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 dehydrate the Courier as well as giving him/her some energy to fend off sleep deprivation, which is notable as soda dehydration is a myth in real life. The drink will still heal you 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 player has access to a recipe which enables the creation of a home-brewed version of the drink.
