Description

Soda is the cheapest and most accessible healing item in GTA VI, available from vending machines on practically every street corner in Vice City. A quick can of eCola or Sprunk provides a small health boost that's perfect for topping off after minor scrapes. It's the healing item you grab without thinking - pocket change for a few hit points.

Design

Recognizable aluminum soda cans in brand-specific liveries - eCola in red, Sprunk in green, and Orang-O-Tang in orange. Vending machines display the cans behind glass panels, and the character cracks the tab open with a satisfying pop animation before taking a swig.

Performance

Soda restores approximately 10-15% of maximum health with the fastest consumption animation of any healing item. The instant-access nature of vending machines means you can heal on the fly without entering a store or opening a menu. The tiny health restore limits its usefulness during serious combat but makes it perfect for post-brawl recovery.

Customization

N/A - brand variety (eCola, Sprunk, Orang-O-Tang) serves as the selection.

Locations

Vending machines are scattered across virtually every public area in Leonida - office building lobbies, hospital waiting rooms, gas stations, strip mall sidewalks, subway stations, and gym entrances. Also sold at convenience stores and fast food counters.

Trivia

  • Sprunk and eCola have been rival in-game soda brands since GTA San Andreas, and their advertising war continues across Leonida's billboards.
  • Vending machine interactions were first introduced in GTA V - GTA VI adds new animations and more machine locations.
  • Shooting a vending machine may cause it to dispense free cans, though this also attracts attention from nearby NPCs.
  • eCola's slogan in GTA VI is rumored to be 'Taste the Leonida Lifestyle' - visible on Vice Beach billboard ads.
