Nuka Chemist is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.

EffectsEdit

You have unraveled some of the greatest mysteries of pre-War masters: formula for developing special Nuka-Colas! This perk unlocks special Nuka-Cola recipes at the workbench.

• Nuka-Cola Victory (requires 3 Nuka-Cola, produces 1 Nuka-Cola Victory)
• Nuka-Cola Quartz (requires 3 Nuka-Cola, produces 1 Nuka-Cola Quartz)
• Ice cold Nuka-Cola (requires 3 Nuka-Cola, produces 2 ice cold Nuka-Cola)

Notably, these are all items that are finite or even rare in the normal game (even ice cold Nuka-Cola, which was easily replenishable in Fallout 3).

NotesEdit

• This perk fills a similar role to the Quantum Chemist perk from the Fallout 3 add-on Broken Steel. It provides a means for obtaining the rarer varieties of Nuka-Cola. Functionally, Quantum Chemist operated as an automatic script, whereas Nuka Chemist opens up new recipes. The two perks share the same icon.
• Synergizes well with Mad Bomber, since you can craft the rather rare Nuka-Cola Quartz that, in turn, can be used to craft the very powerful Nuka-grenade.
• This perk's effectiveness is increased with the Honest Hearts expansion pack, which grants the player the Homebrewed Nuka-Cola recipe, allowing them to craft Nuka-Cola at campfires. This provides an easy source for the beverage, as they are somewhat uncommon in the Mojave wasteland compared to the Capital wasteland.
