In *Atomfall*, Atomic Batteries are not just crucial for advancing the storyline, but they also serve as a valuable asset for bartering. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire Atomic Batteries in *Atomfall*.

How To Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall

Securing Atomic Batteries and depositing them at The Interchange is key to progressing in *Atomfall*'s main story. Leads related to Atomic Batteries provide vital clues on where to find these coveted items. Here are the leads I've uncovered so far:

  • “A Fruitful Trade” - This lead reveals 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.
  • “Batteries and All” - Found in the sewers, this lead suggests that druids in Casterfell Woods might possess Atomic Batteries. Navigate southwest into the Druids’ Camp, find the door between two blue fire torches, and enter the Castle Ruins. The battery is near the High Priestess overlooking a valley.
  • “Battery Request at the Skethermoor Depot” - This lead directs you to the Skethermoor Vehicle Depot southeast of Skethermoor at coordinates 43.4 E, 74.6 N. Locate the blue hatch next to two greenhouses on a hill, enter, and clear out any Outlaws. Navigate to the room down and left from the entrance, climb into the room with the red light, and squeeze through a vent to obtain a key. Use the key to unlock the room containing the Atomic Battery. Remember to take Radiation Resistance before entering to survive long enough to retrieve the battery.
  • “Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar” - This lead is redundant if you've already acquired the Reverend's battery, as it mentions the same Atomic Battery sold to the man in St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village.
  • “Revered Got His Hands on a Battery” - A note from Alf points to the Atomic Battery in the Reverend’s possession at St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village. Inside, 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, where the battery is stored.
  • “Spare Batteries at the Dam” - This lead indicates Atomic Batteries at the Dam in northwest Casterfell Wood at coordinates 20.9 E, 90.9 N. The battery is in the Dam’s electrical area on the right side when facing the Dam. Enter the Control Room, go left, and pull the Substation Override lever until the right light turns red, powering down the area to safely retrieve the battery.

How To Extract Atomic Batteries from Robots in Atomfall

Extracting Atomic Batteries from Robots in Atomfall

In *Atomfall*, the Protocol utilizes large, dangerous, armored robots throughout the Zone, often guarding important areas or patrolling. These robots are powered by Atomic Batteries, which can be extracted if you disable the robot.

To do this effectively, target flamethrower-wielding robots from a distance using a rifle. Shoot at the red barrels to overheat the robot, stunning it. Then, 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 Xbox Game Pass.
