Can they be used to reveal more of the map? and if so, how?

They are just decoy for now, i think. But i would love so much that they had more uses.

A simple use for the moment would be adding an option to do an action where you ‘climb up’ them, and the game would pass an hour or so, then reveal a big chunk of map centered on the tower before depositing you back at its base.

I think you can hear different radio stations when near them but nothing interesting otherwise

Radio towers (and some other things) continuously transmit a predetermined radio message you can pick up with a radio. You can determine direction to the transmitter with a directional antenna. One of the broadcasts is a weather radio station that gives accurate-ish weather forecasts.

I should totally put a “pile of straw” next to the tower, give you a “climb” command to get to the top, and a “leap from tower” command once you’re at the top.

And kill you when you jump into the pile of straw, because that’s not enough to protect you from a fall from that height.

If Jason Brody can do it, I don’t see why I can’t too.

Also, GPS.

Right now, damnit.
