I beat the Wall!  :D

It was sort of a fluke.  Earlier, I picked up the thermo -- I thought I was doing so well, I thought I had a ghost of a chance to see the Cyberdemon.  However, six squares away from the entrance to the Wall, was the Invincibility Globe.

I have NEVER beat the Wall.  It's too tough.  This time, I didn't frag around...  I used the Nuke immediately.

A hundred soldiers who had fallen before on the Wall got the last laughs as the explosions sounded...  :D

Strange, the Wall never seemed to me as being overly difficult... Try going through the middle, and just keep feeding the Hell Knights / Barons with rockets. It helps having some decent armor and a couple of healing packs in inventory, too - I'd suggest trying to switch to coward tactics whenever you need to use a medpac or change armor, that way you stand some chance to dodge the acid balls hurled at you.

Though I have to admit that your solution with thermie is by far more kewl ;-) :-D

I agree, me too never seemed The Wall as a though level, even on UV. I don't remember, when last time i get hit on it, it easily can be cleared without any damage.)) Practice a lot with RL - it is great weapon!

Strange... I've beaten The Wall twice on Too Young To Die. It's just a matter of breaking through at the top, then taking out whatever enters your field of vision. It's easier than in other modes, since there are no Barons of Hell, just Hell Knights.
It's probably easier if you have points in Reloader.

The wall is even easier if you abuse the silly AI.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

but if you wanna do it without such tactics, an RL with 30 rockets is enough to follow xdwishere's advice
