Easy Delivery Co.: Radio Tower Progression and Hydro Dam Guide

There are exactly three radio towers in Easy Delivery Co., and they are not collectibles. Reactivating all three is the story gate that unlocks the EasyCo security gate into Fishing Town, which is the only way to reach the EasyCo Hydro Dam. If you are stuck staring at a locked fence near the dam, the problem is upstream: you have not lit up all three towers yet.

The short version

• There are three radio towers, located in or near Upton, Lopton, and Easton (Easton is the Mountain Town area).
• All three must be reactivated. Doing so opens the EasyCo security gate into Fishing Town.
• There is no fixed mandatory order — activate them in whatever order your route makes convenient. The dam approach simply has to come after all three.
• Snow tires are required for the snow-covered high routes (including the climb near the Upton tower) and the Snowy Peaks roads.
• The Bumper Bar is required at the Hydro Dam — you ram the locked fence gates with it. Snow tires alone will not open the dam.
• The Hydro Dam sits in Fishing Town between Damton and Smoltown (Smalton), reached via routes through Clifton, Damton, and Smoltown.

What the radio towers actually do

Reactivating the three radio stations is a progression unlock, not a checklist for completionists. Once all three are back online, the EasyCo security gate that walls off Fishing Town opens, and Fishing Town is where the Hydro Dam route begins. That is the whole mechanic: three towers, one gate, then the road network past it. The dam is a story beat, so it also slots into our full story walkthrough. If a town or region feels permanently closed off, you are almost certainly missing a tower.

Because all three are mandatory and order does not matter, treat them as a set rather than a sequence. Plan a loop that takes you through Upton, Lopton, and Easton with the fewest backtracks, and tick each one off as you pass through.

The three tower locations

Here is the concrete set you need to clear before the dam is reachable.

• Upton tower (Mountain Town high route): sits on the snowy upper roads. The climb to it needs snow tires, and the same high route is where you will find a bobblehead/snowcat that also requires snow tires — so refit before you attempt this one.
• Lopton tower: the second of the three story radio towers. Activate it on the same map sweep as the others.
• Easton tower (Mountain Town area): the Easton-side tower. None of the three is harder than the others by rule; difficulty comes from the terrain you cross to reach each.

There is no extra “bonus” tower and no early cluster of optional towers — three is the full count, and all three are required. For a per-tower breakdown, see our full radio tower location guide.

Gear you need before the dam: it is not just snow tires

The single most common mistake is assuming snow tires unlock everything. They do not. The upgrades split by job:

• Snow tires: required for the Snowy Peaks high routes and any snow-covered road, including the climb to the Upton-area tower. Without them you will lose traction and stall on the upper grades.
• Bumper Bar: required at the Hydro Dam itself. The dam approach is gated by locked fence gates that you break through by ramming them with the Bumper Bar. No Bumper Bar means no dam, no matter how good your tires are.
• Ice Chains: required for the frozen-lake factory crossing. This is a separate gate from the dam — if a crossing is over ice rather than snow, chains are the tool, not snow tires.

So the honest checklist is: snow tires to reach the high towers, then the Bumper Bar specifically to open the dam. Carry the right tool for the surface in front of you.

The Hydro Dam route through Fishing Town

Once all three towers are active and the security gate opens, the Hydro Dam lives in Fishing Town. The relevant anchor towns are Clifton, Damton, and Smoltown (Smalton), and the dam itself sits between Damton and Smoltown. If you are unsure where Fishing Town connects, our town and main-route map lays out the network. You reach it by routing through these towns rather than by driving at the structure in a straight line.

1. Confirm all three radio towers (Upton, Lopton, Easton) are reactivated so the EasyCo security gate into Fishing Town is open.
2. Fit the Bumper Bar before you head for the dam — you will need it to ram the locked fence gates on the approach.
3. Route through Fishing Town toward Damton and Smoltown; the dam sits between those two.
4. Use the Bumper Bar to break the gate barriers blocking the final approach.

If the fence will not open, you are not missing a turn — you are missing the Bumper Bar. If Fishing Town is unreachable entirely, you are missing a tower.

Common mistakes

• Driving straight at the dam: the gate is locked. You ram it with the Bumper Bar; there is no clever line that skips that step.
• Relying on snow tires alone: tires get you up the mountain to the towers, but the dam gate needs the Bumper Bar and ice crossings need Ice Chains.
• Hunting for a “fourth” tower: there are three. Once Upton, Lopton, and Easton are lit, the set is complete.
• Assuming a strict tower order: there is no enforced sequence — only the rule that all three precede the dam.
• Trying to reach Fishing Town early: the security gate stays shut until every tower is active, so finish the towers first.

Practical takeaway

Treat the radio towers as one gate split into three switches. Light up Upton, Lopton, and Easton in any order — snow tires on for the high climbs — and the EasyCo security gate into Fishing Town opens. From there, fit the Bumper Bar, route through Damton and Smoltown, and ram the dam’s locked gates to finish the approach. Get the count and the gear right and the Hydro Dam stops being a guessing game.
