Nuka-Cola vending machine is a world object in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background[]
The Nuka-Cola Corporation aggressively marketed their flagship product ever since its introduction in 2044. Low-maintenance vending machines were a crucial part of the strategy, and the corporation's generous investment eventually led to a vending machine on almost every street in the United States by 2067, available in a broad variety of types.[1][2]
A large, imposing machine with a built-in monochrome monitor at the top for playing advertisements. The machine has been modified from the previous model to allow new bottles to slide into the trays, rather than being deposited mechanically and risking injury. As with the previous model, it's coin-operated with coin-changing functionality.[3]
Characteristics[]
These new model vending machines are special respawning containers that contain Nuka-Cola, bottle caps, or Nuka-Cola Quantum. The contents are randomized the first time a player enters a cell containing the vending machine, at which point the wave form collapses and the vending machine's contents are defined for the rest of the game using that character. Saving before entering new areas allows for re-rolling the contents of the vending machine to generate the desired contents.
Unlike Fallout 3, Nuka-Cola Quantum will not spawn in the machines, with the notable exception of one in Lonesome Road.
Locations[]
There are 43 of them in the base game.

The wonder drink soon drew a dedicated following which prompted the Nuka-Cola Corporation to release many promotional items like these. By 2067, a Nuka-Cola machine such as this rare pristine model could be found on almost every street in America. Even in today's crazy world, Nuka-Cola is still the number one choice of refreshment among Armageddon's survivors."
