What is Atlantic City and what are the factions that control it?

Atlantic City is a coastal gambling town that was spared from the worst of the nuclear devastation, thanks to its lack of military or strategic value. However, that does not mean that it is a peaceful and safe place. On the contrary, Atlantic City is a hotbed of conflict and intrigue, where three major factions vie for control: the Municipal Government, the Family, and the Showmen.

The Municipal Government is the official authority of Atlantic City, led by Mayor Frank Sinatra Jr. They claim to uphold the law and order and to protect the citizens and the visitors. However, they are also corrupt and greedy, and they impose heavy taxes and fees on everything. They have a strong presence in the City Hall, the Police Station, and the Convention Center.

The Family is a faction of organized crime, led by Don Vito Corleone. They run the Casino, the most profitable and popular establishment in Atlantic City. They offer various games of chance, such as slots, roulette, blackjack, and poker, where players can gamble with their caps and win or lose big. The Family also has a secret vault that contains a mysterious treasure, which players will have to discover and access. The Family is ruthless and violent, and they have a network of spies and informants in the city.

The Showmen are a faction of performers and entertainers, led by P.T. Barnum. They put on various shows and spectacles for the visitors, such as circus acts, magic tricks, musicals, and comedy routines. They have a strong presence in the Boardwalk, the main attraction of Atlantic City, where they operate various venues, such as the Steel Pier, the Garden Pier, and the Taj Mahal. The Showmen are eccentric and unpredictable, and they use various tricks and gadgets to amuse or harm their audience. Some of the Showmen are friendly and funny, while others are hostile and creepy.

Each faction has its history, culture, and goals, and players will have to interact with them and choose their allies and enemies. Players can also join or betray the factions, and influence their fate and the future of Atlantic City.

What can you do in Atlantic City and what are the attractions and activities that you can enjoy?

Atlantic City offers a lot of activities and attractions for players to explore and enjoy. Here are some of the highlights:

  • Expeditions: Expeditions are a new feature that allows players to travel to locations outside of Appalachia, such as The Pitt and Atlantic City.

America’s Playground will add three more main quests to the Expedition storyline.
  • Casino: The Casino is a new location that is run by the Family, a faction of organized crime. The Casino offers various games of chance, such as slots, roulette, blackjack, and poker. Players can gamble with their caps and win or lose big. The Casino also has a secret vault that contains a mysterious treasure, which players will have to discover and access.
  • Boardwalk: The Boardwalk is the main attraction of Atlantic City, where players can find shops, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues. The Boardwalk is also home to the Showmen, a faction of performers and entertainers who put on various shows and spectacles for the visitors.
