Atomic Chariot

Atomic Chariot is the name given to the Prisoner's 2076 Chryslus Highwayman, given to him by the "Heroes of Legend" for his help reclaiming the vehicle from the Highwaymen raider group during the Heroes' quest.

Background
Introduced in the mid-21st century, the Chryslus Highwayman was noted for it's high performance and durability. The slogan "Nothing can stop a Highwayman" was proven in the aftermath of the Great War as a notable few still operated in post-apocalyptic Detroit. This particular model found its way to Gus's Customs garage shortly after the bombs fell, like other cars in the hands of the Highwaymen raiders, and was reinforced with armor plating, twin miniguns, missile launcher, and Fat Man. It became the personal vehicle of Jed Abrams, first leader of the Highwaymen, and was the dread of the Mechanics, capable of single-handedly assaulting Mechanic convoys delivering supplies to outlying settlements.

After the Great Winter of 2130, resources to keep the Highwaymen's vehicles running became impossible to find. Jed Abrams's vehicle eventually grinded to a halt on the Michigan Super Highway Interchange. In time, the Interchange's high vantage became important as the Highwaymen adapted to raiding on foot. As a raider camp grew around the Interchange, Jed's vehicle became a shrine, then a throne. This was how the Prisoner found it when he accompanied the Heroes of Legend on their Quest for the Mechanics' Legacy. After defeating the Highwaymen, the Heroes managed to get the vehicle working once again, using a Snap-Off Super Tool Kit and a Fusion Core Converter from Detroit Fusion and gifted it to the Prisoner as an Atomic Chariot for a worthy knight of Detroit.

Gameplay
The Atomic Chariot allows the Prisoner to traverse the Motor City Wasteland much more quickly than on foot, at the expense of fusion cores. To deal with enemies and obstacles, the Prisoner can cycle between twin 5mm miniguns, a rocket launcher, and a Fat Man, each using ammunition from the Prisoner's inventory. Most of the major roads are traversable, but some areas may be off-limits to travel by vehicle.
