How to Raid Fort Constitution in Dead Rails

While you’re travelling towards the end checkpoint to escape from the apocalyptic world of Dead Rails, you will encounter various structures that can provide you with exclusive loot. Some of them include the Tesla Lab, the Castle, and the Fort Constitution. While the haul is quite handsome, raiding these areas can be a real pain. Among them, the Fort Constitution is significant for its ammunition-centric rewards. Want even more? You can get a unique cannon by looting this area. Do you think it’s worth taking the risk? If yes, then follow along as we show you how to raid Fort Constitution in Dead Rails right here.

Fort Constitution Location in Dead Rails

The Fort Constitution will spawn either at the 10-30 km or between the 50-60 km mark, swapping places with the Tesla Lab in Dead Rails. The Fort seems to be made of logs and has two towers with cannons. Inside the structure, you will find several buildings, including two Barracks, an Infirmary, an Armory, the Captain’s Quarters, and a Supply Depot.

Once you enter the Fort, Zombie Soldiers will spawn along with Captain Prescott as the building’s final boss. You must be fully prepared with weapons, ammunition, and other items like bandages, Snake Oil, Holy Water, a Crucifix, or a Molotov cocktail. Refer to our Dead Rails Weapons tier list for all the help you need.

We are making this clear because the zombies that spawn here will be much deadlier than the ones you’re used to seeing. They’ll follow you through the openings and won’t get stuck between the walls.

The worst part is that most of them will carry swords, guns, and can even ride on Dead Rails Horses. However, there’s nothing to worry about, since in the next section, we have given the best strategy to loot this area, find the key, and collect all the bonds from the Supply Depot.

How to Raid Fort Constitution in Dead Rails

Before you move on to head inside Fort Constitution, make sure you have enough ammo, a rifle, a shotgun, a few bandages, and a few Crucifixes, Holy Waters, or Molotov for doing AoE damage. You might consider equipping decent armor and taking a horse with you to outrun the enemies. Lastly, make sure that you start this quest at 6 AM in-game time to get the most daylight. Now, follow these simple steps to clear this area.

1. First Wave of Zombies

• As soon as you enter the area, head straight to climb up either of the towers on your left or right. This is the safest area in the whole building since none of the zombies can climb the ladder.
• Although the enemies can’t climb up, they have guns to shoot you from a distance. So, begin by peeking down and shooting the zombies.
• While you won’t be able to use the cannon right now, use the Crucifixes, Holy Water, or Molotov to either strike them with lightning or roast them with fire. Do this as the zombies spawn in groups below the tower.

2. Second Wave of Zombies

• Once a wave ends, you might notice that a few zombies are stuck inside the huts. To move them, you can swap the towers. Consider using Snake Oil to move faster.
• Having reached the top of the tower, you may repeat the steps above to beat the next wave of zombies.
• As before, they will be in groups, so AOE attacks are the key here.

3. Third Wave of Zombies

• Finally, the last wave starts when all soldiers and Cavalry zombies inside the structure are dead.
• Now, the horse-riding zombies will start appearing from outside the Fort and try to enter.
• You should never, for once, get down the tower, since from here, you can use the Cannons to shoot the new wave of monsters.
• Alternatively, you may also use the lightning strikes and Molotov again, if the range of the Cannon doesn’t reach the monsters.

One final tip is that if, by chance, you can’t clear this during the day and night falls, try heading back to your barricaded train cabin, as it might get tough with other enemies spawning at night. This will be more difficult if it’s one of the many Dead Rails night events, like a Blood Moon Night filled with vampires.

Finally, when you are sure that there are no movements at all and all zombies are dead, search for Captain Prescott’s body among the corpses. He has a handlebar moustache, wearing a Navy Blue suit, and holding a Cavalry sword. Once you locate him, a large golden key will be nearby that can be used to open the Supply Depot that you can open.
