Lake Knot City is a city of the United Cities of America, and one of the two coastal Knots along with Port Knot City.
History[]
Port Knot City city was built, after the Death Stranding, on the crater lake of Ground Zero, formed after a series of voidouts that separated the continent, with the function of connecting the central region with the eastern one. At one point the Fragile Express, which owned a cargo ship, began to bank between Lake Knot and Port Knot City, thus challenging Bridges and expanding its sphere of influence.
During the Bridges I westward expedition, led by Amelie, the expedition team was able to convince the city to join the UCA and connect to the Chiral Network, during this time William Lake was appointed as the Head of Distribution of the facility.
After the battle with Higgs and the crossing on Fragile's ship, Sam was ordered to delivers three containers of aid to the city and, at the same time, finally connecting the distro center to the network, as a part of his expedition, making Lake Knot City the first city to connect. Later, on the return journey from Edge Knot City, a supercell above the city carries Sam to the war-torn Beach, where he faces Clifford Unger for the third and final time.
