Enclave Communication Tower: what's it for??

[SIlverblade-T-E]

From the new Creation Club items, what the heck does the Enclave Communication Tower actually do? I can't find any answers for it

Just a decorative item for settlements?


Thanks for any help! :)

As far as I know, it does nothing,

Probably just a visual. Play the Enclave DLC mod,might explain more.

LOL. Good one, but I believe the Enclave is the official remnant of the US government, not the UN. That's not to say that they bear any resemblance to a Democracy.

Sigh, pity it isn't functional :(

But thanks for the answers! :)

I know you have to turn them off in order to get the Enclave to stop coming after you. If you have a mod that lets you join the Enclave, or if it is somehow possible to join the Enclave with the DLC, then maybe you can send messages or get support like calling on the BOS. Since, AFAIK, they just want to kill you, then turning one on should summon more Enclave to hunt you. Essentially if it gets boring, I suppose you can hunt them instead. Oh. The ones that you can place are probably just decorative. I thought you meant the ones at the enclave sites.

I have read other posters saying not turning them off, will result in the Enclave still coming for you. But I have left them on the last two runs I have did and after finishing the quest in the glowing Sea, they never attacked again.

The preexisting communications towers in the Enclave camps do have properties apparently linking them to some kind of respawning (unlike the settlement ones, which are purely decorative), but I'm unsure exactly what is supposed to be respawning.

The only time I've seen Enclave troops after doing the quests was in a random road encounter that had a pair of soldiers in power armour. I'd turned the camp towers back on just in case, but I don't know if it was required or just coincidental.

Well, that's the trick: don't finish the Glowing Sea part. Then you will have unlimited Enclave Power Armor to decorate with, and perhaps give to your settlers to equip during raids.

FYI, the Chinese Grenade Launcher is by design used to chew up the power armors, and they are very effective for this. I think they are less effective against normal troops, surprisingly, but will still kill most things after 2-3 grenades. You will need to replace the frames if you want to display them intact (or steal them using the fusion core method).
