As there doesn’t seem to be one of these I thought of creating one. I have found maybe 40 so far but forgotten where most were. If people could add the locations I will collate them into a list and then add graphics to a map.
Give me co-ords if you can, or a brief description of location with a screenshot please.
Hm. Hadn’t considered that! It should be easily verifiable though if people have beacon positions that don’t agree with my map (I have added several already using the radio mast graphic). There are only 4 in the south archipelago in my game - did yours agree with those locations?
Honestly I can’t remember, and I can’t say for sure that all the beacons are not set from the start of the game. But I believe that I’ve returned to locations previously unoccupied by beacons that suddenly have one. I remember the positions of my last two beacons from yesterday, and I’ll find them for you tonight.
Thinking more about this I am now certain that relay beacons are fixed on the map and will appear in the same locations for everyone. Why? Because when you enter a new location it will say if there are relay beacons there, along with the list of collectibles/weapons/missions.
It’s slightly off from your icon location and I could not find another light there in the bush. From an early save it seems they are both there at the same time:
I also checked several of the locations from your map and the floating lights are all there at the spots where the beacons should be (although they are all slightly off).
Even the very first beacon we all are forced to encounter has that light at that location (slightly less visible because of twilight):
I also had problems with the relays, I solved everything thanks to the DLC, the relays always regenerate in the same point and I was able to complete the collection. Obviously I speak of the new island, for the rest of the map I still don’t see them.
