Nuka - World raiders The Nuka - World raiders is the name given to an alliance of powerful raider gangs that was organized by Colter and Porter Gage , with Colter serving as the overboss , with the ultimate goal of taking over Nuka - World and building a raider empire . Background . The " alliance " boils down to more of a non - aggression pact , shaky and prone to infighting , mainly due to the fact that they spent over a year in Nuka - Town together in close proximity , without any hope of expanding their respective territories in the park . They do all share a common goal , one of the very few things that has kept them together for so long : to claim Nuka - World for their own . Because of this unstable relationsip bordering on full - blown war , due in large part to Colter ' s inability to follow through on his responsibilities as overboss , Gage has been plotting with the leaders of the gangs to overthrow Colter and replace him with whoever killed him . The Gangs . The Pack . The hierarchy of the Pack is based on the hierarchal structure of some social animals ( popularly but controversialy applied to wolves ) , with the leader being referred to as the " alpha . " The Pack strictly follows the rule of " survival of the fittest , " though to a less extreme than the Disciples . Like with certain animals , such as peacocks , they use their colorful and outlandish looks to boast to each other and the other gangs . It is common , even expected , for members to challenge the reigning alpha to win the title , which ends with the winner remaining , or reigning , as the dominant of the Pack ; this usually means that the alpha is the most violent member of the Pack , but not necessarily the most capable leader . As Pack law forbids the killing of other members , the losers are generally publicly shamed and then exiled . Pack members are identifiable by their colorful outfits and bizarre face paints , with most members wearing masks depicting animals . As of 2287 , the current alpha of the Pack is Mason . The Pack feeds the carnivorous animals they keep with human remains , both slave & settler ; evidence for this can be found in the Nuka - Town backstage , with a Pack - owned yao guai sleeping in a cage surrounded by the mauled corpses of various settlers . Disciples . In criminology terms , the Disciples ' common driving factor is the act of " thrill killing , " meaning that they are bloodthirsty and sadistic just because they can be . The Disciples are more similar to the raiders encountered in the Commonwealth than the Operators and the Pack due to their extreme bloodlust and amorality , as best exemplified with member Dixie . Their base in the hollow structure of Fizztop Mountain is filled with dismembered corpses and heavy gore . Since Nisha became their leader , and even created the name " The Disciples . " They follow the natural way of the world : " Kill or be killed , " i . e . " survival of the fittest , " though to a higher extreme than the Pack . The only rule they agree with is " Don ' t get caught . " The Disciples are pretty much free to do as they please , including killing members of the other raider gangs , as long as they aren ' t found out ; leaving behind evidence that trails back to the Disciples may lead to disciplinary measures taken from within , which generally means the offending Disciple is killed and disposed of , usually by Nisha herself . The Gauntlet , the sole entrance into Nuka - World , was built by the Disciples as a suggestion by Porter Gage as a way of keeping them placated while waiting for Colter to follow up with the alliance ' s plans of taking over Nuka - World . The majority of Disciples are women , though they are not female - exclusive ; it is possible to find male Disciples in owned raider outposts , and a few can be seen in their base with Savoy being a male Disciple . All Disciples wear face - covering masks . Operators . The Operators can be more easily classified as an organized crime group and can even be referred to as a mafia , mob or crime syndicate , as their main motivation for the alliance is the acquisition of caps and making profit . They are seen as less bloodthirsty than the Disciples and the Pack , with more functional outfits compared to the outlandish garb of their counterparts , which typically consists of armor designed like formal dresswear adorned with large ammo belts , slung over the shoulders bandolier - style and / or wrapped like a belt around the waist . They are also known to have a more approachable , reasonable demeanor , as demonstrated their leader Mags Black , an attitude that puts her at frequent odds with her more abrasive second - in - command and brother , William . If it can make a bunch of caps , it is very likely the Operators are involved one way or another , although even as they are focused on the profit , they are never to be underestimated in combat . Interactions with the player character . The Nuka - World raiders will be under the control of the Sole Survivor if they agree to become overboss . The gangs will each offer the overboss benefits to acquire territory in Nuka - World ' s attraction hubs , as well as control over outposts and settlements in the Commonwealth . After the finishing laying the foundation for the budding raider empire in Nuka - World and the Commonwealth during the respective quests The Grand Tour and Home Sweet Home , a dispute will inevitably break out in Nuka - World during the quest Power Play , with the least - favored gang attempting to overthrow the established order , but being disposed of by the overboss and the other gangs , leaving one of the gangs eradicated and disorganized , and the remaining two loyal to the overboss . Members of the Nuka - World raiders can then be found on patrol in the Commonwealth , collecting slaves and caps to bring back to Nuka - World . The underbosses can give the overboss missions to increase their power in the Commonwealth and defend their standing in Nuka - World . The Sole Survivor has the ability to decide to eradicate the alliance by starting the quest Open Season . The underbosses are killed and the whole park will turn against them , without any hope of reparation . Appearances . The Nuka - World raiders appear in the " Fallout 4 " add - on " Nuka - World " .
