Atom Cats Garage

The Atom Cats garage is a location appearing in Fallout 4.

Layout
Formerly being a Red Rocket garage, the building has been occupied by the Atom Cats, a gang who has expertise in armor modifications, including power armor mods. A power armor station is located here for repairs, modifications and swapping parts. The signature Atom Cats custom paint job can be purchased after completing a miscellaneous quest line.

The area is a goldmine for power armor and accessories, as the alternative for the T-60 model is through the Brotherhood of Steel faction/quest line. With two suits (minus the helmet, both located on the same chassis) being available to the player character without engaging in combat, another three (and an empty chassis) to those who decide to clear the camp.

If the camp is attacked, one of the Atom Cats often enters the power armor located in the back of the garage, and will not exit the suit afterwards. If you personally attack the camp or complete the quest line, it is likely that stealing a suit will no longer be an option.

For those who choose to kill the Atom Cats and scavenge their suits, shotguns at close range appear to be effective at staggering them and preventing them from being able to return fire. Unfortunately, this also deals a great amount of damage to the power armor they are piloting. If you can manage, aim for the head to maximize damage dealt and minimize your repair costs in the end.

Sniper rifles work equally well for those who prefer to stay at a distance, but assault rifles and automatics are not recommended if the goal is to minimize damage suffered to the power armor.

Alternatively, you can pick-pocket the fusion cores off of the Atom Cats in power armor and they will be forced to exit their suits before continuing their patrols, allowing you to freely take the armor.

Notable loot

 * Power armor frame (owned) inside the garage. However, if the garage is attacked by Gunners it is not uncommon for a member of the Atom Cats to use it for combat and once they enter, they will not exit the frame.
 * Hot Rodder, in the trailer towards the back.
 * Fusion core, in a generator attached to the main building.
 * Unarmed bobblehead, On the hood of the car in the main building.
 * Atom Cats custom paint job, sold by Rowdy
 * Cats poetry tape - 1,2,3, the first one is in the trailer home to the north, second one is on the counter at the bar, third one is on the nightstand next to the bed in the back room of the garage with two power armor stations.
 * T-60 Atom Cats power armor (minus helmet) in the far back behind two laser tripwires. Two sets of power armor are on the same frame.
