As you explore Appalachia, you'll discover various flavors of NukaCola. Most of them are soda with unique properties and flavors ranging from Orange to Quantum, which, on top of glowing with a brilliant blue hue, provides a nice boost to your Rads.

But we're here today searching for NukaCola Dark, NukaCola Corporation's first alcoholic drink with its pitch-black bottle and liquid. It's probably not the most thirst-quenching NukaCola in Appalachia, but it's one of the most entertaining.

Where to Get NukaCola Dark

If you're already a late-game player, you'll likely acquire NukaCola Dark via crafting as it's relatively inexpensive once you acquire the Recipe.

But more on crafting NukaCola Dark shortly. For now, let's focus on where you can loot or buy a bottle. It's enough to satisfy a daily or weekly challenge.

Locations to Buy NukaCola Dark

• The Whitespring Resort: Sold by Bubbles, the robotic drinks vendor, on the main floor. She's in a side room beside the Common Room.
• Nuka-World on Tour: Available from the drink vending machine.

Both locations rely on you having the Caps to spare, of course.

Locations to Loot NukaCola Dark

• Eta Psi House on Fraternity Row: Routinely spawns bottles.
• The bar at Showman's Pier: Also spawns bottles regularly.

You may need to swap servers if you come up empty at both locations.

How to Craft NukaCola Dark

First and foremost, if you wish to craft NukaCola Dark, you must track down the Recipe. There's a slim chance one drops upon finishing the Tipsy Taste-Test Daily at The Nukashine. It's just over 6 percent.

Alternatively, you can buy a recipe from Leo Petrov, a former NukaCola Corporation employee who clearly doesn't respect any NDA he might have signed. He'll join your CAMP as an ally after purchasing his Plan from Samuel in Foundation in exchange for Gold Bullion.

Once you have a Recipe NukaCola Dark, visit a Brewing Station and combine the following ingredients:

• 3x Boiled Water
• 2x NukaCola
• 3x Snaptail Reed
• 5x Wood

NukaCola Dark Stats

• Perception: +1
• Strength: +1
• Endurance: +1
• Water: +15%
• Alcohol Addiction: +5%

• Value: 75 Caps

You likely won't chug a bottle of NukaCola Dark to satiate thirst or boost your SPECIAL stats significantly for a skill check. More often than not, this unique beverage is necessary to satisfy a daily or weekly challenge.

And you know when it's been a rough one.
