Atomic cocktail is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics[]

The world model of an atomic cocktail is a novelty drink mixer shaped like a rocket ship, with a black logo and text on one side with the words "atomic cocktail" surrounding an atom. When consumed, the Courier becomes more resistant to fire and energy weapon damage. Sleep is greatly reduced, while Dehydration and Radiation are increased.

The strength of atomic cocktail effects are determined by the Survival skill and can be triple the listed effects at skill level 100.

Notes[]

  • Prior to patch 1.2.0.31x, atomic cocktails required an additional Nuka-Cola Victory, vodka, and a bottle of wine to craft.
  • The hotkey icon for this item is of food rather than a drink.
  • Despite being an alcoholic beverage, it doesn't have the risk of alcohol addiction or an Intelligence penalty.

Behind the scenes[]

The atomic cocktail was an alcoholic drink served on the Strip during nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s in Las Vegas' Sky Room, where tourists could view mushroom clouds form at Nevada proving grounds from a distance. This was a considerable tourist draw from 1951-1963 when Las Vegas was also known as "Atomic City."
