Cola Nut & All Nuka Cola - Here's Why You Want It - Fallout 76

[@FoxyRaven-TV]

If you eat 5 or 6 Nuks Cola Candy right after each other you AP will get stuck at max AP for like 10sec, just so you know you can get max AP no matter what you do for a period of time by eating 5 to 6 in a row 👌 Remember guys and girls you can buy all of the nuka cola variants down at nuka cola on tour and then server jump and buy them all again, there is a cool down in like 1 min from each server jump for all the nuka cola variants to restock in the vending machine.

[@johnnyhilz7385]

Not all variants. Can’t get cranberry.

[@FoxyRaven-TV]

@@johnnyhilz7385 Thanks for the info 👌 i totally forgot about that 😊

[@ClyFaker]

I've found that just slamming three of the candies gives me enough AP over time to perma-sprint for a while. It's a great alternative to the coffee machine for those that missed it.

[@botodd4679]

I love the Nuka Cola Candy. It's my go to food source. It's free, it provides all of the benefits you mentioned and more. Just don't eat the Mystery candy.

[@Poke-ladd]

Now I want to make a nuka-cola addict build, maybe with all the event weapons

[@derBorB]

had the same idea. a longtime chem user experienced the fun of nuka world and becomes addicted to nuka cola and alcohol

[@DE0DAT1989]

Love it. Always blows me away at how much people miss stuff like this, myself included. Thanks for constantly shedding light on the weird things like this!

[@angelrevelations]

I 100% agree with this. Been using this perk with the alcohol perks for a long time. It's a great alternative to heal and bonus stats.

[@jeremiahkivi4256]

Absolutely amazing. I swapped out 2 ranks of Ghoulish for the 2 ranks of Cola Nut. With Nuka Cherry, I effectively have short term bursts of infinite AP, which is absolutely hilarious with my dramatically increased speed from mutations and food and then my jet pack. If Dark wasn't only a 3 minute buff, I'd probably run Party Boy too. I experimented with Party Boy in the past since I use tons of alcohol, but typically not worth it except in rare cases. However Nuka Cranberry XP buff is 30 min, which stacks nicely with Canned Meat Stew (I'm Carnivore. I imagine Cranberry Relish is about the same for Herbivores. But they don't get our Pepperoni Rolls 😜). Recently made a camp down by a fissure site, so now I have a constant stream of Scorchbeast meats too. Scorchbeast Mixed Stew gives +2.5 to all stats with my mutations, and each of the organs give +8 in one stat (also because of mutations and perks). So my guy now on top of being a Chem Fiend and alcoholic, has a massive cola habit.

[@nate5285]

Used this since launch. I would put this perk in every fallout game

[@ericdeutsch6079]

I love running cola nut now. Nuka twist is great and the mystery machine gives it frequently. Also the mixers at Nuka world generally have them making them easy to stock pile😁

[@Fynn_Merlyn]

Jus wanted to say i made a character and i call him the NCR Nuka-cider. (Nuka cola raider) I use the union power armor 3 pieces life saving 2 unyielding( the nuka cola classic skin) i use 3 weapons, a bloodied nuka quantom thirst zapper, the nuka launcher, and i use an explosive quad ap reduce fixer. Key perks: Last laugh Mysterious saviour Revinant E.M.T. Injector Blood sacrifice Demo expert Grenader The perks that deal with reviving a player work for you too and with life saving at 3 pieces of armor you will revive almost every time, giving you insane buffs for both you and your team sometimes. I just hold my nuka grenade, blow up, blow up a second time from last laugh and revive with crazy ap regen and damage increase for the nuka launcher or fixer. And if things get rly scary i sometimes just whip out the quantom thirst zapper and it can do 2500 damage criticals. In all honesty i havent really used cola nut on it even though i have alot of cola, i feel like it runs best mainly doing xp runs with cranberry. Also my character is from the nuka cola vault, where they tested a whole bunch of ingredients and new colas they hadnt used, making me crave it and raising me on it. I killed them all and ran to the place my granpa sang of, the shanandoa river in the hills of west virginia. As i kept going i realised my body needed nuka cola to survive and nuka world on tour still existed in my destination.

[@Tundraviper41]

I like to take both with cola nut perk with Nuka Cranberry and the stat buff from Leo at the same time to get a stackable xp boost that can be combined with other items like Canned Meat Stew which further increases XP boost. Good for endgame boss fights where more enemies spawn and the XP from the boss itself.

[@ClyFaker]

Out of all of the Nukas, the one I use the least has to be Quantum. I much prefer AP over time in most cases since I can keep my AP up while using it. In the case of the Quantum, if you don't use it you lose it. Also, Cola Nut makes Nukas a viable alternative to canned coffee for everyone that missed the Slocum's Joe coffee machine. Don't forget to claim your Quantum Nuka-Tron on the scoreboard, or get a base model for bullion at Foundation. The candy machines on this scoreboard are also a viable option since they give 60 AP over time, even without Cola Nut.

[@seendon5394]

Is the Quantun Nuka collector as good as the Nuka-Cola ollectpr you get from Foundation for gold bullion? I just want to make sure I don’t waste the gold getting something that provides the exact same result when I got it for free on the scoreboard

[@ClyFaker]

@@seendon5394 I've been told that the loot pools are slightly different. The Quantum collectron can get Nuka-Twists, while the other one can't. However, other sodas like the orange and grape are going to be less common.

[@donnellcrenshaw6391]

Thank you as always for the educational information that I am too lazy to embark on myself it is greatly appreciated. I'm not so certain that I will make permanent changes to my build now being level 750 however I may acquire the perk and experimental around during daily ops or some other events because, it sounds like the buffs last long enough for those and that could definitely be helpful nothing wrong with having additional buffs during those events.

[@obfuscion]

One thing to note - Leo occasionally sells the recipe for Nuka-Cola Dark.

[@DuckDecoy13]

By the way a one who has the nuka-cola quantum candy machine be careful the candy is being glitchy on PS4 like it's becoming different stacks and then doing some sort of glitch out thing by leaving behind a non-existent product that will crash the game if try to consume

[@ClyFaker]

It's glitchy across all platforms (I'm on PC). It's possible to force them to stack by either dropping them or putting them into a container, but you have to be careful not to do it too fast since the crash glitch you're talking about can still happen. I usually try to move my largest stack first, and if that starts pulling from a different stack I'll switch to that one. Once everything is dropped it usually ends up in a single stack that won't crash you when you eat it.

[@DuckDecoy13]

@@ClyFaker dude I've already done it and you are correct it does correct the candy once dropped into the box or a loop bag

[@gc4599]

Nuka Colas are super cool but they deserve more love. First thing, we should be able to drink them with the rapid cure button. But they also need more unique effects and should be involved in more recipes

[@Barlofontain]

I run a full health build and haven't used a Radaway for months, in fact I don't even carry them Nuka Grape all day long This also helps with my carry weight as I have the Green Grocer's perk on my backpack

[@Draven76MDJ]

I used to use Cola Nut when I was low level and finding stimpaks "was" rare. Now having everything in abundance, I have long shelved it in favor of Fireproof. But, now I might just start using it again, especially with Twist available.

[@djwak59]

As always, thanks for the tips Turtle ! I usually only drink any of the colas only to lighten my carry load or sell to vendors. Never really thought about the benefits of actually using them myself. Thanks for posting.

[@robinblackmoor8732]

I was checking yesterday and I think I have every mutation. I did not know about Nuka Grape. that is a great tip. Thanks Turtle.

Nuka-Grape is my go to on Radiation Rumble collecting ore. Been using it since they brought that event to the game.

[@HessuVee]

Yeah, using Cola Nut constantly now. Since it works for both the drinks and the candy, you can just fill your thirst and hunger meters with soda and sweets and get extra buffs while at it. Why not?

[@riklaunim]

All those nuka cols would need something like Elgato stream deck to bind each nuka cola to matching icon on the deck so that so it's quick to use the desired one.

If you add happy go lucky to tour kit, Nuka Dark adds like 18 Luck

[@AngryTurtle]

18? 🤔

[@Mercer0516]

@@AngryTurtle it's like a feedback loop. Party Boy triples the effect of old world alcohol (Nuka Dark), Happy-go-lucky adds 3 luck when drunk, Cola Nut triples the Effect of all Cola Products. So 3 Luck from the alcohol side becomes 9, but also 9 again from the Cola Side. Not sure if it's intended, but at 15 base Luck, I go to 23 when I pop a Nuka Dark with all three perks equipped.

[@AngryTurtle]

@@Mercer0516 isn't nuka dark endurance and strength buff?

If I equip cola nut, then drink something like twist, then unequip cola nut, do I retain the improved buff, or does it get changed to a regular buff? 2.If I drink orange, and then after 7 min drink another one, I get 150 rad resist, will now I keep 150 rad resist for those new 8 minutes, or will it go down back to 75 after 1 minute, since the original orange will have been drunk 8 minutes ago by then?

[@donnyharris2231]

I’ve been running nuka perks for two years.

[@theghosty99]

I was wondering if maybe the reason Nuka-Twist only gave you two buffs was that the third one was STR? And you already had a buff on that from Nuka Dark going. Maybe they don't force the lower buff to override the bigger one? Idk

So can grape replace stimpaks and radaway?will ten nuka cola grape weigh less then 5 stimpaks and five radaways. And lastly can you use it to replace the starched gene perk card?

[@LcInfantrySr]

Load up the game and figure it out yourself clown

[@ClyFaker]

A grape weighs 1 without any perks, while a stimpak weighs 0.8 and a RadAway weighs 0.3. However, you can drink a grape even when you are at full health, but you cannot use a stimpak while at full health. I'm a melee build, and I like to pre-heal with a grape or orange when charging certain enemies, since the HP over time can offset the damage from things like super mutant firestarters when I'm closing the distance. I won't ever dump Starched Genes though, since I don't want to get any more mutations from the environment, nor do I want to lose mine when I hop in a rad shower.

[@BoycottNCSoft]

[@inky7714]

I'm only halfway through the video, so sorry if Turtle mentioned it, but, the stat buffs from Twist and Candy override any food buffs you have. Obviously let me know if I'm wrong? I did testing couple weeks after the Nuka patch came out. It sucks because, when they first came out, the buffs from Twist and Candy DIDN'T override your food buffs, but a hot patch Beth did a couple weeks later "nerfed" them so they do override.😔

They're really glitchy when it comes to stacking. Not only do they not always stack properly, but when you eat or drop one it might call for a candy from a stack other than the one you clicked. If that happens and the stack it tries to pull from is empty, your game will crash.

[@trock729]

You do a great job selling them, but the Nuka colas (and any related perks) are useless and a complete waste of time. They all do (basically) the same thing, and due to the very minor effects amd effect times, none of them will change your gaming experience.

[@siruxiaa]

PVP’ers and some build require nuka-colas. I run a cold-shoulder full health build with Assasin’s/AP refresh/75HtD and I don’t use stim pack.
