Neptune's Bounty

The hungry belly of Rapture where industry rotted into a lawless sea of violence.

Neptune's Bounty is a district in Rapture, the underwater city from the BioShock video game series. It is the location where the player character, Jack, first encounters a Big Daddy and a Little Sister during the events of the first game. The area is an industrial fishing and processing hub, built into an underwater canyon and connected via Bathysphere to the Welcome Center hub.
