In the post-apocalyptic world of *Atomfall*, certain items you stumble upon can prove to be game-changers. One such critical item is the Signal Redirector, and obtaining it is no small feat. If you're having trouble tracking it down, here's a detailed guide to help you get the Signal Redirector.

The Signal Redirector is a unique tool in *Atomfall* that you won't find through regular means. Unlike the Metal Detector, which might be looted from corpses, the Signal Redirector is tied to a specific location and a key character in the game—Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist.

Your journey starts by picking up a lead in Wyndham Village about Dr. Garrow's whereabouts. From there, you'll embark on a mission to rescue her. Dr. Garrow is imprisoned deep within the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor, a place teeming with Protocol soldiers.

Navigating to Skethermoor is challenging. A smart approach is to first connect with Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village. By assisting him with tasks such as recovering stolen items, you can gain favor with the Protocol, making your infiltration smoother.

Once prepared, head to the Protocol prison camp located on the southern border of Skethermoor. The underground prison entrance is at the end of the southernmost road, marked by a giant green door.

Inside, the prison is a multi-level labyrinth. You'll need to navigate through each level, evading or eliminating guards and robots. Remember, you can disable B.A.R.D robots to collect their **Atomic Batteries**, essential for The Interchange.

Reach the bottom level, past the dig site area, where Dr. Garrow is confined in a standalone cell in the main room. To free her, you'll need the Signal Redirector, which is stored in the nearby Storage room on a shelf. Grabbing it will earn you the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.

The Signal Redirector, crafted by Dr. Garrow, serves as a hacking tool. It reroutes power within yellow junction boxes to different sources, allowing you to disable security systems or unlock storage rooms.

Similar to the Metal Detector, the Signal Redirector will alert you with an icon at the bottom of your screen when a hackable junction box is nearby. Follow the device's needle to locate the box, which will be highlighted when you're close enough.

To hack, select the 'Hack' button to reroute the power. If needed, you can reverse the hack by selecting the same option again.
