In *Atomfall*, Atomic Batteries are the game's most sought-after items. They're crucial for advancing the story, but having a few extra can significantly enhance your bartering power. Here's how to secure Atomic Batteries in *Atomfall*.
How To Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall
To progress the main storyline in *Atomfall*, you must find Atomic Batteries and deposit them at The Interchange. The game offers several Leads that guide you to their locations. Here are some of the most effective leads I've discovered:
- “A Fruitful Trade” - This Lead reveals that the Reverend obtained his Atomic Battery from a trader named Molly, located west of Wyndham Village. Molly has another battery and is particularly interested in trading for Molotov Cocktails.
- “Batteries and All” - Found in the sewer, this Lead points to the possibility of Atomic Batteries within the Druids’ Castle in Casterfell Woods, southwest of the area. Navigate through the camp to a door flanked by blue fire torches, enter the Castle Ruins, and locate the battery near the High Priestess overlooking a valley.
- “Battery Request at the Skethermoor Depot” - This Lead directs you to the Skethermoor Vehicle Depot in the southeast of Skethermoor at coordinates 43.4 E, 74.6 N. Look for a blue hatch next to two greenhouses on a hill. Inside, clear out any Outlaws, navigate to the main room, climb into the red-lit room, and use a vent to access a key. Use this key to unlock the room with the Atomic Battery, but ensure you have Radiation Resistance to survive the area.
- “Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar” - This Lead can be ignored if you've already obtained the Reverend’s battery. It mentions that Molly sold another battery to the Vicar at St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village.
- “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. Inside, you'll find the Reverend covering up a murder. By choosing the bargaining option and promising silence, you can blackmail him into giving you the key to his chest upstairs, where the Atomic Battery awaits.
- “Spare Batteries at the Dam” - This Lead reveals Atomic Batteries at the Dam in the northwest of Casterfell Wood at coordinates 20.9 E, 90.9 N. In the Dam’s electrical area, find the battery on the right side. Access the Control Room, pull the Substation Override lever until the right light turns red, and safely retrieve the battery without electrocution.
Can You Barter for Batteries in Atomfall? Answered
If finding Atomic Batteries proves challenging, consider bartering. Molly, for instance, has a battery you can trade for, and other traders may also have them due to their rotating inventory. Each trader has preferences, indicated by green, yellow, or red icons when you offer items. Green signifies high preference, while red indicates 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 deploys large, deadly, armored robots across the Zone, often guarding critical areas or patrolling. These robots are powered by Atomic Batteries, which you can claim by disabling them. The simplest method is to target flamethrower-wielding robots from afar with a rifle. Shoot the red barrels to overheat and stun the robot, then rush in to extract the Atomic Battery from its back.
*Atomfall* is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass, offering players multiple platforms to explore this engaging world and master the art of acquiring Atomic Batteries.
