Atomic Cocktail is an aid item in Fallout: New Vegas.
Gameplay[edit]
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.
