How To Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall

Finding and depositing Atomic Batteries in The Interchange is key to moving forward in Atomfall's main story. Fortunately, there's a Lead called "Atomic Batteries" that provides several clues on where to locate them. Here are some of the leads I've discovered:

  • "A Fruitful Trade" indicates that the Reverend obtained his Atomic Battery from a trader named Molly, whose camp is west of Wyndham Village. She has another battery available, and she's particularly fond of trading for Molotov Cocktails.
  • "Batteries and All" found in the sewer, hints that the druids might have Atomic Batteries in their castle within Casterfell Woods, southwest of the area. Navigate through the camp to a door flanked by blue fire torches, enter the Castle Ruins, and find the battery next to the High Priestess overlooking a valley.
  • "Battery Request at the Skethermoor Depot" points to a battery at the Skethermoor Vehicle Depot, southeast of Skethermoor at coordinates 43.4 E, 74.6 N. Locate a blue hatch near two greenhouses on a hill, enter, and clear out any Outlaws. Head to the main room, go down and left to a room with a red light, and use a vent to reach a key that unlocks the room containing the Atomic Battery. Remember to take Radiation Resistance before entering.
  • "Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar" reveals that Molly sold another battery to the Vicar at St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village. You can ignore this lead if you've already obtained the Reverend’s battery.
  • "Revered Got His Hands on a Battery" is a note from Alf that clues you into the Reverend’s 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 promise silence and blackmail him for the key to his chest upstairs, which contains the Atomic Battery.
  • "Spare Batteries at the Dam" indicates batteries at a dam in Casterfell Wood, northwest at coordinates 20.9 E, 90.9 N. Find the battery in the dam's electrical area on the right side when facing it. Enter the Control Room, go left, and pull the Substation Override lever until the right light turns red, allowing you to safely retrieve the battery.

Different traders have preferences for items, indicated by green, yellow, or red icons when trading. Green signifies high preference, while red indicates low interest. Experimenting with different items can help you secure a better deal when bartering for Atomic Batteries.

How To Extract Atomic Batteries from Robots in Atomfall

In Atomfall, the Protocol uses large, dangerous armored robots to guard important areas and patrol the Zone. These robots are powered by Atomic Batteries, which you can extract if you manage to disable them.

The best approach is to target robots equipped with flamethrowers from a distance using a rifle. Aim at the red barrels to overheat and stun the robot, then quickly approach and remove the Atomic Battery from its back.

Atomfall is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and through Xbox Game Pass.
