History[]
The US during the Omnic Crisis
At some point before the present, it was legal to wager and sell omnics between humans.[3]
When the Omnic Crisis hit America, the country was willing to try anything to win the war.[4] Consequently, the United States ran the highly classified but widely acknowledged "soldier enhancement program." Controversial, the program utilized pharmaceutical[5] (among other means) to create "perfect soldiers" blessed with superhuman speed, strength, and agility.[6] Ultimately, politics, mismanagement, and egos left it to Overwatch to finally win the war.[4] However, the war had displaced millions, and many of them looked for a new place to settle, or at least find steady work. By this point, the wagering and selling of omnics had been outlawed, though the practice continued in criminal circles.[3]
After the theft of a pulse rifle from the abandoned Watchpoint: Grand Mesa, the US conducted efforts to apprehend the intruder.[7] Atlas News reporter Olympia Shaw believed that this intruder was also responsible for previous bombings of corporate offices and financial institutions within the United States.[6]
Currently, the US is one of the countries affected by the Second Omnic Crisis.[8]
