Diamond City Distress Signal

[MonoChaos]

So I discovered a distres signal in Diamond City. Don't know why. Where is it coming from in the city exactly? I have been looking all over but I cannot find it.

What's the signal called?

Name of the Signal? what can you hear when you turn it on in your pipboy?

Just "Distress signal" and it is just a bunch of beeps, just like the other ones.

look at the corners of you Screen, something appears like signal strength ....?

Did you by any chance drop and scrap one of the BoS Distress Pulsers in a settlement? Maybe Hangman's Alley? Or maybe Home Plate? This can trigger a bug where it will create a permanent distress signal.

if it has beeps check in the top right corner, it it says signal strength then follow it untill it gets to 100, it may be a random encounter idk.

Nope. I took one but I never scrapped it. I just put it in a chest somewhere.

The Distress Pulser is considered a "junk" item and if you store them in the Workshop, the game will scrap them for components if needed, just like any other junk item. This can also trigger the bug.

Other than that, the only other thing I can think of is possibly a mod, but what mod, I don't know. Unless someone else can give you a clue, the only thing you can do is google like crazy or start disabling your mods if you're running a modded game. Personally, I think the "Distress Pulser" bug is more likely, especially since you find more than one.

I just had the same thing, I ended up tracking the beeps all the way over to kellogg's house, in the side room.

a Diamond City guard just mentioned a strange distress signal, but my radio can't get it in town, and there's no new quest listed or map marker near Diamond City.

It may be a reference to a quest you already had from another source. Is it University Point for example?
