Chance to Spawn Locations
Nuka-Cola Cranberries found in the open world have a 50% chance to spawn. They are player-cell activated and follow per-server spawn rules. If you’re unfamiliar with how that works, please read my spawn guide here.
Ash Heap Region
Hornwright Estate
External
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the spawn-in location, turn and face south. Run forward until you reach a road. Turn east and walk forward until you see a house on your right. Head over to the house and look around until you find the greenhouse. Inside the greenhouse, on the left-hand side near the door, the Nuka-Cola Cranberry is on the bottom shelf of the metal table next to three bags of cement.
Vault 63
Internal
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the spawn-in location, face south and enter the vault. Continue walking south and stop at the top of the stairs. Look up at the ceiling and slowly continue moving south until you see a hole in the ceiling. Turn east, still looking up, and walk forward a few steps until you see a second, larger hole in the ceiling. Jump up through that second hole to reach the second floor.
Face northwest — the Nuka-Cola Cranberry will be on top of the filing cabinet closest to the wall on the right.
The Sludge Works
External
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the fast travel point, face east and run forward. Enter through the main entrance and turn right. Follow the path around until you reach the red BBQ. Turn south and jump up onto the platform. Continue straight and go up the stairs. Follow the platform around— the Nuka Cranberry is inside the fridge on your left.
Belching Betty
Internal
Nuka Cranberry x1
From the spawn-in location, run up the hill and enter the Belching Betty mine. Follow the train tracks until you reach the metal wire wall. Turn right and use the terminal on the wall to open the door.
Face north and enter through the now-open door on your left. Follow the path down until you reach another set of train tracks.
Face north again and walk forward until you see a building on your left.
Enter the first building via the stairs and walk straight ahead. Between the two buildings, there’s a set of stairs going up.
Follow those stairs to the second floor and turn left. Enter the building, then turn left again. The Nuka Cranberry will spawn on the second black console.
Forest Region
Kanawha Nuka-Cola Plant
Interior
You will need lockpick perk cards for a Level 3 Lock and a jetpack to access these spawns.
There are two Firecap spawns behind the second bus stop.
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the spawn-in location, face north and follow the road until you reach the bus stops on the right-hand side. Between the two bus stops is a path — turn and follow it, stopping at the top of the stairs. Turn southeast and run over to the loading dock, then stand on top of the blue truck.
Face south, and you’ll see a set of stairs at the back of the loading dock. Run over and go up the stairs. Continue following the stairs up — there’s only one way to go — until you reach the roof.
At the top, turn east and you’ll see another set of stairs ahead. Go up those stairs and head toward the cream and orange trailer. Next to the trailer on the left is a black roof access door. Unlock the door and enter the Kanawha Nuka-Cola Plant.
Once inside, turn south and walk forward until you reach the wall. Then face north and look down — the Nuka-Cola Cranberry will be on the ground at your feet next to the white console.
Interior
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the spawn point above, turn northwest, walk over to the door, and drop down to the ground. Face southeast and you’ll see a doorway next to the conveyor belt. Walk through the door and follow the corridor to the end.
Face east and look up — on your left, you’ll see a set of stairs leading up to a platform. Follow the stairs to the top and stop in the doorway. Turn left and follow the path around, walking past the Nuka-Cola machine. Stop at the third door on your left.
Open the door and enter the room. Once inside, look to the far right corner — there’s another door. Head over to it; you’ll need a Level 1 Lockpick to unlock it. Once opened, the Nuka-Cola Cranberry will be on the left metal shelf in the middle of the room, next to a Nuka-Cola Quantum and some boiled water.
The Kill Box
External
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the spawn-in location, face east and run toward the building. Staying on the left-hand side, use the green canvas and rubble to climb and jump up to the balcony in front of you.
Follow the balcony around until you reach the large hole in the wall at the corner of the building. Enter the room through the hole and face south, walking toward the brown mattresses on the ground. At the mattresses, turn and face north — you’ll see the Nuka-Cola Cranberry on the wooden crates to your right.
Point Pleasant
External
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the fast travel point, follow the road straight and cross the bridge until you reach a ute/pickup truck with sandbags in the back.

The Nuka Cranberry will spawn inside the Nuka-Cola machine on the left.
External
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the bus stop, face north and follow the road until you see a tree trunk ramp leading up to the building on your left.
Use the ramp to climb onto the roof of the building.
Face north again and jump or jetpack over to the next building.
Continue forward and follow the path along the roof.
Cross the bridge and stop when you reach the second wooden railing on your left. Face north and look down — the Nuka Cranberry will spawn beneath the platform you’re standing on.

New Appalachian Central Trainyard
External
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the spawn-in location, run forward, veer slightly right, and continue past the buildings on your left until you reach the front of the brick building. Stop at the red Nuka-Cola machine and turn so your back is facing it.
Run straight ahead, jump over the stone wall, and continue up the hill. Stop at the pile of rocks on your right — you’ll see a blue lunch pail and an NPC nearby. The Nuka-Cola Cranberry will spawn on the rock next to the blue lunch pail.
External
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the blue lunch pail, face west and run forward. Continue heading west, jumping over buildings and trains, and carriages until you reach the bottom of the cliff on the other side of the building. At the base of the cliff, turn southwest and follow the road uphill until you reach the hunter’s camp.
There is a silt bean plant on the right-hand side of the tent, along with some aster. The Nuka-Cola Cranberry is inside the tent on the green table.
The Whitespring Station

South Mountain Lookout
External

From the spawn-in location, turn and face east. Run forward and jump down the cliffs until you reach the very bottom. At the base, turn and face southeast — you’ll see a tall metal tower in front of you. Run over to the tower; the Nuka-Cola Cranberry will spawn underneath it, on the rock next to the orange explosives box.
Spruce Knob Channels
External
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the spawn-in location, turn east and run forward through the water until you reach a cabin with an NPC. The Nuka-Cola Cranberry will spawn inside the cabin, on the bench near the front door.
Bastion Park
External
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the spawn-in location, face south — you’ll see a large metal power pylon on your right. Run over to the pylon and stop in the middle. Face south again, and you should see two yellow dots on your HUD. Run toward the yellow dots and stop when you reach the hunter’s camp. The Nuka-Cola Cranberry will spawn on a wooden crate next to the green tent on the left.
Monongah Power Substation MZ-03
External

From the spawn-in location, turn and face east. Follow the broken road east until you reach the end. At the T-junction, continue straight until you reach the bottom of the cliff. Turn right and follow the base of the cliff — the Nuka-Cola Cranberry will be on the rock above the NPC.
Scenic Overlook
External
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the spawn-in location, face west and run forward until you reach the right-hand side platform with the two picnic tables. Stand on the grey chair between the tables and face north-northeast. Run forward until you see some cabins on your left. Turn left and head toward the cabins.
Enter the first cabin on the left — the Nuka-Cola Cranberry will spawn in the crate on the floor near the box of Sugar Bombs and other Nuka-Cola bottles.
Dent & Sons Construction
External
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the spawn-in location, turn north and run straight until you reach the base of the cliff face. Turn right and follow along the bottom of the cliff. After a short distance, you’ll find a way up.
Turn left and walk along the top of the cliff face. You’ll pass two random spawn encounter points — keep going, it’s a long walk. Continue along the edge of the cliff until you see a yellow dot on your HUD. Follow the dot until you reach the NPC.
From there, turn and face northwest and run to the top of the hill. At the top, face southwest and walk forward. Keep going until you see another yellow dot on your HUD. Head toward it — you’ll find an NPC next to a pile of rocks. The Nuka-Cola Cranberry will spawn on the rocks next to a blue lunch pail.
I prefer not to use NPCs as landmarks since their deaths can cause the yellow dot on your HUD to disappear. Unfortunately, for this location, there aren’t any other reliable landmarks.
The Mire
Moth-Home
External
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the spawn-in location, run straight, veer slightly right, and enter through the rock doorway. Turn southeast and run forward, jumping up until you’re standing on the edge of the fence. Turn northeast and walk forward — the Nuka Cranberry should be in front of you on the bureau.
Cranberry Bog
Watoga Underground
You can only access this location if you have started Beckett's questline Thicker Than Water.
Internal
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the spawn-in location, run straight ahead and enter the doors to the Watoga Underground.
Face south and head down the first escalator, then turn right. Follow the path around and down the second set of escalators. At the bottom, turn left and continue to the end of the hallway.
Turn right and go through the white double doors. Stop in the doorway and look north—you’ll see a brown metal door directly ahead. Cross the room and open that door.
Inside, check the white metal counter along the western wall. That’s where the Nuka-Cola Cranberry can spawn.
Internal
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the previous Nuka-Cola Cranberry spawn location, exit the room.
Turn west and follow the path around. When you reach the blue car, turn left, open the double doors, and turn right.
Walk forward and either take the stairs or jump down into the lower level. Face east and walk to the end of the room.
Turn right, go through the double doors, head down the stairs, and follow the platform to the end. Turn right again and walk toward the terminal and consoles in the center of the room.
Stand at the terminal and face east. Walk forward through the double doors and head over to the next set of terminals. Use the terminal, select "Garage Door Control", then "Open Door".
Turn to the orange track on your right and follow it north.
At the red car, turn left and go through the short tunnel to reach the other set of tracks. Keep heading north and go down the stairs at the end.
Eliminate the Blood Eagles and robots. Face north and jump onto the pipes. Take the stairs up to your right and open the blue double doors.
Kill more Blood Eagles and robots, then head to the open garage door in the northwest corner. Walk through and continue north until you hit a wall. Clear out more enemies, then look for the northwest corner of the room.
Find the doorway marked "Repair Bays M–R" and go through. Stop at the end of the red ute (pickup truck).
Use the nearby door on your right to loop around and stand in front of the red ute.
Continue west and enter the blue metal office on your right. Unlock the level 0 terminal and select "Remote Door Control", then "Open Door".
Now head across to the opposite blue metal office (to the south) and go through the newly opened door behind the desk.
Follow the tunnel around, head up the stairs, and continue along the shelves. The Nuka-Cola Cranberry will spawn on the second-last rack near the end.
Internal
Nuka Cola Cranberry x1
From the previous spawn location, face west and follow the room to the end. Head down the stairs.
Face north and exit through the blue metal office into the main corridor. Face west, run forward, and drop down to the lower level.
Turn to face north—you’ll see a doorway between a red car and a light blue car. Walk through it and turn west. Follow the path to the end and go up onto the platform on your left. Enter the doorway marked Silo 4.
Follow the only available path around until you reach the center of the car storage silo. Walk around the circular room until you find the stairs, then climb them all the way to the top.
At the top, face south and walk to the dead end. On your left will be a blue door—open and enter it.
Continue up the next path until you reach another blue door. Go through, follow the path around, and open the brown double doors on the western wall.
You may need to clear enemies in the room first. Then, return to the doorway and face west. Walk straight forward, past both escalators, and continue until you reach the canvas and metal spikes at the far end of the room (on the ground floor).
Face north—you should be standing in a doorway. The Nuka-Cola Cranberry will spawn on the bench in front of you, next to the pillar on the counter.
