Borderlands 3 introduces players to the swampy, dangerous wilderness of Eden-6, a planet packed with corporate secrets and hostile wildlife. Among the various Crew Challenges scattered across this massive region, tracking down the Crimson Radio stations stands out as an essential task for completionists looking to disrupt COV propaganda. Sabotaging these broadcast towers not only rewards players with experience points and valuable in-game currency but also contributes significantly toward unlocking local map achievements.
Understanding the Floodmoor Basin Radio Challenges
The sprawling landscape of Floodmoor Basin features two distinct Crimson Radio towers hidden within its industrial and rocky environments. Finding these stations requires a combination of keen exploration and precise platforming, as the developers tucked them away on elevated structures that are not immediately accessible from the main roads. Navigating these heights effectively ensures that the Vault Hunter can safely silence the Children of the Vault and claim Moxxi's rewards without falling into dangerous territory below.
Before attempting to climb these complex structures, clearing out nearby enemies will make the platforming process much less stressful. Keeping your ears open is an excellent passive tracking strategy, as the loud propaganda music gets noticeably stronger whenever you approach a hidden broadcast installation. Taking note of local landmarks like shipping containers and generators will usually give you a clear hint about where your climbing sequence should begin.
Locating the Primeval Plain Broadcast Tower
The first Crimson Radio installation can be found resting in the eastern plain region of the Floodmoor Basin map. To quickly reach this objective, players should fast travel down to the Drop Pod station and proceed directly toward the wide open lowlands. The broadcast equipment is situated high up on one of the massive metal support pillars that keeps the local log-carrying machinery operational.
To successfully reach the satellite dish, look for a small wooden shack positioned directly underneath the mechanical structure. Climb on top of this building's roof first, then use the nearby electrical generator as an additional stepping stone to gain more height. From this elevated platform, carefully walk along the structural beam to reach the terminal and override the broadcast signal for the Crimson Raiders.
Reaching the Dockyard Settlement Station
The second broadcast challenge is located near the northern section of the map, situated right next to the entrance of the local Dockyard area. This radio terminal sits atop a prominent building that overlooks the industrial settlement, requiring a creative approach to bypass its vertical barriers. Finding the right angle to begin your ascent is crucial since the main walls do not feature direct climbing ledges.
To scale this structure, position yourself opposite the main building and climb up the stack of cargo containers to access a metallic walkway. Once you are on this upper platform, run toward the nearby lamppost and perform a well-timed jump across the gap to land directly on the building's roof. Walk over to the final console near the satellite framework to complete the sabotage and secure your hard-earned Eridium rewards.
