Nuka-Cola (Fallout: New Vegas)

Nuka-Cola is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
There is a Nuka-Cola plant in the Washington, D.C Area.

Characteristics
Nuka-Cola was the most common form of drink in Fallout 3; however, in Fallout: New Vegas, it is far less common compared to Sunset Sarsaparilla. Sunset Sarsaparilla is somewhat more useful because it does not contain any radiation.

While playing Hardcore mode, Nuka-Cola will give the drinker some energy to fend off sleep deprivation, at the cost of dehydrating them. The drink will still heal as well. When not playing Hardcore mode, Nuka-Cola provides +2 (25s) HP, +3 Rads, & 1 bottle cap.

Crafting
With the Honest Hearts add-on installed, the Courier has access to a recipe which enables the creation of a home-brewed version of the drink. Nuka-Cola is also used when crafting super stimpaks.
