Schematics - Nuka Grenade

 are the schematics needed to make the Explosives weapon "Nuka Grenade".

Multiple schematics will increase the number of Nuka Grenades made from a single set of ingredients: Two schematics ("version 2") will make two Nuka Grenades from the same amount of materials, and three schematics will make three grenades. The damage of the Nuka Grenade does not change.

Locations

 * Nuka Grenade schematics can be found in Cliffside Cavern. Go through the caverns to access the Yao Guai Cave. The schematics are on the "ground" floor at the northwest-most part of the cave, among a pile of skeletons. You can take a shortcut to this point by simply dropping down once you get to the cavern proper, instead of following the wooden plank pathway.
 * If you complete The Nuka-Cola Challenge, you can obtain schematics for this weapon. Sierra Petrovita comments on how she has the only schematics for this grenade, but that is obviously not true.

Note : In this quest, you can have more than one schematic with a glitch (NOTE: Glitch seems to be fixed as of 11/12/2009 on 360). See instructions below : (Xbox360, PS3 and PC)
 * 1) Give the last Nuka-Cola Quantum to Sierra Petrovita . You will receive the Nuka Grenade schematics and good karma as your reward.
 * 2) Just before the game said you have complete this quest (you have to be very fast), talk to her again and "give" her the last Nuka-Cola Quantum (it doesn't matter if you don't have Nuka-Cola Quantum with you). You will receive the schematics and good karma again.
 * 3) You can repeat the second operation if you want to get another schematics.

You can do this until the game says that you have finish the quest.
 * The Caravan Merchant Doc Hoff also sells the Nuka Grenade schematics. He wears a pre-war suit and appears in front of the various main towns (Megaton, Rivet City, Canterbury Commons, etc.) on a circular route. You can pick pocket Doc Hoff for the Nuka Grenade schematics but you must be hidden. Therefore, you should kill the guard protecting him.However,Doc Hoff may be killed in a random enemy encounter if you do this- Confirmed on 360. (Reader Note: It is possible to pickpocket Hoff for these schematics. If line of sight prevents this at the caravan stop, waiting until he starts traveling and following just within pickpocket distance while crouched until your status displays [hidden], then saving and reloading until you are successful. High sneak and the Silent Running perk help, but are not necessary.

Components
Once you have the schematics, you will need a workbench and one each of the following items:

This weapon has both the most-frequent components and the single least frequent (except perhaps for the Deathclaw Gauntlet). There are approx. 400 Turpentines and Abraxo Cleaners in the game, and 3600 Tin Cans. The limiting component is the Nuka-Cola Quantum.

Component locations

 * The Takoma Industrial factory is an excellent place to find all ingredients except the rare Nuka-Cola Quantum (although one can be found there). The other three components are abundant (11 Turpentines, 30 Tin Cans), with a ridiculous number of Abraxo Cleaners. The 81 you can find here are all you need to make all the Nuka-Grenades possible if you find every single Quantum on the map, and also do the Nuka-Cola Challenge (there are ~110 Quantums on the map, and the Challenge requires 30 of them).
 * If you are lazy and don't want to go look for a Tin Can (despite their abundance), you can go to Arefu and talk to Brailee Ewers. If you say "Any help would be appreciated" or something along those lines she will give you a Tin Can, saying it is some freshly baked cookies. She gives you 10, and then must "Bake some more."
 * There are 5 or 6 Nuka-Cola Quantums in Eulogy's Pad in Paradise Falls
 * There are 4 to 5 Nuka Cola Quantums in the back room of the Super-Duper mart. You can easily grab these while doing "The Wasteland Survival Guide."
 * A full list of Nuka-Cola Quantums locations can be found Here.
