In *Atomfall*, Atomic Batteries are a crucial item for advancing the game's storyline. Not only are they essential for progression, but having extra batteries can significantly enhance your bartering capabilities. Here’s a detailed guide on how to acquire Atomic Batteries in *Atomfall*.
How To Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall
To progress in *Atomfall*, you need to find and deposit Atomic Batteries at The Interchange. Fortunately, the game provides Leads that offer clues on where to locate these batteries. Here are some of 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 has another battery available, and she particularly values Molotov Cocktails in trades.
- “Batteries and All”: Found in the sewers, this lead suggests that the druids might possess Atomic Batteries in their castle within Casterfell Woods, southwest of the area. Navigate through the camp to a door flanked by blue fire torches, and enter the Castle Ruins. The battery is near the High Priestess, who overlooks 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 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 access the room containing the Atomic Battery. Remember to take Radiation Resistance to survive the area.
- “Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar”: This lead indicates that Molly sold another battery to the vicar in St. Katherine’s Church, Wyndham Village. If you’ve already obtained the Reverend’s battery, you can skip this lead.
- “Revered Got His Hands on a Battery”: A note from Alf reveals that the Reverend has a 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 for the key to his chest upstairs, which holds the Atomic Battery.
- “Spare Batteries at the Dam”: This lead directs you 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 of 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 struggle to find Atomic Batteries through leads, bartering is another viable option. Molly offers a battery for trade, and other traders may have them as their inventory rotates. When bartering, traders indicate their preference for items with green, yellow, or red icons, with green being the most desirable. 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 massive, lethal, armored robots throughout the Zone. These robots, often guarding important areas or patrolling, are powered by Atomic Batteries that you can extract. To do so, attack flamethrower-wielding robots from a distance with a rifle, targeting the red barrels to overheat and stun them. Once stunned, approach and remove the Atomic Battery from their back.
*Atomfall* is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass.
