I was on my way to a bunker in archipelago region when it came up with relay beacon. it was a plane surrounded by 3 different types of hunters. I killed them all but what was the plane there for- what is a relay beacon?
Thanks
Planes are just props. There sometimes are dead pilots in the cockpit - you can loot them.
Destroying relay beacons give you a lot of XP (500-1500) and a radio.
ok thanks what is best way to destroy them
Just shoot them until they explode
Shoot the yellow fuel tanks at the top.
