Vac’s Drinks: Quench Your Thirst in Project Zomboid

When the zombie apocalypse hits, staying hydrated is just as crucial as staying armed. This mod introduces a variety of popular sodas and beers, seamlessly integrated into the world of Project Zomboid.

A Thirst for Variety

Vac’s Drinks populates the world with a wide selection of well-known brands, ensuring that you can find something to suit your survivor’s palate. Whether you’re craving the classic taste of Coca-Cola, the refreshing fizz of Sprite, or a hearty Budweiser after a long day of scavenging, this mod has you covered. These new drinks spawn naturally alongside existing loot, maintaining the game’s established balance while offering a significant upgrade in beverage variety.
