The most common punishment is being fed to 'The Forge,' an enormous crucible filled with molten metal which the Forged seem to revere as a sort of idol or deity. The Forged have little tolerance for failure or disobedience, with punishments ranging from banishment, to having one's family slaughtered in front of them or being fed molten iron. One Saugus Ironworks terminal lists a number of members who failed the Forged in the past with names such as ' Hood,' ' Rampart' and ' Viper' (one former member, Yancey, was killed for refusing to change their name). Once initiates pass these trials, they must change their name to a 'tougher' nickname, typically one that invokes fire and machinery.

No details about what these trials consist of can be found, only that they are extremely brutal, with failure ending in death. New recruits must pass several trials to prove their worth before becoming one of the Forged. The Forged are cruel and sadistic, showing no mercy to outsiders or even their fellow Forged. Theres a random event where you can come across a large battle being fought by the Children of The Atom and the Gunners. Either due to the glorious Curb-Stomp Battle that ensued or the adreanline filled gunfight that left your blood pumping. However once they killed many of the notorious Gunners from the neighboring Hub City Auto Wreckers during battle word spread along with the number of recruits. Anytime you clear out a Raider settlement is bound to be this. Initial recruiting was slow, with many recruits failing the gruesome initiation rituals. They can be found mainly in and around Saugus Ironworks, their home and base of operations, and they'll attack any and all trespassers on sight.Īlthough the gang itself (its leader Slag and initial members) came from outside the Commonwealth, the majority of its members were recruited from local raider gangs. The Forged are similar to raiders, set apart only by their small numbers and fanatical obsession with the destructive power of fire.
