These people are without a doubt the best faction in Fallout 4. They have a great Red Rocket base and speak the coolest lingo in the Commonwealth. They seem to be inspired by the innumerable beach party surf/hotrod movies of the early ’60s. They live on a beach and would probably be working on Corvega hotrods all the time, but at some point they became obsessed with power armor. If you complete an insultingly simple quest and help them defend their Red Rocket compound against a Gunner attack, you can become one of the gang.
Advantages include but may not be limited to:
- cool base
- crazy cool cats and birds to hang with
- power armor parts for sale
- holotapes with inspiring Atom Cats beatnik poetry
- custom paint for power armor suits
- your character starts speaking awkwardly in wild hip surf/hotrod/West Side Story slang
- no matter what gender you are, everyone calls you “Jack”
I can’t imagine a better social life. If you haven’t found these cheerful hoodlums, their garage is located on a peninsula northeast of the Quincy Ruins. So join today and become a crazy cool cat or bird. Don’t be square. Be an Atom Cat, ya dig, daddy-o?
I joined them very early on. They don’t seem to have all that much to offer, but they are fun.
If they were really a full fledged faction, that would have been great. 🙂
Yar, I shouldn’t have called them a faction, though they sort of barely/technically qualify because they give you a quest and you can join them.
I wish I could use ballistic weave on the official outfit they gave me. It would be almost as good as the postman outfit I found (which does allow ballistic weave, but you can’t wear armor on top if it).
I think the fact that you can dress up as “The Postman” is pretty freaking funny. There had better be a DLC quest about restoring the United States as the lone ambassador of a non-existent former country.
