Connected Speaker

A cheap extra speaker that repeats whatever your Boom Box plays. Useless alone; wired in, it carries music or a voice across the whole compound.

Overview

In-game description
A small speaker that will play any audio from a connected Boom Box.

On its own this does nothing at all. Its job starts when a wire from a Boom Box reaches it: whatever the box plays, tape or stream, comes out of the speaker as well. That way one box serves a whole base instead of one room.

  1. Place the Boom Box where you can reach its settings, and give it power.
  2. With the wire tool, run from the box's audio output to the speaker's input.
  3. For another room, wire from the first speaker's output on to the next one.

At 75 metal fragments each and stacking in fives, covering a compound costs next to nothing. As far as players know, only the box at the head of the chain needs power; the speakers simply pass the sound along.

It is not only for music. A microphone stand can feed the same speakers, so a clan running a shop or an arena gets a PA system: one person talks at the counter and the whole yard hears it. On a quiet base, keep them off the outer walls, or you are announcing yourself.

Raid cost

Direct hit, hard side, no duds. Beancan Grenade is a dud 15% of the time. Satchel Charge is a dud 20% of the time. A range runs from point blank to the far end of the bullet's falloff, fired from an Assault Rifle.
