Chinese radio beacon

The Chinese radio beacon will be added to your radio in a random location in the Wasteland depending on each game. The signal will grow stronger as you get closer to the source of the beacon - a dead Chinese Commando.

The Chinese Commando carries a full set of Chinese equipment, including a Chinese pistol, Chinese officer's sword, and a dirty Chinese jumpsuit, as well as assorted medical supplies.

If you can't find the corpse, try making Dogmeat search for a weapon.

If a user uses the noclip code, they can go underground where they will find a ham radio labeled "Chinese Radio Beacon" underneath the commando. The radio can be talked to like any NPC. If interacted with, the player will hear "Hello?" or "Hey there" in English through the radio, to which the only reply available is "See you later. or Time for me to go." Upon choosing this, the player then hears "Bye" or "Later" in English as the dialog ends.

The message broadcast over the signal is "bai shi" 敗 失, which is pronounced more like "bye sir" by people for whom Chinese is a second language. (or can also be perceived as "shi bai" 失 敗), both of which mean losing and failing. In a war or in anything else.

The fact that the commando is not ghoulified and is equipped with a distress beacon implies that the military of China has survived in some way, or at least that a group capable of sending men to North America is present.

Bugs

 * If the player already has a given Chinese object in their inventory the Commando may spawn without that particular object in his inventory.


 * Sometimes the dead Chinese Commando doesn't spawn. You can still noclip underground and find the ham radio, but there will be no corpse above it.
 * A workaround on the PC is to use the console command.
 * There have been instances the Commando will spawn on the second story of a building, with the ham radio "floating" in plain sight near the ceiling of the floor below. This also happens on the raised highways, with the Commando on top and the radio stuck to the underside.
