Nuka-Cola Quantum (Fallout 3)

Nuka-Cola Quantum is a variation of regular Nuka-Cola with the added ability of raising the PC's action points.

This item temporarily grants an additional 20 AP. This effect may exceed the characters maximum AP.

You can quickly tell the difference between a Nuka-Cola and a Nuka-Cola Quantum by the purple-blue glow that is given off by the Nuka-Cola Quantum due to isotopes being added to the drink. This glow also makes the drink easy to spot.

Sierra Petrovita asks you to bring her 30 bottles of Quantum Cola in exchange for a "secret prize you're gonna love." She can be found in Girdershade. This is the The Nuka-Cola Challenge quest. After completing the quest, if you return to Sierra with 1 Nuka-Cola Quantum, 1 Flour and 1 Vodka, she can make you a Mississippi Quantum Pie. It grants you 20pts to your AP, -1 to your Int, and +1 to your Str.

Nuka-Cola Quantum is also an ingredient used in making a Nuka Grenade.

It is unknown how Quantum would have compared to other spin offs such as Cherry Nuka Cola, because Quantum was released to the public only hours before the bombs fell. The shipment to Old Olney did not even arrive in time due to an accident beforehand.

According to a few characters, drinking Nuka-Cola Quantum makes one's urine glow for up to a week. The isotope used to make it glow is apparently Strontium, which "gives it that extra kick." To others, it is said to feel like downing a handful of sugar and subsequently punching yourself in the head.

Bottle locations

Trivia
The concept of adding strontium to a soft drink for extra kick is a clearly ridiculous idea that no one would ever actually do... right? Wrong.
