In *Atomfall*, Atomic Batteries are a pivotal item for not just advancing the storyline but also for gaining a significant 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

Progressing through the main story in *Atomfall* requires you to find and deposit Atomic Batteries at The Interchange. Fortunately, Leads provide valuable clues on where to locate these batteries. Here are some effective Leads I've discovered:

• “A Fruitful Trade”: This Lead discloses that the Reverend obtained his Atomic Battery from a Trader named Molly, located west of Wyndham Village. Molly has another battery and is particularly keen on 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, situated deep in the southwest part of the woods. Navigate through the camp to a door flanked by two blue fire torches, leading to the Castle Ruins. The battery is near the High Priestess, who overlooks a valley.
• “Battery Request at the Skethermoor Depot”: This Lead points to a battery at the Skethermoor Vehicle Depot in the southeast of Skethermoor at coordinates 43.4 E, 74.6 N. Look for a blue hatch near two greenhouses on a hill. After entering and clearing out any Outlaws, find the key in a room with a red light and use it to access the room containing the Atomic Battery. Don't forget to take Radiation Resistance to survive the extraction.
• “Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar”: This Lead reveals that Molly sold another battery to the vicar at St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village. If you’ve already obtained the Reverend’s battery, you can skip this Lead.
• “Revered Got His Hands on a Battery”: A note from Alf indicates the Reverend at St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village has a battery. Upon entering the church, you can blackmail the Reverend into handing over the key to his chest, which contains the Atomic Battery, by promising silence about a murder he's trying to cover up.
• “Spare Batteries at the Dam”: This Lead directs you to the Dam in the northwest of Casterfell Wood at coordinates 20.9 E, 90.9 N. The battery is in the electrical area on the ground to the right when facing the dam. Enter the Control Room, pull the Substation Override lever until the light turns red, and safely retrieve the battery without getting electrocuted.

Can You Barter for Batteries in Atomfall? Answered

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

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 preference. 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 numerous formidable armored robots throughout the Zone, often guarding crucial areas or patrolling freely. These robots are powered by Atomic Batteries, which you can claim if you manage to disable them.

The most effective method to do this is by targeting robots equipped with flamethrowers from a safe distance using a rifle. Aim at the red barrels to overheat the robot until it's stunned, then approach and extract the Atomic Battery from its back.

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