Quantum Chemist

Template:Perk

 

Quantum Chemist is a Perk added to Fallout 3 with the Broken Steel add-on.

With this perk, every 10 Nuka-Colas you acquire are automatically converted into a Nuka-Cola Quantum. A notification in the top left of the screen will inform the player of the 10 Nuka-Cola being removed and the 1 Nuka-Cola Quantum being added. If you are trying to do the Nuka-Cola Challenge, it would take 300 Nuka-Colas to get the necessary 30 Nuka-Cola Quantums.

Notes

• As soon as you reach 10 Nuka-Colas in inventory, they are replaced by 1 Quantum. This may be detrimental if you primarily use Nuka-Colas to restore health, and can be avoided by ensuring you carry less, or carry stock of Ice Cold Nuka-Cola.
• This Perk allows the player to circumvent the hard limit of Nuka-Cola Quantums placed in the game (94 loose in the world, plus the possibility of finding up to 152 in vending machines). Since regular Nuka-Colas can be found restocked in merchant inventories, this perk allows for a potentially unlimited number of Quantums. This can be a great way to get enough Quantums for the Nuka-Cola Challenge quest, as these Quantums will work the same as if you found one before having this Perk.
• With this perk, gaining the 3rd Nuka Grenade schematic will result in receiving 3 grenades for each bottle of Quantum, equating to a "cost" of just over 3 bottles of Nuka-Cola per grenade.
• Bottles of Ice Cold Nuka-Cola are unaffected by this perk. There is a mod that will allow you to use Ice Cold Nuka-Colas to make Nuka-Cola Quantums.
• This perk requires a science skill of 70 to obtain, but this is not displayed on the level-up screen.

Bugs

• PC Sometimes, it will not show Science requirement while choosing from the list of available Perks.
• Xbox 360 The Science requirement is actually 66, although it is listed as 70.
