Locations

Pacifica

A district of stalled mega-projects and improvised survival on the coast.

Pacifica is the city’s broken promise made physical: grand plans interrupted, concrete half-finished, and communities adapting without waiting for rescue. It’s beautiful and hostile in the same breath—open sight lines, unpredictable turf, and pockets of fierce local identity.

Why it matters

• Power vacuum — Formal authority is thin; informal networks fill the gap.
• Contrast — Wealth and ruin sit side by side; optics rarely match reality.
• Isolation — Distance from “central” Night City can be safety or abandonment, depending who you ask.
