How To Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall
To advance the main storyline in Atomfall, players must find and deposit Atomic Batteries at The Interchange. Fortunately, the game provides several Leads that guide players to these valuable items. Here are the Leads I've discovered so far:
"A Fruitful Trade" indicates that the Reverend obtained his Atomic Battery from a trader named Molly, located west of Wyndham Village. Molly has another battery available for trade, and she particularly values Molotov Cocktails.
"Batteries and All" can be found in the sewer and hints that the druids in Casterfell Woods possess Atomic Batteries. Head southwest into the Druids’ Camp to reach the Castle Ruins. Look for a door flanked by two blue fire torches; inside, near the High Priestess overlooking a valley, you'll find the battery.
"Battery Request at the Skethermoor Depot" points to a battery at the Skethermoor Vehicle Depot, southeast of Skethermoor at coordinates 43.4 E, 74.6 N. Enter through the blue hatch next to the greenhouses on the hill. Clear out any Outlaws, navigate to the room with the red light, and use the vent to access the key for the battery room. Remember to take Radiation Resistance to survive the retrieval.
"Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar" reveals that another of Molly's batteries was sold to the Vicar at St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village. This Lead can be ignored if you've already secured the Reverend’s battery.
"Revered Got His Hands on a Battery" is a note from Alf about the Reverend’s Atomic Battery in St. Katherine’s Church. Inside the church, you'll find the Reverend covering up a murder. Use the bargaining option to blackmail him into giving you the key to his upstairs chest, where the battery is stored.
"Spare Batteries at the Dam" directs players to the Dam in Casterfell Wood, northwest at coordinates 20.9 E, 90.9 N. The battery is in the electrical area on the right side when facing the Dam. Enter the Control Room, pull the Substation Override lever until the right light turns red, and safely retrieve the battery.
Can You Barter for Batteries in Atomfall? Answered
If you're struggling to find Atomic Batteries, bartering is another viable option. Molly and other traders in Atomfall may have batteries available, as their inventory rotates periodically. When trading, items are marked with green, yellow, or red icons, indicating trader preference. Green signifies high preference, while red indicates low. Experimenting with different items can help you secure a better deal for Atomic Batteries.
How To Extract Atomic Batteries from Robots in Atomfall
In Atomfall, the Protocol uses heavily armored robots throughout the Zone, often guarding key areas or patrolling. These robots are powered by Atomic Batteries, which you can extract if you disable them. The best method is to target flamethrower-wielding robots from a distance with a rifle. Shoot the red barrels to overheat and stun the robot, then quickly approach and remove the Atomic Battery from its back.
Atomfall is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass.
