Combat Zone

Description

Formerly the Orpheum Theatre, The Combat Zone is now a raider-operated fight club in the Theater District of Boston. It serves as both an arena for brutal combat and the residence of Cait, a potential companion for the Sole Survivor.

Background / History

Pre-War:
The Orpheum Theatre, once a venue for theater and public entertainment, was repurposed post-War into a cage fighting arena by ghoul host Tommy Lonegan. The arena was initially open to the public but fell under raider control in 2285.

Post-War:
Under raider rule, The Combat Zone exclusively caters to raider audiences, featuring fights between captured wastelanders and unwilling combatants. Despite the change in ownership, Tommy Lonegan remains as the owner and operator.

Layout

The Combat Zone features a main lobby, the fighting cage, a bar, and various wooden shacks built around the collapsed theater seating. Workstations, including cooking stations, weapons workbenches, and chemistry stations, are scattered throughout the area.
