This article has been evaluated to be at quality level 5. This article may seem complete to the untrained eye, but the gaps in information are still large enough for this elite team of Panauan Ninjas to hide inside of.

Communications Outposts are military facilities in Just Cause 2.

Stations

They're small structures composed of a bunker, three terminals and an antenna. By activating all three terminals, a mast will extend out of the bunker and erect two antennas. Those antennas will then revolve and go back down. They can only be destroyed when they're up. They are very easy to destroy and a few shots into each antenna with any gun will destroy them. Shooting the middle core is the quickest and easiest way to destroy them, also saving ammunition. Each will give 1500 Chaos points and $5000 when destroyed.

According to the PDA settlement info, they are also used as a database, storing information about all the people on Panau.

It is also programmed to automatically call air support should it be raised without authorization. However sometimes when you destroy the antennas the air support will turn around and leave the area.

A white gas releases from inside the bunker when the second terminal is activated. It's unknown what that is.

Outpost

The outposts contain the communications mast; a Generator; a Broadcast Tower; one collectable resource item (usually a cash stash) and one Medicine Cabinet. This makes them ideal structures if you want to complete settlements to 100% and replenish health if you're running low on it.

Two larger outposts contain a Communications Mast, of which, only one of those two unique ones is the largest communication outpost in Panau.

They will always be protected by soldiers and rarely, there will be a Minigun on top of the platform, which the soldiers usually don't use. There's one or two outposts that contain an extra generator and broadcast tower a bit of a way away from the main tower. Sometimes they're found a few hundred meters away from military bases, as a part of the base, which means that sometimes a base may be difficult to complete, if you don't notice the outpost.

When Rico hits the first switch on the console to raise the antenna core, the outpost calls in paratrooper reinforcements, though it is usually easy enough to complete the outpost and leave before they arrive. The air support consists of a UH-10 Chippewas, but they leave after the antenna is destroyed, regardless of completion (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%). Sometimes 4-5 paratroopers will deploy from the Chippewa as reinforcements, but this is not always the case.

These are usually the fastest kind of place to complete compared to military base, military harbor, civilian village, city/town, etc., as there are typically only 4 things to do.

Most communications outposts are abandoned after 100% completion, though some retain a few soldiers. Many of them also retain their restricted area status, though with no soldiers around, Rico usually doesn't get heat.

Completion

Completing these outposts usually consists of:

• Collecting the Cash Stash resource item.
• Destroying the broadcast tower and generator.
• Destroying the communications array after Rico hits the three switches to raise the mast.

Three outposts have some additional requirements to reach 100%.

• Kepulauan Senjakala Alpha has an additional broadcast tower and generator.
• Gurun Lautan Lama Alpha also has a communications mast.
• Kepulauan Selatan Epsilon is the largest communications outpost in Panau, and in addition to the above, requires a SAM site and communications mast to be destroyed, plus a Weapon Part resource item to be collected.

Naming system

Outposts not attached to a base are designated with the area they are in. The last name in the outpost locations name is the number of order and the Panau Military is using the Greek alphabet to group the outposts. There's a total of 12 outposts each in East Tanah Raya and Selatan Archipelago, so this is how they are grouped:

• Alpha = Α α
• Beta = Β β
• Gamma = Γ γ
• Delta = Δ δ
• Epsilon = Ε ε
• Zeta = Ζ ζ
• Eta = Η η
• Theta = Θ θ
• Iota = Ι ι
• Kappa = Κ κ
• Lambda = Λ λ
• Mu = Μ μ

Locations

There's 75 of them, all over Panau. They're usually at small isolated outposts. Some of them are a part of a military base.
