Fort Strong

Fort Strong is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.

Layout
The area around Fort Strong is mostly dilapidated buildings and a few radioactive waste barrels. There are two naval cannons up on perch near the Fort itself, with a wooden pier extending to the south. The area houses super mutants and a super mutant behemoth. The area must be attacked and cleared for the quest Show No Mercy.

Lore
Fort Strong was a military stronghold tasked with the development of the Fat Man for use against China. There appeared to be difficulties regarding the launching mecanism of the weapon but ultimataly it was perfected. The barracks just outside the fort where used as target practicing for the developed weapon, hence the destroyed buildings. The fort also stored a sizable cache of mini-nukes, which survived the Great War, which the Brotherhood of Steel seeks to obtain in its fight against the Institute in 2287.

Behind the scenes

 * Fort Strong is on the site of real life Deer Island, off the end of the Winthrop penninsula (portrayed as Nordhagen beach in the game).

Appearances
