Fort Strong

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

Background
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 mechanism of the weapon but ultimately it was perfected. The barracks just outside the fort were razed and a mock town built instead. This was used as target practice for the developed weapon, hence the destroyed buildings. The fort also stored a sizable cache of mini nukes, which survived the Great War, and which the Brotherhood of Steel seeks to obtain in its fight against the Institute in 2287.

Layout
The area around Fort Strong is mostly dilapidated buildings and a few radioactive waste barrels. There are two naval cannons up on a perch near the Fort itself and another three at the far end of the fort, 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 (making killing the behemoth that much easier as the minigun on the vertibird rips through it with ease).

Outside

 * Power armor frame in the small guardhouse before the bridge to Fort Strong. The frame will have leveled components all the way up to X-01 models.

Inside

 * Covert Operations Manual #5 on General Brock's desk, in the southwest corner of the ground floor.
 * The Fort Strong Armory key can be found in the same desk at the same location.
 * Mini nuke can be found in the corner display case in the same location.
 * Fusion Cores in a footlocker on the second floor accessed through the north east room through the fallen floor.
 * Nuka Cola Quantum is located inside of a Nuka Cola machine north-east of the building, behind the counter (random).
 * Fat Man inside the hidden room on the second floor. One can see it through the spring of the west side door which is caved in by debris. This area is inaccessible for now in the game. (should be accessible using melee in vats on a synth relay grenade thrown in to the room).
 * 2 mini nukes on a shelf next to the doorway leading to the armory where the crates are stored in the bottom floor.
 * Private Murnahan's holotape on a desk by the window in the south western corner of the north western room on the ground floor.
 * Overdue book in a large red toolbox in the sublevel area.
 * The elevator to the sublevel will only become available when the Show No Mercy mission is picked up by the player character. Without it, the elevator entrance is blocked off by debris. This also makes the Fort Strong armory key mostly useless unless this quest is picked up.

Appearances
Fort Strong only appears in Fallout 4.

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