Nuka Cocktail
A Wasteland version of the infamous Molotov Cocktail, invented by the Russian General Von Molotov during the second world war.
empty nuka-cola bottle
1/3 gasoline
1/3 Styrofoam
1/3 petroleum
piece of cloth
Much used by raiders, a glass bottle filled with gasoline, stuffed with a soaked rag, to be thrown at enemies. Slightly dangerous, since it can be dropped or explode in your hand.
The glass will shatter in a fiery explosion, and the burning Styrofoam will stick to your body.
A more dangerous version can be made from Nuka-Cola Quantum bottles, that cause radiation burns to it’s victim.
The normal version requires a science check at difficulty 4 to build.
The Quantum version requires a science check at difficulty 6 to build.
range: thrown
Damage: 3d6 straight line template.
1 in 6 six changes for victims to be caught on fire. (see fire in the hazard section of the SW explorers edition.)
Vehicles
Unless you are a hermitt, dug into a crater, and set in her ways, you will want to get around the wasteland. Most gasoline has long since evaporated in the tanks, and changed into a useless dark black sludge, clogging up the rusted fuel sprayers. Before the war there where some development in hydro powered and nuclear powered engines, and sometimes you can find a working vehicle that runs on Energy Cells. Expensive but worthwhile. The engines are build into the bodies of state of the art ’50ies huge cadillacs.
But the most wastelanders get around on muscle powered vehicles. Pony and dog carts, bikes, and ofcourse walking.
Slavers sometimes use handbuilt vehicles creaking on wooden wheels, pulled by their unfortunate victims.
[Vertibird]
A invention by the US army, created to conquer the long distances of the Canadian Artic, without long supply lines. This is a nuclear powered, vertically take-off, helicopter, nearly fully self supporting. Big enough to hold up to 12 soldiers and all their equipment. Some are left over, and in the hands of The Brotherhood of steel unfortunatly they are unreliable, and prone to break down in midair. Wasteland technician, at this stage, have barely enough knowledge to keep them flying, but not in a safe way.
