Deployable Beacon

Deployable Beacon is a nameable positional marker item that can be placed in the game world. Unlike ordinary markers or indicators, the beacon is not affected by conventional occlusion: once placed and named, it registers as a persistent point of interest that remains valid even when the surrounding geometry would normally block line of sight or hide standard markers.

The primary purpose of the Deployable Beacon is to provide a reliable reference location for navigation, objective marking, and coordination. Because it ignores typical occlusion rules, it can be used to mark positions behind walls, inside enclosed spaces, under overhangs, or on the far side of terrain features where other markers would be suppressed or hidden. The item is nameable, allowing players to attach a short identifier to the beacon so teammates can quickly recognize its purpose (for example: “rally,” “loot,” “sniper,” or a custom label).

Practical notes and interactions:

• Placement: the beacon is placed at a chosen world position and registers as that exact coordinate; it functions even if the placement is within areas that would normally block markers.
• Visibility: because it is not subject to occlusion, the beacon remains discoverable by systems that query marker positions; use it to mark objectives or hazards that are otherwise out of sight.
• Naming: give each beacon a concise, descriptive name to improve clarity during communication and reduce ambiguity when multiple beacons exist.
• Team use: Deployable Beacon is useful for directing teammates to enclosed rooms, underground areas, or behind cover where standard waypointing fails; it works well as a rally point, extraction marker, or to flag high-value loot sites.
• Strategic considerations: rely on the beacon for persistent reference rather than temporary signals; place it where teammates can safely reach it or where it accurately represents an objective location.
• Limitations: the beacon’s defining trait is its immunity to occlusion; other attributes (duration, number of simultaneous beacons, interaction mechanics) depend on the game’s broader item rules and should be confirmed in the game’s item or multiplayer documentation.

Because the Deployable Beacon functions as a robust, nameable anchor in the world coordinate system, it is primarily used to improve spatial awareness and team coordination in situations where normal visual markers are unreliable.
