Reinforcement Radio Custom Edition
Updated for v3.1.0
Updated for v3.1.0
Overview
The base edition of the mod is the building block for the other variations. Reliant only on Fallout4.esm and purposefully trying not to customise or edit too much it is designed for the Minutemen Militia Squad call in to hopefully be compatible with most other Minutemen mods out of the box. Example load order:
Fallout4.esm
DLCCoast.esm
DLCNukaworld.esm
MilitarizedMinutemen.esp*
ReinforcementRadio - Base.esp
ReinforcementRadio - MilMin - Std.esp
*Ensure you are using the Loose files and Merged plugin version from the Patches Addon Mod. More detail in the installation instructions article.
It features the radio item that when used allows reinforcements to be called from the following factions:
- Gunners
- Minutemen
Each faction has a unique set of squads / teams that can be called in to support the player. These are explained in further detail below, along with explaining any criteria that may be required for their availability.
Gunner Faction
The Gunners are implemented in a way that they are not hostile to the player during or after the hiring period. They are different to other factions reinforcements in that there is a caps cost for every time you request support. The following Squads are available:

Minutemen Faction
The minutemen are originally the focus of the mod, the idea is that the squads called in using the radio are to supplement the flaregun rather than outright replace it. Acquiring Minutemen squads differs from the Gunners in that once the initial training costs have been met calling in the reinforcements is free. This is to simulate the expansion of the Minutemen as the game progresses and the factions 'grows' through the story. Each squad has a player level and global settlement population requirement before it can be used. This system is done through the Master Drill Sergeant, a new unique character introduced with the mod.
Master Drill Sergeant
Spoiler:
Master Drill Sergeant
The Drill Sgt will appear at The Castle after the completion of the Minutemen quest 'Old Guns'. He arrives randomly at some point between 12 - 48hrs (game time) after he hears the artillery fire and the relaunch of the Minutemen Radio.
Currently he has a default vendor voice set, through interaction with him you can access his barter menu that will allow the acquisition of training manuals that when used 'unlock' that squad type to be called in via the radio. There is a misc quest that will alert you to when new training manuals are ready for collection.
