This 2023 role-playing game expansion transports players to post-nuclear Atlantic City, focusing on exploration, resource gathering, crafting, and cooperative or solo combat across boardwalks. The "City High Stakes Bundle" specifically adds cosmetic items like the Casino Quarter C.A.M.P. Kit and the Civic Duty Power Armor, enhancing the core experience of surviving post-apocalyptic dangers.
As a role-playing experience, the fundamental gameplay loop involves exploration across the newly accessible areas, resource management, crafting necessary items, and engaging in combat against various post-apocalyptic threats. Players can undertake these activities either individually or cooperatively with others.
The setting of Atlantic City introduces a distinct atmosphere centered around themes of chance and urban decay. A primary focus within this expansion involves navigating the boardwalk environment and participating in activities related to fortune-seeking while surviving the inherent dangers of the wasteland.
This specific bundle primarily enhances the player's customization and aesthetic options. Key inclusions are bonus items for the player's C.A.M.P. (Construction and Mobile Public) system, specifically the Casino Quarter C.A.M.P. Kit, allowing for themed settlement construction. Additionally, it provides the Civic Duty Power Armor, offering a unique cosmetic look for heavy combat gear.
The content is integrated into the existing framework that supports multiple ways to play, including persistent online world interaction, cooperative play sessions, and solo progression through the main narrative and side content.
The introduction of Atlantic City shifts the environmental focus and introduces new questlines and challenges tied directly to the city's theme, offering a change of pace from the base game's established regions. The bundle itself focuses on rewarding players who invest in base building and character appearance.
