How to Obtain Atomic Batteries in Atomfall: A Guide

In *Atomfall*, Atomic Batteries are not just crucial for story progression but also serve as a powerful tool for bartering. Having extra batteries can significantly enhance your trading power within the game. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire Atomic Batteries in *Atomfall*.

How To Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall

To advance the main storyline in *Atomfall*, you need to find and deposit Atomic Batteries at The Interchange. Leads within the game provide valuable clues on where to locate these batteries. Here are the leads I've discovered so far:

• “A Fruitful Trade” - This lead indicates that the Reverend obtained his Atomic Battery from a trader named Molly, located west of Wyndham Village. Molly has another battery and is particularly interested in trading for Molotov Cocktails.
• “Batteries and All” - Found in the sewer, this lead suggests that the druids might possess Atomic Batteries in their castle within Casterfell Woods, southwest of the area. Navigate through the camp to a door flanked by blue fire torches, and inside the Castle Ruins, you'll find a battery near a High Priestess overlooking a valley.
• “Battery Request at the Skethermoor Depot” - This lead points to a battery at the Skethermoor Vehicle Depot, southeast of Skethermoor at coordinates 43.4 E, 74.6 N. Enter via a blue hatch next to two greenhouses, clear out the Outlaws, and use a key found through a vent to access the room with the Atomic Battery. Don't forget to take Radiation Resistance to survive the extraction.
• “Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar” - This lead can be ignored if you've already obtained the Reverend's battery, as it indicates the other battery Molly had was sold to someone in St. Katherine’s Church, Wyndham Village.
• “Revered Got His Hands on a Battery” - A note from Alf hints at the Reverend's possession of an Atomic Battery in St. Katherine’s Church, Wyndham Village. Upon entering, you'll find the Reverend covering up a murder. Use the bargaining option to stay silent, blackmail him for the key to his chest upstairs, and claim the Atomic Battery.
• “Spare Batteries at the Dam” - This lead reveals batteries at the Dam in Casterfell Wood, northwest at coordinates 20.9 E, 90.9 N. In the Dam's electrical area, pull the Substation Override lever in the Control Room to power down the electricity and safely retrieve the battery.

Can You Barter for Batteries in Atomfall? Answered

If locating Atomic Batteries proves challenging, consider bartering as an alternative method. Molly, for instance, has a battery available for trade, and other traders might also carry them, as their inventory rotates periodically.

Traders have specific preferences for items, indicated by icons: green for high preference, yellow for moderate, and red for low. Experimenting with different items during bartering can lead to better deals, especially when aiming to trade for Atomic Batteries.

How To Extract Atomic Batteries from Robots in Atomfall

In *Atomfall*, the Protocol deploys massive, lethal, armored robots across the Zone, often guarding key areas or patrolling. These robots are powered by Atomic Batteries, which you can extract if you manage to disable them.

The most effective strategy is to attack flamethrower-wielding robots from a distance using a rifle. Target the red barrels to overheat and stun the robot, then quickly 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.
