How To Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall

Finding and depositing Atomic Batteries at The Interchange is crucial for progressing the main storyline in Atomfall. The game provides several Leads that guide players to these essential items. Here are some effective methods I've discovered:

• "A Fruitful Trade" suggests that the Reverend obtained his Atomic Battery from a trader named Molly, located west of Wyndham Village. Molly has another battery and prefers Molotov Cocktails in trades, so prepare these for a successful barter.

• "Batteries and All" leads you to the sewers, hinting that druids might possess Atomic Batteries in their castle within Casterfell Woods. Navigate southwest through the camp to find a door flanked by blue fire torches, leading to the Castle Ruins. Inside, the battery awaits next to a High Priestess overlooking a valley.

• "Battery Request at the Skethermoor Depot" points to the Skethermoor Vehicle Depot in the southeast at coordinates 43.4 E, 74.6 N. Look for a blue hatch near two greenhouses on a hill. Clear out any Outlaws, find the key through a vent in a room with a red light, and use it to access the room with the Atomic Battery. Ensure you have Radiation Resistance to survive the retrieval.

• "Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar" can be ignored if you've already secured the Reverend’s battery, as it indicates another battery was sold to the vicar at St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village.

• "Revered Got His Hands on a Battery" involves a note from Alf about the Reverend's battery. Enter St. Katherine’s Church, where you'll find the Reverend covering up a murder. Use the bargaining option to stay silent and blackmail him for the key to his upstairs chest, which contains the Atomic Battery.

• "Spare Batteries at the Dam" directs you to the Dam in the northwest of Casterfell Wood at 20.9 E, 90.9 N. In the Dam’s electrical area, pull the Substation Override lever in the Control Room to safely power down the area and retrieve the Atomic Battery.

Can You Barter for Batteries in Atomfall? Answered

If you struggle to find Atomic Batteries, bartering is a viable alternative. Molly offers a battery in exchange for goods, and other traders might have them as their inventory rotates periodically. When bartering, pay attention to the color-coded icons: green indicates high preference, yellow moderate, and red low. Experimenting with different items can help you secure a better deal for Atomic Batteries.

How To Extract Atomic Batteries from Robots in Atomfall

In Atomfall, the Protocol's lethal, armored robots patrol the Zone and are powered by Atomic Batteries. To obtain these batteries, focus on robots equipped with flamethrowers. Use a rifle to shoot nearby red barrels, causing the robot to overheat and become stunned. Quickly approach the robot from behind to extract the Atomic Battery.
