In *Atomfall*, Atomic Batteries are the game's most crucial item. Not only are they essential for advancing the storyline, but having extra batteries can significantly boost your bartering power. Here’s a detailed guide on how to secure Atomic Batteries in *Atomfall*.
How To Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall
Progressing the main story in *Atomfall* hinges on finding and depositing Atomic Batteries at The Interchange. Fortunately, the game provides Leads that guide you to these batteries. Here are the 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 is known to favor Molotov Cocktails in trades, so bring some to barter for her Atomic Battery.
- “Batteries and All”: Found in the sewer, this Lead suggests that the druids in Casterfell Woods might possess Atomic Batteries. Head southwest into the Druids' Camp and navigate to a door flanked by blue fire torches. Inside the Castle Ruins, you'll find the battery next to the High Priestess overlooking a valley.
- “Battery Request at the Skethermoor Depot”: This Lead points to an Atomic Battery at the Skethermoor Vehicle Depot in the southeast at coordinates 43.4 E, 74.6 N. Look for a blue hatch next to two greenhouses on a hill. Enter, clear out any Outlaws, and find the key in a room with a red light. Use the key to open the room containing the Atomic Battery, but remember to take Radiation Resistance to survive the area.
- “Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar”: This Lead is useful only if you haven't already acquired 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 indicates that the Reverend in St. Katherine’s Church possesses an Atomic Battery. Upon entering, you'll find him covering up a murder. Use the bargaining option to promise silence in exchange for the key to his chest upstairs, where the battery awaits.
- “Spare Batteries at the Dam”: This Lead directs you to the Dam in Casterfell Wood at coordinates 20.9 E, 90.9 N. The battery is in the electrical area on the right side as you face the Dam. Enter the Control Room, pull the Substation Override lever until the right light turns red, then safely retrieve the Atomic Battery.
Can You Barter for Batteries in Atomfall? Answered
If locating Atomic Batteries proves challenging, bartering is a viable alternative. Molly offers an Atomic Battery in exchange for goods, and other traders may also have them available as their inventory rotates periodically. When bartering, traders indicate their preference for items with green, yellow, or red icons—green being the most favored. Experimenting with different items can lead to a more favorable trade for Atomic Batteries.
How To Extract Atomic Batteries from Robots in Atomfall
In *Atomfall*, the Protocol's lethal armored robots, often guarding critical areas or patrolling, are powered by Atomic Batteries. To extract these, target flamethrower-wielding robots from a distance with a rifle. Shoot nearby 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, offering players multiple platforms to explore and collect these vital Atomic Batteries.
