How To Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall
To advance the main storyline in *Atomfall*, you must locate and deposit Atomic Batteries at The Interchange. Fortunately, the game provides various Leads that guide you to these crucial items. Here are some of the most effective methods I've discovered:
- **"A Fruitful Trade"**: This Lead discloses that the Reverend acquired his Atomic Battery from Molly, a trader whose camp lies west of Wyndham Village. Molly has another battery available for trade, and she particularly values Molotov Cocktails in exchanges.
- **"Batteries and All"**: Found in the sewer, this Lead suggests that the druids might possess Atomic Batteries in their castle within Casterfell Woods. The castle is nestled deep in the southwest part of Casterfell Woods. Navigate through the camp to a door flanked by two blue fire torches, leading to the Castle Ruins. The battery awaits next to 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 beside two greenhouses on a hill. Enter, clear out any Outlaws, and proceed to the main room. From there, head left, climb into the room with the red light, and squeeze through the vent to find a key. Use this key to access the room with the Atomic Battery. Remember to take Radiation Resistance to withstand the environment.
- **"Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar"**: If you haven't already obtained the Reverend's battery, this Lead informs you that Molly sold another to the Vicar at St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village.
- **"Revered Got His Hands on a Battery"**: A note from Alf leads you to the Reverend's Atomic Battery in St. Katherine’s Church, Wyndham Village. Upon entering, you'll find the Reverend covering up a murder. By promising silence, you can blackmail him for the key to his chest upstairs, which holds the Atomic Battery.
- **"Spare Batteries at the Dam"**: This Lead reveals Atomic Batteries at the Dam in Casterfell Wood, northwest at 20.9 E, 90.9 N. The battery is located in the Dam's electrical area on the right side when facing the Dam. Enter the Control Room, pull the Substation Override lever until the light turns red to safely retrieve the battery.

If you're struggling to find Atomic Batteries, bartering is a viable alternative.

When trading, items are marked with a green, yellow, or red icon, indicating the trader's preference level, with green being the most favored. Experimenting with different items can help secure a better deal when trading for Atomic Batteries.
How To Extract Atomic Batteries from Robots in Atomfall
In *Atomfall*, the Protocol deploys formidable, armored robots across the Zone, often guarding critical areas or patrolling. These robots are powered by Atomic Batteries, which you can claim by disabling them. The safest method involves targeting flamethrower-wielding robots from a distance with a rifle. Aim for the red barrels to overheat and stun the robot, then quickly approach to extract the Atomic Battery from its back.
*Atomfall* is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and through Xbox Game Pass, offering players a variety of platforms to explore this engaging world.
