The Fort

Fallout: New Vegas guide · Meeting Caesar
← All areas in this guide

The Fort is the main military encampment and command center of Caesar's Legion, located across the Colorado River and accessible via the raft at Cottonwood Cove. The player is granted safe passage to meet Caesar inside his tent, where they are tasked with dealing with Mr. House's hidden bunker beneath the camp. Depending on player choices, this area can serve as the hub for siding with the Legion or turn into a massive combat zone to eliminate Caesar and his high-ranking officers.

Tips

  • Weapons will be confiscated at the front gate unless you sneak in holdout weapons or decide to shoot your way through immediately.
  • Killing Caesar will vilify you with the Legion permanently, but doing so does not lock you out of completing the game with the NCR, Mr. House, or Yes Man.
  • Bring strong armor-piercing ammunition and high-damage companions like Boone if you plan on attacking the camp, as the concentration of Legion troops and Praetorian guards is extremely high.
