Recruitment radio beacon

A recruitment radio beacon is a constructible settlement item featured in Fallout 4.

The recruitment beacon is a large radio antenna, that can be built at owned settlements. Once built and supplied with the necessary power, it will transmit a radio station listed as Settlement recruitment beacon in an area around the settlement and attracts more settlers to come live there. The transmission (and recruitment) can be turned on and off using the switch at the base of the tower.

It can be listened to like any other radio station, it loops between playing a message pre-recorded by the Sole Survivor, followed by music.

The range of the beacon can be extended by activating relay towers near the settlement to boost the signal. This also increases the recruitment of settlers.

Bugs
Sometimes, when trying to build a recruitment beacon, the inventory shown with the required materials is listed incorrectly. It may show the player character the requirements are all present, while in fact some may be missing (most of the times steel).

The radio beacon may no longer be available to be built in the latest update with the season pass.
