Pristine Vending Machine



The Pristine Nuka-Cola Machine is a house improvement for your Megaton house or Tenpenny Tower Suite.

Obtaining
It can be acquired from Moira Brown in Megaton for the house, or Lydia Montenegro for the suite. Its base value is 500 bottle caps, but it will cost you from 662 caps at Barter 50 to 550 caps at Barter 100 and 500 if you have the Master Trader perk.

Use
The Nuka-Cola machine allows you to turn your Nuka-Cola into Ice Cold Nuka-Cola, which heals you for 20 HP instead of 10 (24 instead of 12 with the Food Sanitizer). This won't make you any money, however, because Ice Cold Nuka-Cola sells for the same 20 caps as regular Nuka-Cola.

In addition to the machine, you also get 8 Nuka-Colas, a Nuka-Cola Bottle Lamp and a Nuka-Cola Clock. Although it is called "pristine," there are many blackened areas on the machine. The "pristine" condition may refer to the machine having a functional refrigeration system after 200 years.

It's also very useful as an extra storage device, for those who like to keep their items separated. This is the only way to obtain extra storage space in your purchased home (without buying the Vault theme, which adds a locker). Nuka-Cola can be put into the machine as if it were an ordinary container to avoid turning them Ice Cold.
