The Nuka-Cola Challenge

 is a Fallout 3 quest connected with the Nuka-Cola soft drink. It is also an Xbox 360 and PC achievement.

To start this quest, find Sierra Petrovita at Girdershade. Girdershade is located west of Jocko's Pop and Gas Stop or SW of Smith Casey's Garage [You will go to the garage during a Main Quest].

Upon finding Sierra Petrovita, she offers you to take the Nuka-Cola tour, of which she has a large amount of Nuka-Cola collectibles. After saying that you will take the tour, she shows you around her small 1 room home, and talks about various Nuka-Cola facts, and tells you about some of the items in the room. After the tour she gives you an "Ice Cold" Nuka-Cola.

She then asks you to collect Nuka-Cola Quantums and says she will pay you for them (40 caps each). Once you give her enough to fill her Nuka-Cola Vending Machine, she says she'll give you the Schematic for the "Nuka-Grenade". It takes 30 Nuka-Colas to fill the Vending Machine.

Exiting her house, you are confronted by her neighbor, Ronald. He will pay you the same price for those Quantums, double if your Speech skill is high enough to persuade him. He thinks giving her the bottles will let him do the "horizontal bump" with her. You also have the option if you have the Black Widow perk to do a threesome in exchange for him finding the bottles. There are three Nuka-Cola trucks scattered through the map. There is one near Paradise Falls, one near the Super-Duper Mart and another near Oldny, and in Eulogy Jones' home there is a few in an area behind his starcase but there is not 30, so some you'll have to find on your own. There are also about 10 in Super-Duper Marts back room with the protectron

Truck locations

 * One truck is east-southeast of Old Oldny. A red rocket is your landmark.
 * Paradise falls?
 * Super Duper Mart?

Bugs

 * Sometimes, Sierra Petrovita will run around her home in "fleeing" mode for a random period of time. In some cases, it will be absolutely impossible to talk to her. Reloading a save will not always fix this. This happens either randomly or if the player has killed an NPC that she likes (Ronald).


 * The quest never updates after you get the manifest from the Nuka-Cola bottling factory. This is unexplainable.


 * There isn't any Nuka-Cola trucks on the PS3 version of this game. Those might also be very easy to blow up, or as noted above, the quest simply doesn't update and the trucks are never placed in the game.


 * If the Black Widow dialogue option is used Ronald often ends up dying once he reaches the Nuka-Cola Factory.
