Nuka-Grenade

A Nuka Grenade is a craftable grenade that does much more damage than a standard Frag Grenade. When thrown, the grenade produces a high powered explosion seconded only to the Fatman's Mini Nuke explosion, and Bottlecap Mine (with perks). The Nuka Grenades are like Molotov Cocktails in that when they erupt into a blue fireball, and the fires (as well as a radioactive fallout field) linger for a few seconds afterwards.

The grenade is found in higher levels on corpses and various lootable objects. It can also be created using the proper Schematic.

Multiple schematics will increase the number of Nuka Grenades made from a single set of ingredients. Two schematics will make two Nuka Grenades from the same amount of materials, and three schematics will make three grenades. The damage of the Nuka Grenade does not change.

Components:
 * Nuka-Cola Quantum
 * Tin can
 * Turpentine
 * Abraxo Cleaner

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.

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 end on a pile of bones.


 * 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 randomly in front of the various main towns (Megaton, Rivet City, Canterbury Commons, etc).

Important note
Nuke Grenades are not affected by either the Demolition Expert or Pyromaniac perks! Whether this is a bug or intentional is unknown.

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.
