A Receiver is a stationary object across various buildings in Episode 3: Crossroads Elegy and Episode 4: Fury, Then Silence in Wintermute. They occasionally ring for the player, allowing them to receive a phone call as a type of cutscene. They do not appear in Survival Mode.
Episode 3[]
Molly frequently calls Astrid Greenwood throughout the episode, with Astrid eventually asking how Molly knows where to call to. Molly reveals that all phone lines in Pleasant Valley are on a party line, and that she merely needs to wait for Astrid to pick up the phone.
Molly calls Astrid several times via phone Receivers in:
- Pleasant Valley Farmstead
- Barn (Molly's)
- Community Hall
- A burned down house near the Crash Site (Pleasant Valley)
- Signal Hill
Episode 4[]
Will Mackenzie is occasionally called by Jace over the phone as he performs tasks for Mathis and his gang of Convicts, with Jace feeding Mackenzie information on how to sabotage Mathis' plans. The phones in Blackrock appear to be on a party line much like the ones in Pleasant Valley. Several Receivers can be found in:
- The Infirmary ward of Blackrock Prison
- Power Plant
- Last Prospect
- The Warden's Office at Blackrock Prison
Trivia[]
Mathis may have been listening in on the phone calls between Jace and Mackenzie during Episode 4, explaining how he knew where to find the spy messing with his operations.
