One successful form of marketing which continued despite these problems was the Vim! Ambassador program, where salespeople in fully functional T-51 power armor painted in Vim! livery would go out among the public. Two sets of such armor are available: one in Vim! Paint at the Vim! Pop factory next to the terminal where the paint schemes can be downloaded, and another in Vim! Refresh Paint in a truck along the coastal road north of the National Park Visitor's Center.
Vim had several varieties: Vim, Vim Refresh, Vim Quartz, and Vim Captain's Blend.
Characteristics[]
Vim is brown in color and bears the company's trademark red, white and black logo. Other varieties have different appearances.
In terms of restorative properties, basic Vim is the weakest of the four known flavors, yet still better than a bottle of regular Nuka Cola. It restores 50% more health with the added benefit of not subjecting the consumer to any additional radiation poisoning, thus making it useful especially during the early game stages. However, its usefulness is somewhat mitigated by only being available on the Island; a location the Sole Survivor probably will not visit for quite some time.
Crafting[]
Provided the recipe has previously been downloaded from the research terminal inside the laboratory on the roof of the Vim! Pop factory, Vim can be crafted from the following ingredients at any cooking station:
Fourteen Vim bottles can be found throughout the Vim! Pop factory.
One can be found in the small warehouse in front of Eagle's Cove tannery along with various empty bottles.
Three bottles of Vim can be found in Beaver Creek Lanes
Crafted at any cooking station
Notes[]
Vim is apparently modeled on Moxie, a regionally popular soft drink that is the official soft drink of Maine. The word "moxie" has since entered North American English as a word meaning verve or daring, similar in meaning to "vim", based on the advertising for the soft drink in the 1930s.
Moxie was originally marketed as a health tonic, which could account for Vim's greater benefits relative to Nuka-Cola products.
Like Moxie, Vim is probably slightly bitter, and less sweet than other sodas.
All flavors of Vim can be turned into their ice cold variants by putting them in Buddy and waiting at least 12 in-game hours.
Curiously, no type of Vim confers any radiation to the consumer despite having been exposed to the Island's heavily irradiated environment for more than two centuries.
