Nuka-Cola Quantum (Fallout 3)

 is a variation of regular Nuka-Cola with the added ability of rising 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 glow that is given off by the Nuka-Cola Quantum due to isotopes being added to the drink.

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 not known how popular this drink was in the pre-war era, but it was most likely more popular than Cherry Nuka-Cola considering how much easier it is to find than Cherry.

According to a few characters, drinking Nuka-Cola Quantum makes one's urine glow for up to a week.
