In addition to housing a rogue supercomputer and Fallout 76’s Nuclear Winter battle royale mode, Vault 51 is also home to a handful of Nuka-Cola machines left relatively unscathed by the atomic ravages of the Great War.

Fallout 76
Bethesda has offered us glimpses of Fallout 76’s upcoming player-operated vending machines in the past, but this new screenshot confirms that a miniature Nuka-Cola machine is definitely part of the setup. Here’s a closer look…
Even better, it’s available in multiple colors!
Finally, Bethesda heard I liked vending machines, so they slapped an image of a vending machine on this vending machine. Anyway, the instructions posted on the new legendary exchange machine from Fallout 76 include this Nuka-Cola machine sticker…
Fallout 76
Fallout 76 adds a new twist to an old favorite with its new Wasted on Nukashine side quest: a Nuka-Cola vending machine that opens up to reveal the entrance to a speakeasy!
Fallout 76
The Fallout 76 B.E.T.A. is underway, and I grabbed this screenshot while scouring the campus of Vault-Tec University. For those keeping score at home, it’s the same model previously used in Fallout 4.
As always, folks can’t get enough of that great Nuka-Cola taste…

Fallout 4
Hancock poses in front of a Nuka-Cola vending machine — and a bonus milk vending machine — in Fallout 4! Unfortunately, the machine pictured above has a busted video display. You’ll need to travel to Nuka-World, the Nuka-Cola amusement park, if you want to see one in full working order.
While you’re visiting Nuka-World, you’ll want to steer clear of the Nukatrons — Nuka-Cola vending machines converted into security robots!
Finally, allow me to introduce Mr. Frothy, a vending machine repurposed into a floating, death-dealing robot! Before the war, Mr. Frothy sprayed refreshing blasts of Nuka-Cola into the faces of visitors to Nuka-World.
