This product is the pinnacle of taste sensation. Seventeen fruit flavors and that signature cola taste blend to form the perfect refreshing soft drink. With its new Strontium additive, it's got that unique kick to keep you on your toes.Milo

Nuka-Cola Quantum is a consumable item in Fallout 3.

Background[]

Main article: Nuka-Cola

Nuka-Cola entered the beverage market in 2044, with the invention of the soft drink by John-Caleb Bradberton after two years of experimentation. Though strictly unhealthy (containing 120% of the recommended daily allowance of sugar), it took the United States market by storm and within a year it could be purchased nationwide. Its popularity rapidly increased and within several years it was the most popular beverage across the globe.[1][2]

The unique taste of Nuka-Cola is the result of a combination of seventeen fruit essences, balanced to enhance the classic cola flavor.[3][4] The balance is precarious and minute adjustments can affect it severely. Such was the case when the freshly launched Nuka-Cola was reformulated in response to the Great Passion Fruit Famine of 2044 and consumers noticed the change in flavor.[5]

Nuka-Cola contains excessive amounts of caffeine and 120% of the recommended daily value of sugar, making it decisively unhealthy for extended consumption.[6] To counter the negative image, it was marketed as being fortified with vitamins, minerals and "health tonics."[7] Intensive consumption can cause Nuka-Cola addiction, which can lead to splitting headaches if Nuka-Cola isn't consumed on a regular basis.[8] Nuka-Cola Quantum was created in October 2076 by the Beverageer Division at Nuka-World. It was a byproduct of Project Cobalt, which began in 2076 when Nuka-Cola Corporation engaged in weapons research under U.S. military sponsorship.[9][10] The team found that a strontium-90 isotope derivative, originally developed for military ordnance, created a bright blue glow that worked well as a food additive when adjusted for consumption. The lead Beverageer, Rex Meacham, gave the new drink formula its distinctive name.[11][12]

Live testing of the drink, codenamed "Sea Lion," occurred at other regional facilities. Experimentation with other isotopes showed that none worked as effectively or as safely as strontium-90.[13] Initial testing with the drink led to significant health problems and even deaths among taste testers, but waivers allowed the company to avoid litigation and adjustments created a final product with only mild side effects.[14][15] It ultimately passed inspections supervised by the "Food and Drug Association"[16] and was marketed in the fourth quarter of 2077 as a new flavor of Nuka-Cola with "Twice the calories, twice the carbohydrates, twice the caffeine, and twice the taste!"[17][18][19] The flavor itself was modified via an 18th ingredient: pomegranate fruit flavoring.[20] However, Quantum's appearance and the added isotope were controversial, and the public was divided on the drink.[21] It was released as part of a limited test run, and only the Nuka-Cola plant in Washington, D.C. produced it at a commercial scale before the Great War.[22] Nuka-Cola Quantum was officially released to the public at the same time as the Great War,[citation needed] and so the soda is incredibly rare in the wasteland, with many bottles found in trucks that were shipping the product.

Characteristics[]

Drinking a Nuka-Cola Quantum will increase one's Action Points by 20 for 4 minutes and radiation by 10. Mixed in a tin can with Abraxo cleaner and turpentine, it creates a Nuka-grenade, which is much more powerful than normal grenades. Nuka-Cola addict and fanatic Sierra Petrovita has created a recipe in which mixing Nuka-Cola Quantum with flour and vodka makes a delicious pastry.

Calvert Mansion Point Lookout (add-on) 1 In the panic room, on a shelf to the left along with 4 other Nuka-Colas. These colas have been made miniature to fit on the shelf.
Flooded sinkhole Point Lookout (add-on) 2 Floating in the water, among other debris.
Ritual site Point Lookout (add-on) 1 Hidden in an open casket in the northernmost part of the caves.
Trapper's shack Point Lookout (add-on) 1 Basement, in the swamplurk enclosure.
Engineering core Mothership Zeta (add-on) 3 1 appears in a box with some alien power cells after returning to the engineering core. The other two appear in a box behind a generator after returning once more to the engineering core.

In addition, there is a random encounter on the map in which a traveling salesman will offer to sell a Quantum for 100 caps (or 50 if a Speech check or Barter check is passed). This can happen a theoretically unlimited number of times, but he will only sell one Quantum per encounter.

Random spawns can also be found in Nuka-Cola vending machines. When accessing one of the 178 vending machines scattered indoors and outdoors throughout the Wasteland, there is approximately a 10% random chance of finding a Nuka-Cola Quantum. The contents of a Nuka-Cola vending machine load the first time you enter a cell and never reset. Therefore, to maximize this chance you should save before entering a new cell and travel to the vending machine. If it doesn't contain a Quantum, load and try again. Remember, outdoor cells frequently encompass several map markers.

With this in mind, it should be possible to get approximately 120 extra Nuka-Cola Quantum bottles with extreme dedication. The reason extreme dedication is a prerequisite is that some locations have two vending machines, meaning a 1 percent chance of getting 2 Nuka-Cola Quantums (and a 18 percent chance of getting one). Furthermore, some vending machines are hard to find or are located deep inside an environment, so getting to them to determine the contents takes a lot of time. And to top it off, some locations like the Chryslus Building have 3 or more vending machines in certain cells. You're welcome to try to get 3 or more Quantums, but given the incredibly low probability (0.1 percent for 3 machines, 0.01 for 4 machines), this seems an exercise in futility. Ultimately, ~120 bottles (from vending machines) is a fair estimate of your net haul if you get approximately two bottles at every location with 2 or more Nuka-Cola vending machines and 1 bottle at locations with only 1 Nuka-Cola vending machine. This number should be obtainable even if you make a few careless mistakes (such as blundering into an outdoor cell early in your playthrough and then later realize it contained a Nuka-Cola vending machine).

With the Quantum Chemist perk added by the Broken Steel add-on, every 10 normal (not ice cold) Nuka-Colas that you have in your inventory automatically become one bottle of Quantum. Since Nuka-Cola respawns in several shops with this perk the Quantum count is raised from approximately 211 to an infinite amount. This perk is extremely useful if you have already used too many Nuka-Cola Quantums to complete The Nuka-Cola Challenge quest.

Notes[]

  • After completing The Nuka-Cola Challenge, if you return to Sierra with 1 Nuka-Cola Quantum, 1 flour and 1 vodka, she can make you a Mississippi Quantum pie. It grants you 20 points to your AP, -1 to your IN and +1 to your ST.
  • Ronald Laren describes the taste of Quantum as "Drinking a Nuka-Cola, then downing a fistful of sugar, and punching yourself in the head."
  • You can get addicted to Nuka-Cola Quantum, unlike regular Nuka-Cola. This is hinted at by some of Sierra Petrovita's dialogue. The addiction chance is 10%.
  • The Nuka-Cola Quantum in Desmond's panic room and the Quantum in the trapper's shack are both half-sized.
  • Nuka-Cola Quantum will never get "ice cold" by being stored in your pristine Nuka-Cola machine.
  • Both Ronald Laren and Sierra Petrovita mention that consumption of Nuka-Cola Quantum will cause one's urine to glow and if you complete The Nuka-Cola Challenge, Three Dog will also comment about these effects on Galaxy News Radio.
  • The Nuka-Cola plant terminal entries tell the story of the final months of the plant, including Quantum's advertising campaign, production, release and distribution. The entries list three locations where Quantum was to be test marketed and two of these three: Paradise Falls and Chaste Acres Dairy Farm, where the Old Olney shipment truck broke down, are the largest caches of Quantum in the game.
  • In the Point Lookout add-on, Nuka-Cola Quantums appear during the hallucination in the sacred bog. They are found either falling from the sky or rising from the swamp water. When the Lone Wanderer approaches them, they explode and make baby sounds.
  • For PC players running either on lower-end computers or those who have turned down effects due to FO3 crashing, the rendering of the blue glow of Nuka-Cola Quantum is not clear unless HDR is on. There are a few ways around this:
    • By looking at the label on the bottle; the regular Nuka-Cola bottle's label is red and its emblem is styled to look like that of a Coca-Cola bottle. The Quantum's label, on the other hand, is brown, although it takes close observation to tell the difference (see the comparison picture in the infobox).
    • Simply move the crosshairs over the bottle and see if the "Take" option reads "Take Nuka-Cola Quantum".
    • Nuka-Cola Quantum's bottle cap is red while regular Nuka-Cola's bottle cap is rusty.

Behind the scenes[]

  • During the 2008 E3 as a promotional item, people were given a real drinkable version of Nuka-Cola. It greatly resembles the 1950s look of the Coca-Cola brand bottles.
  • From 2015 to 2016, a real limited-production version of Nuka-Cola Quantum could be purchased online and in Target stores worldwide.[Non-game 1]
  • Its logos, bottle designs, market crash, and even its name are heavily based on The Coca-Cola Company.
  • The name of the Nuka-Cola creator, John-Caleb Bradberton, is an amalgamation of the inventors of Coca-Cola (John Pemberton) and Pepsi-Cola (Caleb Bradham).
  • Nuka-Cola Quantum's proposed slogan "Take the leap... enjoy a Quantum!" is a pun dealing with the scientific term "quantum leap", which refers to the phenomenon where an electron nearly instantaneously (within a few nanoseconds) leaps from one energy level (aka quantum state) to another.
  • Nuka-Cola Quantum may be a reference to the short lived Coca-Cola C2 which was advertised as having "half the carbohydrates, sugars and calories" of regular Coca-Cola, an almost opposite of Quantum's advertisement of "twice the calories, twice the carbohydrates, twice the caffeine and twice the taste" of regular Nuka-Cola.
  • Despite being under the jurisdiction of the PepsiCo company, Quantum's debatable safety concerns can be linked to Pepsi Blue. The dye was a cause for concern regarding allergic reactions in consumers- much like Quantum's sketchy effects on the body.
  • Strontium-90, the extra additive in Quantum, is in real life a nuisance element in fallout that is particularly problematic due to its similarity to calcium, leading it to concentrate in the teeth and bones.

So sit back and enjoy the ride as we take you through the Nuka-Cola World of Refreshment!
    Nuka-Cola began its journey in the year 2042 when our founder, John-Caleb Bradberton, was a budding chemist. He dreamt of a delicious soft drink that would provide energy, focus and 120% of the recommended daily value of sugar!
    It took almost two years to perfect the formula, but in late 2044, Mr. Bradberton was finally successful and Nuka-Cola was born! It quickly surpassed other, lesser beverages to become America's number-one favorite soft drink. Not one to rest on his laurels, Mr. Bradberton and his team of talented "Beverageers" continued to create new and exciting formulas.
    Out west, they enjoy regional favorites such as the classy Nuka-Cola Quartz and refreshingly patriotic Nuka-Cola Victory. Or, for those that prefer a timeless root-based beverage, they pick up a delicious Nuka-Cola Wild!
    While out here on the east coast, folks delight in the refreshment of an ice-cold Nuka-Grape, Nuka-Orange, or Nuka-Cherry. And be on the lookout for our special pre-release shipments of Nuka-Cola Quantum coming soon to your favorite grocer or restaurant!

    Sierra Petrovita: "Well, right before the bombs fell, the good folks at Nuka-Cola developed what they hoped was an improvement on the original formula. Calling it Nuka-Cola Quantum, it was said to have 'Twice the calories, twice the carbohydrates, twice the caffeine and twice the taste!'"

  20. The Lone Wanderer: "That stuff sounds absolutely revolting."
    Sierra Petrovita: "On the contrary! The secret ingredient was an eighteenth fruit flavor which added just a hint of pomegranate. Top that with a specially engineered isotope to boost the energy output and you have the perfect refresher for a hot summer day!"
    (Sierra Petrovita's dialogue)
  21. The Lone Wanderer: "So, what went wrong?"
    Sierra Petrovita: "Well, the flavor certainly wasn't the issue. The public was just split on the unique feature of the Quantum's appearance. You see, to make it stand out on store shelves and to give it that extra kick, the formula called for a mild isotope. The effect was a drink that not only boosted your energy, but also glowed with a bright blue light!"
    (Sierra Petrovita's dialogue)
  22. Lone Wanderer:"What do you know about the Nuka-Cola Bottling Facility?"
    Sierra Petrovita: "Well, the D.C. Facility was like their main factory just before the bombs fell. All the research they did was performed there. It was the only facility to ever produce Quantum. They were in a test market mode, and they would have expanded production if the drink caught on. Too bad they didn't, otherwise Quantum would be as plentiful as regular Nuka-Cola."
    (Sierra Petrovita's dialogue)
