Communist (Fallout 76)

Communist soldiers are enemies found in Appalachia in 2103.

Background
Originally People's Liberation Army infiltrators sent to investigate the Appalachia region, similar to the operation based in the Morgantown Mama Dolce's Food Processing nearby, the Communist soldiers survived the Great War thanks to the extensive cave system that made up the Deep. They did not survive unscathed however, and in the years since the War they have undergone ghoulification. Unlike the Morgantown operation, the infiltrators based in the Deep escaped the notice of Enclave forces in the Whitespring bunker, but similarly to the Morgantown infiltrators have become trapped, thousands of miles away from home in enemy territory.

Their mission was the acquisition and operation of a Motherlode drill, presumably to tunnel into the Whitespring bunker in an attempt to capture it and its secrets for China. However, the Great War brought a halt to their mission. As of 2103, they are still trying, though they have been unsuccessful in actually breaking through.

Appearances
Communist soldiers appear in Fallout 76, introduced in the Wastelanders update.
