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 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.

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.

Notable loot

 * 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
 * Nuka Cola Quantum is located inside of a Nuka Cola machine north-east of the building, behind the counter.
 * Fat Man inside the hidden room on the second floor. You 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.
