Nuka-Grenade

A Nuka Grenade is a craftable grenade that does much more damage than a standard Frag Grenade.

Schematic Locations

 * The Nuka Grenade schematics can be obtained for free by traveling South of Vault 101 to Cliffside Cavern, near the bottom of the map. There is an adjoining cavern known as Yao Guai cave where you can locate the schematic at the western most part of the cave, around piles of bones (on the lower level - you can take a shortcut to this point by simply dropping down instead of following the wooden plank pathway).


 * If you complete The Nuka-Cola Challenge, you can obtain schematics for this weapon. *NOTE: Sierra Petrovita comments on how she has the ONLY schematics for this grenade, which is not true.


 * The traveling caravaner Doc Hoff also sells the Nuka Grenade schematic. 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. Note: If Doc Hoff dies (Don't worry, you have to be near a caravan trader for the trader to die) you CANNOT retrieve the schematics from his brahmin/inventory.

Important note

 * Nuka Grenades are affected by either the Demolition Expert or Pyromaniac perks!


 * Note: The Takoma Industrial factory is an excellent place to find all these ingredients, although it contains only a single bottle of Nuka-Cola Quantum. The other components can be found there in abundance.

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

Bug

 * On the PC at least, if you save the game, then create a Nuka Grenade to get the Weaponsmith achievement, and afterwards reload the game to get the Nuka Cola Quantum back you still keep the Nuka Grenade you created and your Nuka Cola Quantum count will be back to normal.

Appearances

 * Nuka Grenades appear only in Fallout 3.


 * You can find a Nuka Grenade on the Mechanist's workbench.


 * You Can also find a Nuka Grenade on the Mechanist after killing him.


 * You can find a Nuka Grenade on a workbench in a building in Evergreen Mills
