Crimson Fastness is the Crimson Lance's base near the Salt Flats. It only has a transition out to the Crimson Enclave, as the transition back to the Back Door becomes unusable, but will appear in the Fast Travel menu after it is entered.

Background[]

There is very little information about the Crimson Fastness available in-game. It is the transmission station for the ECHO communications system and was presumably forcibly acquired by the Crimson Lance upon their arrival on the planet for use as a military staging area.

Trivia[]

  • Inside Patricia Tannis' cell are various scrawlings on the wall. Not all of these are 'in character'; among these ramblings are some blueprints for a vehicle and a theory stating that the Vault Hunters are in a cyclic existence (and will inevitably return in the second playthrough).
  • In the cell that a player can walk into, there is a picture on the wall that states "Eat Skag and Die", clearly a reference to the common saying "eat shit and die".
  • There are also a number of Lancers garaged here that are not drivable, providing only cover during the fighting.
  • This a good place to farm weapons, due to the number of high quality weapons chests and lockers.
  • In the area full of bunk-beds and lockers, there are a variety of objects the Crimson Lance use in their spare time, such as "Llama" brand cigarettes, and "GUN-HO" magazines. There is also junk food and innumerable cans of CONQUISTA brand beer.
  • A "fastness" is a word for "fortress" or "stronghold", and shares etymological roots with the term "to fasten", or make secure.
