Help/Support Raiders radio message not appearing?

Parryz · February 8

I've been trying to figure this out for the past few days, but I've had no luck. Everywhere I looked, it just mentioned being above level 150 to be able to contact raiders through the radio, but I still have yet to see that option.

I don't know if it's because I leveled up way too fast or because I'm on a tweaked version but I'd just like to be able to start doing raids as a form of entertainment in-between wait times to get these stupid settlement buildings finalized for the survivors path so I can make some progress.

( all my homies hate these money-hungry devs, made this whole settlement thing for a money grab instead of finally adding Bunker Charlie and the Heli. )

It has been a long time since my first encounter with raiders, but according to the LDoE Fan-Wiki, it mentions that the radio needs to be tuned for their message to appear.

"But since Beta v.1.7.2, you now have to contact them with the CB Radio. If you tune it right, a message from a raider will pop up occasionally."

I've seen that, too, and I remembered it being like that the last time I played. However, with the newest version, there is no knob to adjust the frequency; instead, you have options for either the dealer, bunker code, or raiders.

From the recent videos I've seen about raiders, players get this third option after getting to level 150 to contact the raiders. After pressing it, the frequency is tuned to their frequency. My problems are that I can't tune the frequency myself, and the option to contact the raiders hasn't appeared. ( Even after constantly checking it for multiple hours during the same session, I'm sure I couldn't have missed it. ) After multiple days of this, I just assumed it was because of the tweak and some mistake I made using it ( Maybe from messing with the settlement stuff? I never ended up crashing or not being able to load in but it may have caused my account to be compromised. )

Surprisingly I suddenly got the option right after I sent that last reply.

But to follow up and to anybody else curious it's just Kefir being themselves, the hidden requirement to unlock the raider's message is to wait multiple days

( In my case I think I waited 3-4 days after getting to level 150. )
