The Atlantic Offices is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.
With the Fallout 4 next-gen update, the location was modified to be a headquarters of the Enclave. Various soldiers are fought here during the quest Echoes of the Past.
Layout[]
The Atlantic Offices consists of a partly buried building infested by feral ghouls with three above-ground floors and two below-ground floors in the Glowing Sea. The central third floor is accessed through a hole in the northern wall. Stairs lead down to the second floor, which has two holes on the east side that can be dropped through to reach the first floor, one of which is trapped by a pair of laser tripwires triggering a Tesla arc.
From the first floor, one can take the elevator up to the fifth floor, which contains an Advanced-locked safe and a Novice-locked door to the ladies' restroom revealing a first aid box. The collapsed ceiling affords access to the roof. As the elevator will only return to the basement, the only way to leave the building is to jump down from the roof.
The fourth floor may be accessed through a hole in the eastern wall, up the hill and beneath the "Atlantic Offices" sign. This floor features the elevator shaft, several holes that may be dropped through to reach the third floor, and a room holding a toolbox behind a closed inaccessible security door opened via a nearby terminal.
Enclave field headquarters[]
With the introduction of the next-gen update, the location changes dramatically: The feral ghouls are replaced with an Enclave detachment under Major Elias, sent to recover missing equipment in the Commonwealth and establish a foothold for the Brotherhood. Rather than fighting ghouls, the player has to confront Enclave troops who have turned the building into their own fortress and set up an Enclave com tower on the top of the building. The way down leads through the usual winding passages, now reinforced with portable bunkers and fortifications, with Major Elias lurking at the bottom.
Elias and his terminal are the focal point of Echoes of the Past and killing him, as well as purging the entire Enclave presence are required to complete the location. The terminal at the bottom gives the option to add additional markers for the various Enclave encampments across the world map, as well as background lore for the Enclave in the Commonwealth.
Notable loot[]
- Fusion core - In the generator on the roof.
- Colonel uniform - worn by Major Elias.
- Hellfire and X-02 power armor - worn by Enclave soldiers.
- Enclave-branded combat armor - worn by Enclave light infantry.
Appearances[]
The Atlantic Offices appears in Fallout 4 and the Fallout: The Roleplaying Game sourcebook Winter of Atom.
Behind the scenes[]
- Based on the location's editor ID (GlowingSeaPOIJS02), the offices were created by level designer Justin Schram.
- There is an unused interior cell with the name "Atlantic Offices" in the game's files. It was intended to be placed in a green skyscraper in the Financial District near The Shamrock Taphouse, based on the skyline visible from the cell. There are also two sets of double doors that do not work within the cell. The skyscraper still exists in the game, though it is inaccessible. The entrance doors use the same model as the doors in the cut cell. One of the doors can be interacted with from the exterior, although it does nothing besides open and clip into the barrier.
