Nuka-Cola (Fallout: New Vegas)

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

Background
Nuka-Cola entered the beverage market in 2044, with the invention of the soft drink by John-Caleb Bradberton after two years of experimentation. It contained 120% of the recommended daily allowance of sugar, and took the United States market by storm, and within a year could be purchased nationwide.

Characteristics
While playing Hardcore mode, Nuka-Cola will give the player character 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.
