Nuka-Cola offers a fizzy delight for all ages that comes with buffs, quenches thirst, and gives you a cap just for opening it. With almost a dozen flavors that are frequently the subject of challenges, this is where to find all Nuka-Cola varieties in Fallout 76.
How to Find Nuka-Cola Flavors in Fallout 76
There are 11 different flavors of Nuka-Cola, including the original, found throughout Appalachia. If you’re looking for a specific variety, you can head to Nuka World or speak with Bubbles at the Whitespring Resort. You’ll be able to purchase what you’re looking for at either location, if they have it in stock. This is the most certain way to get a specific variety. I typically check out the booth at Nuka World before talking to Bubbles.
If you’re more of a gambler, you can use the Nuka-Cola Mystery Machine. For just 15 caps, you get a random bottle of the soda. It can be built in your C.A.M.P., or you can try other player’s bases if you don’t have the plan for it. I have one set up to help fulfill dailies that require me to get any type of Nuka-Cola.
In addition to the above methods, you’ll find soda bottles all over the wasteland. Nuka-Cola vending machines, coolers, and more can contain the thirst quencher. Places, such as Camden Park, have bottles on tables or counters. I pick up every single one I see since they offer various effects, including healing.
These methods often net you just the bottle or two of a particular type. For larger quantities, check out the spawn areas for the flavor you’re hunting.

Nuka-Cola Orange
Nuka Orange, the soda cut with arsenic, is hard to find outside of vendor locations. There’s only one place to go:
- Eta Psi House
Nuka-Cola Dark
Much like hard sodas exist in real life, Nuka-Cola Dark was their attempt at an alcoholic beverage. You can make your own boozy bubbly after obtaining the plan during the Tipsy Taste-Test daily. Otherwise, a bottle can be found:

- Spin the Wheel
- Tunnel of Love
Nuka-Cola Wild
Another rare variety, this root beer soda can only be found at:

Nuka-Grape
Drinking this grape soda will reduce any radiation you’ve taken, but can be hard to find.

- Graton Steel Underground
Quest-Specific Nuka Variants
There are two versions of Nuka-Cola you can obtain through quests. Afterwards, you’ll be able to craft them yourself.
Nuka-Cola Scorched, Nuka-Cola Vaccinated, Nuka-Cola My Blood’s In It
The recipe is obtained during the quest The New Arrivals. While all the same, there are three different names you can choose from. Once named, you can’t change it, but the only thing it impacts is the branding.
Nukashine
Wasted on Nukashine grants you the Fermentable Nukashine recipe, craftable at a Brewing Station. Reading any of the party posters found close to Vault-Tec University begins the quest. If you’re just looking for a bottle, there are a few places to go.
- Pi House
- Crimson Prospect
That’s where to find all flavors of Nuka-Cola across Appalachia in Fallout 76. For other resource locations, where to find cryptids, or how to kill a Yao Guai, check out our guide vault.
