How to take down a fortress and get a fortress cell
The first thing to do is find a good coverPreferably in a hallway that leads to an outside area that Bastion is patrolling. This will give you enough cover to avoid Bastion's machine gun fire. Having moves that allow you to hide and heal even when you're attacked makes combat much more manageable.

Shooting enough Hulkcracker bullets into the leg joints will immobilize Bastion, leaving the red core in the center vulnerable to attack.
Aim from the side of the Bastion to land a precise shot at the red core inside the Bastion, dealing massive damage to its HP. A few more shots will destroy the Bastion and its appendages will scatter for loot.
Loot every part of Bastion as the player can get it. 2-3 fort cells take one down ARC Raiders. When you find the first fort cell, quickly place it in a safe pocket. Then, other looted cells will automatically go into it (since you can stack 3 fort cells in one inventory slot).
