"Guide to Obtaining Atomic Batteries in Atomfall"

In Atomfall, Atomic Batteries are crucial not just for advancing the storyline but also for gaining a strategic advantage in bartering. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire Atomic Batteries in Atomfall.

How To Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall

Securing and depositing Atomic Batteries at The Interchange is pivotal for progressing the main storyline in Atomfall. Fortunately, there's a Lead called Atomic Batteries that offers various clues on their locations. Here are the leads I've discovered:

"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 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 within their castle in Casterfell Woods, southwest of the area. Navigate through the camp to a door flanked by two blue fire torches, enter the Castle Ruins, and find the battery beside 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. Locate a blue hatch near two greenhouses on a hill, enter, and clear out any Outlaws. Proceed to the main room, climb into the room with the red light, and use a vent to access a key that unlocks the room containing the Atomic Battery. Ensure you have Radiation Resistance to safely retrieve the battery.
"Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar": This lead indicates that Molly sold another battery to the vicar at St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village. You can skip this lead if you've already acquired the Reverend’s battery.
"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. Inside the church, you'll find the Reverend attempting to cover up a murder. By promising silence, you can blackmail him for the key to his upstairs chest, which holds 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. The battery is in the Dam’s electrical area on the right side. Enter the Control Room, pull the Substation Override lever until the right light turns red, and safely retrieve the battery.

Can You Barter for Batteries in Atomfall? Answered

If you're struggling to find Atomic Batteries, bartering is another viable option. Molly has an Atomic Battery available for trade, and other traders might also have them, as their inventory rotates periodically.

Traders have varying preferences for items. When offering items for trade, look for green, yellow, or red icons, which signify the trader's interest level, with green indicating the highest preference. Experimenting with different items before finalizing a trade can help you secure a better deal for Atomic Batteries.

How To Extract Atomic Batteries from Robots in Atomfall

In Atomfall, the Protocol deploys numerous formidable armored robots across the Zone, often guarding critical areas or patrolling randomly. These robots are powered by Atomic Batteries, which you can claim by disabling them.

The most effective method is to target flamethrower-wielding robots from a distance using a rifle. Shoot the red barrels to overheat and stun the robot, then quickly approach and extract the Atomic Battery from its back.

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