Children of Atom are characters appearing in Fallout 4.

Background

The Church of the Children of Atom is a religion that worships a deity known as Atom and radiation, which they call "His Glow" originating from the town of Megaton in the Capital Wasteland. In the decade since the battle for Project Purity, the religion has expanded to all over the Commonwealth, settling in places ranging from the Crater of Atom in the Glowing Sea to all the way up to The Nucleus in The Island. The Children have sent preachers to various areas outside the Glowing Sea,[1] although the outcome of these expeditions are not always peaceful, as travelers who cross paths with the Church are often met with suspicion and hostility.

Locations

  • One may encounter Children of Atom fighting a group of three high-ranking Gunners as part of a random encounter, such as at the church in Hyde Park. They are often overwhelmed by the Gunners due to their combat armor often providing effective radiation resistance, and superior armor and weapons.
  • One also may encounter four Children of Atom fighting a Gunner commander and Gunner conscript while defending a derelict building just north of College Square.

Notes

  • As the majority of Children of Atom are armed with gamma guns, the player character can effectively neutralize most of the threat they pose by wearing a hazmat suit, though the player character must still watch out for Nuka grenades, nuke mines and pipe rifles.
  • Even if the Sole Survivor is a member of the Children of Atom they will still be hostile to the player in the Commonwealth.
