In *Atomfall*, Atomic Batteries are the cornerstone of gameplay, essential not only for advancing the story but also valuable in bartering for a strategic advantage. Here’s a detailed guide on how to acquire Atomic Batteries in *Atomfall*.
How To Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall
To progress through the main storyline in *Atomfall*, you need to locate and deposit Atomic Batteries at The Interchange. The game provides various Leads that guide you to these crucial items. Here are some of the most effective Leads I've discovered:
- “A Fruitful Trade”: This Lead points you to a Trader named Molly, located west of Wyndham Village. She possesses an Atomic Battery and is particularly interested in trading for Molotov Cocktails.
- “Batteries and All”: Found in the sewers, this Lead suggests that the druids in Casterfell Woods might have Atomic Batteries. Head southwest into the Druids’ Camp, navigate to the Castle Ruins past a door flanked by blue fire torches, and find the battery next to the High Priestess overlooking a valley.
- “Battery Request at the Skethermoor Depot”: This Lead directs you to the Skethermoor Vehicle Depot southeast of Skethermoor. Locate the blue hatch next to the greenhouses on the hill, enter, and navigate through the rooms to find the Atomic Battery. Don’t forget to take Radiation Resistance before entering to ensure your safety.
- “Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar”: This Lead can be ignored if you've already secured the Reverend’s battery, as it refers to the same item sold to the Vicar in St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village.
- “Revered Got His Hands on a Battery”: This note from Alf leads you to the Reverend in St. Katherine’s Church, who has an Atomic Battery. Use the bargaining option to blackmail him for the key to his chest, which contains the battery.
- “Spare Batteries at the Dam”: This Lead points to the Dam in the northwest of Casterfell Wood. Access the electrical area, pull the Substation Override lever in the Control Room to safely retrieve the Atomic Battery.
Can You Barter for Batteries in Atomfall? Answered
If finding Atomic Batteries proves challenging, bartering offers another route. Molly, and potentially other traders, may have batteries available for trade, with their inventory rotating periodically. When bartering, pay attention to the color-coded icons next to items: green indicates high desirability, yellow moderate, and red low. Experiment with different items to secure the best deal for an Atomic Battery.
How To Extract Atomic Batteries from Robots in Atomfall
In *Atomfall*, the Protocol's large, armored robots patrol the Zone, often guarding critical areas. These robots are powered by Atomic Batteries, which you can extract if you manage to disable them. The simplest method is targeting flamethrower-wielding robots from a distance with a rifle. Shoot the red barrels to overheat and stun the robot, then 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, providing players across multiple platforms the chance to dive into this engaging world and master the art of acquiring Atomic Batteries.
