In the post-apocalyptic world of *Atomfall*, certain items can significantly enhance your survival and gameplay experience. One of these crucial items is the Signal Redirector. Obtaining it is a challenge, but with this guide, you'll know exactly how to secure this valuable tool.
Where to Find Signal Redirector in Atomfall
The Signal Redirector is not something you'll stumble upon casually. It's not available from traders or found on any random corpse, unlike the Metal Detector. Instead, it's located in a specific place connected to one of the game's key characters, Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist.
Your journey begins by picking up a lead from Wyndham Village about Dr. Garrow's whereabouts. From there, you must embark on a rescue mission to save her from the depths of the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor.
Reaching the prison camp is a daunting task, as it's heavily guarded by Protocol soldiers. To ease your infiltration, consider meeting Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village. By assisting him with tasks such as retrieving stolen items, you can gain favor with Protocol, at least temporarily.
When you're ready, head to the Protocol prison camp situated at the southernmost edge of Skethermoor. The entrance to the underground prison is at the end of the southern road, marked by a large green door.
Navigating the prison involves descending through multiple levels, evading or neutralizing guards and robots. Remember, you can disable B.A.R.D robots to collect **Atomic Batteries**, essential for The Interchange.
Reach the bottom level, past the dig site area, where Dr. Garrow is held in a standalone cell in the main room. To free her, you'll need the Signal Redirector, which is stored in a nearby Storage room on a shelf. Once you obtain it, you'll earn the **'Reverse the Polarity' trophy/achievement**.
How to Use Signal Redirector in Atomfall
The Signal Redirector, crafted by Dr. Garrow, serves as a hacking tool that reroutes power within yellow junction boxes to different sources. This capability is invaluable for disabling security systems or unlocking storage rooms.
Similar to the Metal Detector, the Signal Redirector will alert you with an icon at the bottom of your screen when you're near a hackable junction box. Follow the needle's direction on the device to locate it, and once close enough, the junction box will be highlighted.
Use the 'Hack' button to redirect the power. If necessary, you can reverse this action by hacking the junction box again.
This tool is essential for freeing Dr. Garrow from her cell and progressing her storyline, should you choose to escape with her.
That wraps up our guide on how to get and use the Signal Redirector in *Atomfall*. For more tips and tricks, including how to redeem your pre-order bonuses, be sure to explore our other content on the game.
