Propaganda towers are Banished-operated communications structures that broadcast propaganda.[1]
History
During the Installation 07 conflict, the Banished set up numerous propaganda towers on the ring, which were operated by an Unggoy communications officer. They constantly broadcasted taunting and demoralizing messages to the surviving UNSC personnel. These messages typically contained half-truths or outright lies (such as the Master Chief merely killed "four Grunts in an Escharum suit"), and occasionally the Unggoy officer would simply air some personal grievance instead.[1]
In-game information
John-117 has the option of destroying these towers, weakening the Banished's influence in the area and earning valor. There are a total of 40 towers on the map. Destroying all of them earns the player the Off The Air achievement.[1]
