Dying Light 2: Who to give the radio transmitter

The Broadcast radio transmitter choice in Dying Light 2 asks you to choose between Frank, Juan, or Matt to receive the VNC Tower radio. You'll have either been assisting Jack Matt with a plot to utilise the radio transmitter for the Peacekeepers or Juan in his spying on Jack prior to this. When Frank becomes engaged in Dying Light 2, things become even more entangled, making this a difficult option with far-reaching ramifications. Here's everything you need to know about the Dying Light 2 Broadcast storey quest's radio transmitter options.

Give the radio transmitter to Frank, Juan or Jack Matt in Dying Light 2?

The Broadcast mission in Dying Light 2 is a major one in the main storey, and it requires you to make a critical decision about who will control the radio transmitter in Villedor. As with the Dying Light 2 Water Tower choice, it ultimately comes down to a Peacekeepers vs Survivors decision, but it has far-reaching consequences much later in the storey and near the end of the game. Please be warned that this article contains some spoilers for the finale of Dying Light 2, so proceed with caution.

Note that Juan's involvement is contingent on prior Dying Light 2 Juan decisions made during the Welcome On Board quest, but we'll go through the ramifications of these choices in greater detail later. In brief, siding with Juan means you can deliver the radio transmitter to either Juan or Frank, however, if you sided with Jack Matt before, you can give the transmitter to either Jack or Frank instead of Juan.

You'll enter the VNC Tower with a squad of Peacekeepers and begin your climb after a lot of setups. Things clearly go wrong, leaving Aiden to climb the tower on his own and reach the radio transmitter. You'll get some guidance on reaching the top of the tower from the drunken Survivor has-been Frank along the way, and you'll even obtain a grappling hook.

Frank will be chatting to you over the radio as you near the summit and are about to make your decision on who to deliver the radio transmitter to. He'll tell you about his plan to establish a New Hope Radio for Villedor's Survivors and encourage you to consider it. Your earlier arrangements with either Jack Matt or Juan will be jeopardised now that this is fresh in your mind. You must now choose either Jack Matt, Juan, or Frank to deliver the radio transmitter to. This decision has an effect on the Dying Light 2 endings that you can earn.

Give the transmitter to Jack Matt

This option is only available if you chose to help Jack Matt during the Welcome On Board quest during a talk with Juan. If you took this route, you would have been sent to get some UV lamps for Jack Matt from a man named Demoulin before ascending the VNC Tower.

Giving the transmitter to Jack Matt immediately gives the Peacekeepers complete control of the radio, prompting propaganda to be broadcast across the city. Later on, you'll have to assist Jack in amplifying the signal by activating new antennae, which will lead to you tracking down a vital character later in the storey. When a missile strike is set to occur near the end of Dying Light 2, the Peacekeepers fail to use the transmitter to warn anyone, resulting in a large number of casualties.

Give the transmitter to Juan

You can only get this Dying Light 2 radio transmitter if you agreed to help Juan spy on Jack Matt during the Welcome On Board mission. Prior to climbing the tower, you will have met a former GRE scientist named Kurt as a result of your decision. As part of the Cathedral mission, Kurt will fix a bugging device for you.

Allowing Juan to take possession of the radio transmitter involves not only giving it to the Peacekeepers and Jack Matt but also planting Juan's bug, allowing him to spy on them. You'll watch the Peacekeepers utilising the radio to spout propaganda in the cutscene after you pick this choice, and then you'll see Juan looking quite pleased with himself.

Juan and the Peacekeepers are unable to warn the people of Villedor of the impending missile strike, just as they were unable to warn the people of Villedor of the impending missile strike when they gave Jack Matt control of the radio. As a result, many people die.

Give the transmitter to Frank

Regardless of your choices in prior missions, the option to give the radio transmitter to Frank is always accessible, so don't worry about missing this one. Following through on Frank's request will grant the Survivors control of the radio transmitter, allowing Frank to launch New Hope Radio.

Soon after, you'll be entrusted with increasing the signal's strength by activating more antennae, which will also take you to a vital figure later in the storey. Later, Frank is able to alert fellow Survivors of the coming missile strike using New Hope Radio, and they are able to flee with minimum losses.
