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

How to Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall

To progress in the main story of *Atomfall*, you need to find and deposit Atomic Batteries at The Interchange. Fortunately, the game provides several Leads to help you locate these batteries. Here's a rundown of 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 available, and she particularly values Molotov Cocktails in trades.
• “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 two blue fire torches, enter the Castle Ruins, and find the battery next to the High Priestess overlooking a valley.
• “Battery Request at the Skethermoor Depot”: This Lead points to a battery in 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. Head to the room down and to the left from your entry point, climb into the room with the red light, and use a vent to access the next room where you'll find a key. Use the key to open a door on the right side of the main room to retrieve the Atomic Battery. Ensure you have Radiation Resistance to survive the extraction.
• “Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar”: This Lead can be ignored if you've already secured the Reverend's Atomic Battery. It indicates that Molly sold another battery to the vicar at St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village.
• “Revered Got His Hands on a Battery”: A note from Alf directs you to the Reverend's Atomic Battery at St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village. Upon entering, you'll find the Reverend covering up a murder. Use the bargaining option to stay silent and blackmail him for the key to his chest upstairs, where the battery is stored.
• “Spare Batteries at the Dam”: This Lead directs you to the Dam in Casterfell Wood, northwest at coordinates 20.9 E, 90.9 N. The Atomic Battery is in the electrical area on the right side of the Dam. Enter the Control Room, go left, and pull the Substation Override lever until the right light turns red, allowing you to safely retrieve the battery.

Can You Barter for Batteries in Atomfall? Answered

If you're struggling to find Atomic Batteries, bartering is another effective method. Molly offers an Atomic Battery in exchange, and other traders might also have them due to their rotating stock.

Different traders have preferences for certain items, indicated by green, yellow, or red icons when you offer an item for trade. Green signifies high preference, while red indicates low interest. Experimenting with various 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 large, deadly, armored robots across the Zone. These robots, often guarding important areas or patrolling, are powered by Atomic Batteries, which you can extract if you manage to disable them.

The most straightforward 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 from behind to extract the Atomic Battery.

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