Fort Knox

Fort Knox is a United States Army base in the state of Kentucky.

Background
The United States Bullion Depository is located at the fort and became active in the 1930s, housing a large amount of federal gold reserves. Because of this, Fort Knox is often referenced when something is locked up tight, similar to the gold vault. At some point before the Great War and during the construction of Vault 79, all gold from Fort Knox was moved to be stored in Vault 79 leaving Fort Knox completely empty of gold bullion.

Appearances
Fort Knox is mentioned only in Fallout 76 and content update Wastelanders.

Behind the scenes
Fort Knox is based on the real world location of Fort Knox, a United States Army post in Kentucky. The fort is adjacent to the United States Bullion Depository, which is used to house a large portion of the United States' official gold reserves.
