How To Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall
Finding and depositing Atomic Batteries within The Interchange is essential for advancing the main storyline in Atomfall. Fortunately, the game provides several leads that point to potential locations for these batteries. Here are some leads I've discovered:
"A Fruitful Trade": This lead indicates that the Reverend obtained his Atomic Battery from a trader named Molly, whose camp is located west of Wyndham Village. Molly has another battery, and she's particularly interested in trading for Molotov Cocktails.
"Batteries and All": Found in the sewer, this lead suggests that the druids might have Atomic Batteries in their castle in Casterfell Woods, southwest of the area. Navigate through the camp to a door flanked by two blue fire torches, which leads to the Castle Ruins. The battery is near a High Priestess overlooking a valley.
"Battery Request at the Skethermoor Depot": This lead points to a battery at the Skethermoor Vehicle Depot, southeast of Skethermoor at coordinates 43.4 E, 74.6 N. Look for a blue hatch near two greenhouses on a hill. Enter, clear out any Outlaws, and head to the room down and to the left from your entry point. Climb into the room with the red light, squeeze through a vent to another room, and use the key found there to open the room with the Atomic Battery. Remember to take Radiation Resistance to survive the environment.
"Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar": This lead reveals that another battery Molly had was sold to the Vicar at St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village. If you've already obtained the Reverend's battery, you can skip this.
"Revered Got His Hands on a Battery": A note from Alf hints at the Atomic Battery in the Reverend’s possession at St. Katherine’s Church. Upon entering, you'll find the Reverend covering up a murder. Use the bargaining option to stay silent and blackmail him for the key to his chest upstairs, where the battery is stored.
"Spare Batteries at the Dam": This lead points to batteries at the Dam in Casterfell Wood, northwest at coordinates 20.9 E, 90.9 N. The battery is in the Dam's electrical area on the right side. Enter the Control Room, go left, and pull the Substation Override lever until the light turns red, deactivating the electricity so you can safely retrieve the battery.
Can You Barter for Batteries in Atomfall? Answered
If you struggle to find Atomic Batteries, bartering is another option. Molly, for instance, has a battery you can trade for, and other traders might have them too, as their inventory rotates periodically.
When bartering, pay attention to the color-coded icons next to items: green indicates high preference, yellow moderate, and red low. Experimenting with different items can help secure a better deal for Atomic Batteries.
How To Extract Atomic Batteries from Robots in Atomfall
In Atomfall, the Protocol uses massive, lethal, armored robots throughout the Zone. These robots, often guarding key areas or simply patrolling, are powered by Atomic Batteries that you can claim.
The safest method to obtain these batteries is to target robots with flamethrowers from a distance using a rifle. Aim at the red barrels to overheat and stun the robot, then quickly approach to extract the Atomic Battery from its back.
Atomfall is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass.
