Ruins of a fort from before the Collapse.
In-game description
Ancient Fort is the ruin of a fortification that stood before the Collapse, sitting in the lower middle of The Blue Gate. The in-game map marks it for Old World and Technological loot. Farmlands lies about 130 m away, with Ruined Homestead and Broken Earth close by as well.
In an ordinary round the fort has 7 container spots, though most are possible spots and a round fills only some of them. Look for a Weapon Case, an Ammo Box and a Medical Bag, along with 2 Wasp Husks, a Worn Backpack and a Container. ARC can appear across several areas here, chiefly small flying machines, but also large and small ground machines; which machine shows up varies from round to round. There are 10 Fuel Cells around the site and a Zipline.
The nearest way out is Overlook Airshaft, about 270 m in a straight line, with Fragrant Hatch, a Raider Hatch, about 280 m off. The Blue Gate has more than one level, so the walk can run longer than that. Cold Snap rounds bring 11 container spots of their own here, Locked Gate rounds have 4, Husk Graveyard rounds 2 and Lush Blooms rounds 1.

Return points near Ancient Fort
| Return point | Type | Distance | In-game description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overlook Airshaft | Airshaft | about 270 m | The panoramic view from atop the hill makes up for the faint smell of bat droppings and stale grease. |
| Fragrant Hatch | Raider Hatch | about 280 m | The aromas drifting from the nearby olive grove makes this a particularly pleasant descent. |
| Forest Airshaft | Airshaft | about 470 m | This airshaft is often clogged with fallen leaves, making for an escape that is as slippery as it is autumnal. |
