Chinese radio beacon



The Chinese radio beacon is a radio station found in a random encounter in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
The Chinese radio beacon will be added to your radio list in a random location in the Wasteland. The signal will grow stronger as you get closer to the source of the beacon — a dead Chinese commando.

The 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 the player uses the console command, they can go underground where they will find a ham radio labeled "Chinese Radio Beacon" underneath the commando. The radio can be spoken to like any non-player character. 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" or "Whatever" in English as the dialog ends. Unlike other radios, this radio cannot be turned off.

The message broadcast over the radio is "Bì Shèng" ( 必 胜) (Bi Shung - Mandarin), which means "MUST WIN". The message repeats twice, then there is a short pause then the message repeats every few seconds in a loop.

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.
 * Sometimes the beacon will become available only at a far edge of the world-map, indicating the commando's body is somewhere far off-map.
