For the Pip-Boy radio in Fallout 3, see Fallout 3 radio stations. |
The radio is a miscellaneous item in Fallout and Fallout 2.[1]
Characteristics[]
In Fallout, the radio can be used to distract the super mutants patrolling the outside of Mariposa Military Base, allowing easier access to the base's interior. Attempting to use the radio in other locations results in unintelligible static. It can also be linked with the computer that controls the force fields within the military base to gain remote control over them.
In Fallout 2, a unique broken radio is required to help Vic repair Metzger's radio in order to free him from the Slaver's Guild. Besides that, it cannot be used, but can be sold for $350.
