Being a Raider means taking risks and making hard choices.  As a Raider, your objective might seem simple: venture topside,  and scavenge for valuable resources.  Yet the path isn’t easy: ARC patrols the surface with lethal force,  and amidst the lawless wastes, fellow Raiders have been known to claim what’s theirs by force.  Fight head-on, or hide in the shadows to escape notice.  Make use of the many tools and gadgets available to you, to tackle every challenge you face.  Once you successfully return to Speranza,  you can craft or upgrade equipment using the resources you’ve gathered,  or sell your spoils to the various Traders to fund your next excursion.  Every trip topside is a gamble, but success might be the key to uncovering hidden truths.

After losing her parents at a young age, Celeste was forced to fend for herself, learning to be resourceful out of necessity. When the First Wave hit, she was taken in by a group of Raiders, and experienced the early resistance firsthand–something that would prove core to shaping her as a person. Her survival instinct and conviction eventually contributed to the founding of Speranza, the de facto base of the Raider resistance. To Celeste, Speranza isn’t just a settlement–it’s a testament to human endurance, built through the efforts of its people. She has dedicated herself to Speranza's survival, and is constantly preparing for the future. But with the growing ARC threat and internal strife, she senses that the underground won’t remain safe forever. Will the Raiders support her cause, or go down fighting each other?

In Speranza, Raiders enjoy a few extra privileges not afforded to others. One of them is the Raider Den. This space is more than just a place where you can put your feet up it’s significantly larger and more functional than the areas used by other members of the community, and a perfect place for you to fine-tune your gear.  A Raider is not merely a combatant. A skilled Raider is also a seasoned mechanic, a capable craftsman, and often a bit of a chemist, too. Topside, survival favors the skilled–those who can assemble tools, repair weapons, and craft explosives or medicine from whatever they can scavenge. For this reason, Raider Dens are often filled with raw materials, collected components, and a variety of workstations to utilize as they see fit.
