Trivia[]
- From all the named location having appeared, The Fortress is the POI with the lowest amount of chests, ammo boxes and floor loot.
- The Fortress is not unique: the Imagined Order seems to mass produce them just like any other vehicle, as multiple Drills the size and model of The Fortress could have been spotted in the sink hole under The Collider during the Collision live event. This probably means that The Fortress is simply a Drill chosen to carry Doctor Slone and the first IO heavy vehicles to reclaim the island and is no different from any other Drill of its type.
