Say what you like about the quality of the poetry, but fact is, those cats are the only people who are really making any kind of high culture in the wasteland.

When you realise that the sole survivor is literally the definition of the 'how do you do fellow kids' when he/she interacts with the atom cats

To hell with the minutemen. To hell with the institute. To hell with the railroad. And TO HELL with the brotherhood. The commonwealth should be for the coolest cats around. The Atom Cats.

I actually wish that Sturges maybe during the Minutemen questline referred you to the atom cats, to convince them to join the Minutemen and turn the garage into a settlement

Zeke wasn’t raised in a crib. He was raised in a jukebox.

"...with a jetpack on the back. It'd never work..." *Oxhorn pulls camera out to show his working jetpack on the back of his power armor* Okay, I admit it. I laughed.

I love how zeke is like, "I fixed up a veribird and crashed it in the ocean" clearly a great mechanic but a HORRIBLE pilot

Duke- Hear me out: power armor with a jetpack. Nah, it would never work. Oxhorn- *shows X-01 Suit equipped with a working jetpack* No it would never work at all, Duke.

Zeke should have been a companion, imagine having a partner with Danse's resistance, Nick's sassy remarks, and Deacon's calm demeanor

Deacon and zeke and sturges are all twins

Theyve actually so wholesome omg they have poetry nights and are so supportive of eachother and they have a BED FOR THEIR PET ROBOT LOL

can we please have a moment of silence for Peepers R.I.P my dude :(

I started laughing so freakin' hard when duke said jet packs won't work and Ox goes into third person

I wish these guys were a actual faction for the main story of Fallout 4.

when bluejay said "I pull out my gun!" it really reminded me of that one southpark scene where r kelly was trapped in the closet

Can we take a moment to appreciate that oxhorn listened to ALL of the poetry night tapes

I think the Atom Cats would get along well with the Kings of Freeside.

Does anyone else think Zeke looks like deacon?

I really wish you could've turned this into a settlement after completing their quests or maybe a few other additional quests for them. Perhaps all the settlers here would adopt "greaser" styles and many would use power armor. I mean, the Slog constantly attracted ghoul settlers. A settlement that constantly attracted greasers would be cool.

Attention to all those who want to make your own atom cats gang at your settlement, but can't find a way to get the jackets: there is a merchant with a bunch of cats north of Walden pond. She sells the jackets, but only 1 at a time.

I think tat when Zeke was talking about an underwater power armor race, he was talking about running on the sea floor and not swimming, hence the use of "underwater"

He doesn't expect the power armor to swim. He says "underwater" I think he's talking about walking around on the floor of the bay.

I was absolutely delighted when I got that custom jacket! Especially because my character is such a Mom (yes, with a capital "M") and these guys seemed to me like they were like really young adults. So the fact that they invited my character to be in the gang and gave her that jacket made her feel like she became a cool mom to a bunch of youngsters. Cheered her up a lot and I got into a habit of wearing that jacket whenever doing some "downtime stuff", like building settlements, chatting with companions in their homes or, yes, fixing/modding the power armors I've collected.

The Atom Cats inspired me to listen to Greased Lightning every time I work on my Power Armor. Try it out, it’s awesome

Actually one of my favorite smaller factions in the game, they are light-hearted and caring but pretty tough. I wish they had a more involved quest line or that you could recruit them to rebuild the Commonwealth.

Most people forget that Fallout is set in a world where culture got stuck in the 1950s. The Atom Cats are there to remind them that, as post-war greasers. Greasers tune cars, Atom Cats tune power armor. My only acceptable place to hang out in Fallout 4. They sure are the coolest cats in The Commonwealth. You don't like them, you are not a square, you are a cube.

Twist! Sturges is the "dead" atom cat mentioned in Zeke's terminal.

2:36 "a jet pack on power armor... It would never work" Ox jumps to third person proudly displaying his currently equipped and mighty spiffy jet pack... Bravo :)

What? An underwater race would work though. They'd just be slower.

In something all FO4 players can agree is that Atom Cats are the definition of cool

I would prefer Zeke in atom cats to be the radio host instead of travis Edit: I am also very fascinated with greasers and atom cats are a great addition to fallout

R.I.P Peepers you'll be sleeping on that eyebot mat in the sky...

Yes, I realize beer is brewed, not distilled. It was 3AM and I was tired. How is this the #1 topic of conversation in the comments? Yeesh!

"Series of catwalks" You better own up to that. You BETTER be proud of that.

I would love to see the atom cats in future fallouts, like a mini faction, a brotherhood of steel but being cool, without the part of paladin, scribe, knight and that stuff Just guys with power armor being cool

R.I.P. Peepers, lost in the gunner raid in my playthrough as well.

What do you mean Zeke doesn't know power armours sink!? He said underwater race! Not swimming. You can walk under water with power armour and you know that!

These guys are my favorite. I cruise in the Atom Cats jacket all weaved out just to show the squares where its at. Can you dig that?

Duke saved me from rad scorpions at level like 12 so that's how I found them haha

How to see duke’s face 101: step 1: sneak up on duke and be hidden Step 2: either take his helmet or fusion core Step 3: watch and be blessed by duke’s face

It's so sweet how close the Atom Cats are. The Poetry Night tapes really solidify that, how supportive they are of each other's endeavors.

It's funny that you have greasers that can rebuild friggen power armor, but nobody in the post apocalyptic world has figured out basic carpentry and every structure is just nailed together junk. Even the earliest recorded human civilizations didn't live this badly!

I never knew the Atom Cats existed before but I love them. These guys are amazing.

"a suit of power armor, with a jetpack, on the back, it's a far out idea I know, but it would probably never work" *me, a sentinal in the BOS, having recieved the jetpack modification, staring him down with a look akin to that of that one Toothless image*

HOW WAS THERE NOT AN ATOM CAT FOLLOWER

I REALLY liked this little story arc...to the point that I wish it wasn't so short. The entire Atom Cats crew are actually DECENT people. You do good by them and they return the favor and then some! This little arc proved that people can be good without being aligned to the Minutemen, or the Railroad. True they are not a major story faction to be joined but they don't need to be. They are Bethesda's way of saying that your typical average person will, if given even half a chance, will respond to a good deed WITH a good deed. True you have to "join" them, they don't pay it forward in your case, but in the world of the Commonwealth paying it forward is dangerous. Letting just anyone into your group is an invitation to disaster. But if you prove that you will help them, and you do (first with the pump, then by coming to their rescue) they welcome you in, give a jacket, and give you a DISCOUNT.

I just found out about the atom cats because I was replaying and found duke out and about and I went to their base and talked to them and then I found the holotapes and it made me so happy. It's so wholesome to see them encouraging eachother over poetry. They have such a strong bond and their whole lifestyle is just based around being cool and how it's cool to take care of yourself, your armor, and your friends and family.

Where’s it at kitty cat? Taking stocks...litter box ._.

if you use robot hack on peepers when it's inside and shut it down till after the gunners attack you can keep peepers alive

Zeke reminds me of deacon

Rowdy: what a square... Me: you mean like your chest?

When I first saw the Atom Cats I was like the "Kings" of the Commonwealth, but this Cats are something else

Atom Cats = Tunnel Snakes of the Commonwealth

Bethesda sure loves the Greaser culture.

peepers survived with me, I have a railway rifle, so headshots all day.

I'm a Greaser in real life and i love this video Cat 🔥

I always try to build some sort of Atom Cat Outpost or second base at the Red Rocket Truck Stop and get Sturges, Deacon, Piper and some other people with names there and outfit them with atom cat jackets a shame that Bethesda didin't do more with them

I would love an atom cats based dlc

I love these guys. I mean forget the institute or the brotherhood, I wanna make the Atom Cats the strongest gang in the Commonwealth.

Would've been cool to have a atom cats storyline

Peepers the eyebot tends to die immediately when the Gunners hit the Atom Cats base. RIP littleguy

I saved peepers at lvl 53 by hacking him and shouting him down before the fight then the gunners won't target him and then reactivate him and he is still alive now

14:12 DALLAS JOHNNY PONYBOY DARRY TWOBIT SODAPOP STEVE IM SCREAMING (sorry I’m a huge fan of The Outsiders)

The atom cats are one of my fvorite minor part of the lore because they are so realistic. Many subcultures in our world try to revive old subcultures like Punk and oldschool skinheads, mods, beatniks and greasers and in the process they mix things up a bit and don't get it quite right. The Atom Cats dress and act like greasers, toying with heavy machinery and giving them rad paintjobs, speak like beatniks and also do slam poetry like beatniks, two subcultures who couldn't be more different.

R.I.P Peepers (he didnt sign up for this)

atom cats faction would have been badass

The fact Duke doesn't notice you're wearing a jetpack is a great exemplar of what's missing in Fallout 4. Adaptive dialogue and hidden interactions happen here and there... but the game's loaded with moments I know New Vegas, much less Alpha Protocol, would have acknowledged.

It’s honestly one of my favorite moments in the game, I wish they would add some extras to expand upon the amount of gameplay involving the atom cats

CAT walks? nice puns ox

just imagine taking down the institute with the atom cats or even taking down the BOS and redesigning the Prydwen

That little bit where you went into third person to show your jetpack, after what he had just said about how it would never work, made me chuckle a little.

I low key love the atom cats, they do what they love and help people at the same time

If I lived in the commonwealth, I'd become an atom cat.

Never kept Peepers alive either. Sad. Awesome part of the game. That whole area over there is great, Warwick, the Norwegian ship. Cheers

The slow zoom out to the jet pack killed me so hard

Zeke: *saying poem* Girls in my class: He’s just trying to be cool

Stay gold Ponyboy. Stay gold.

I was chased by mirelurk hunters and rushed to the Atom Cat’s garage for safety only to have them eat Duke alive 😥

2:24 I love that zoom out to show the jetpack lol

*ahem* HOW DO YOU DO FELLOW KIDS

Found a significant minor detail while i was at their garage. There's a railroad ally symbol on the class c coolant sign.

Don't let Garrus make poetry please.

No matter what level or play style, I can barely ever keep Peepers alive. It's especially sad as I used to have a duck named Peepers (because of the sounds he made as a duckling). :-( But that aside, the Atom Cats were a huge disappointment for me because I WANTED MORE! They're a fun faction and they actually help people! They'd have made a great alternative to the Minutemen for restoring the Commonwealth. They even know power armor well, so could have been an alternative to the BoS. Raising the Atom Cats flag in glory in settlements around the Commonwealth, guarded by suits of power armor, would have been really neat. This faction could have been great ... if only Beth hadn't abandoned them. Very sad.

I love the subversive of the "rough and mean greasers" trope, these guys are so wholesome

Oh my god, I love these nerds. With their greaser style and their poetry nights...

you can shut peepers down before the battle if you have the robotics perk which keeps him out of the fight

When I bought the creation club atom cats paint, I found this and thought it was all because of it.

In one of my playthroughs Duke was the 1st friendly NPC I found just south of vault 111. It was a nice experience to meet him so early in the game.

the voice actor of bluejay is also the voice actor of jesus in The walking dead season 3... alot of other fallout 4 characters have this voice actor, but i didnt realize it til now.

Hopefully the cool cat will save the kids

I just watched the outsiders and after I watched this,and saw the outsiders cover picture...I like it

It's criminal they weren't a bigger part of fallout 4. The atom cat paint and jacket are the best looking things you can wear in the game imo. Zeek is a fun faction leader and it's neat to see how the cats help the settlements near them while kicking the shit out of the toughest raider gang in the commonwealth. How bethesda decided that they shouldn't be an offshoot of the minutemen or something is beyond me

Quote the Fallout Wiki: "While it is possible that Peepers could be destroyed during the Gunner attack; if one has a rank of the Robotics Expert perk, they can save it by shutting it down or telling it to stay somewhere safe during the attack." Of course, I've yet to try this out.

Time for a Brawl, Atom Cats v Tunnel Snakes v The Kings. . .Only the coolest may survive!

Love the Atom Cats, and the video. One little thing I didn't see anyone else mention, though. There is an un-owned bed at the site. In the Red Rocket, outside of Rowdy's room behind a curtain. At least, once you are a member of the Atom Cats it is un-owned and available for you to use. I frequently use it as a waypoint when making a power armor shopping run.

Red Rocket near Sanctuary is a great place to set up a ''local chapter'' Atom Cats settlement, complete with settlers decked out in AC apparel and some cats captured with the cat cage from the dlc.

The Atom Cats are the 'Beatniks' of the Nuclear Age! I like these dudes! They want to keep Hot Rodding alive in an era that has no cars....

you heard it from zeke diamonds are just tilted squares.

“Soft meat under a hard shell” Christ, cat, keep it PG here.
