In *Atomfall*, Atomic Batteries are not just pivotal for advancing through the storyline but also serve as a strategic asset in bartering. Having extra batteries can significantly enhance your trading power. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to secure Atomic Batteries in *Atomfall*.
How To Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall
To progress in *Atomfall*'s main story, you'll need to find Atomic Batteries and deposit them at The Interchange. The game provides several Leads that hint at their locations. Here's what I've discovered:
- “A Fruitful Trade”: This Lead indicates that the Reverend obtained his Atomic Battery from Molly, a trader located west of Wyndham Village. Molly has another battery and is particularly fond of Molotov Cocktails in trades.
- “Batteries and All”: Found in the sewers, this Lead suggests that the druids in Casterfell Woods possess Atomic Batteries. Head southwest into the Druids' Camp, navigate to the Castle Ruins past a door flanked by blue fire torches. The battery lies next to 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 proceed to the room on the left, where a key awaits in a room with a red light. Use the key to access the room with the Atomic Battery. Remember to take Radiation Resistance to survive the area.
- “Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar”: This Lead reveals that Molly sold another battery to the Vicar at St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village. This can be ignored if you've already secured the Reverend’s battery.
- “Revered Got His Hands on a Battery”: A note from Alf points to the Reverend's Atomic Battery at St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village. Upon entering, you'll find the Reverend covering up a murder. Use the bargaining option to stay silent, and he'll give you the key to his chest upstairs, which contains the Atomic Battery.
- “Spare Batteries at the Dam”: This Lead discloses Atomic Batteries at the Dam in northwest Casterfell Wood at coordinates 20.9 E, 90.9 N. In the Dam’s electrical area, pull the Substation Override lever in the Control Room until the light turns red, allowing you to safely retrieve the battery.
Can You Barter for Batteries in Atomfall? Answered
If locating Atomic Batteries proves challenging, consider bartering. Molly offers a battery in exchange for goods, and other traders may have them as their inventory rotates. 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 secure a better deal for Atomic Batteries.
How To Extract Atomic Batteries from Robots in Atomfall
In *Atomfall*, the Protocol deploys large, armored robots across the Zone, often guarding key areas or patrolling. These robots are powered by Atomic Batteries, which you can extract if you disable them. The most effective 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.
