In *Atomfall*, Atomic Batteries are the cornerstone of the game, essential for advancing the storyline and offering a significant advantage in bartering when you have extras. Here's a detailed 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 crucial for progressing through the main story of *Atomfall*. Fortunately, the game provides various Leads that guide players to potential locations of these batteries. Here are the Leads I've discovered so far:

• “A Fruitful Trade” - This Lead reveals that the Reverend obtained his Atomic Battery from a Trader named Molly, whose camp is located west of Wyndham Village. Molly has another battery available for barter, 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 within their castle in Casterfell Woods. The castle is situated deep within the Druids’ Camp in southwest Casterfell Woods. Navigate through the camp to a door flanked by two blue fire torches, leading into the Castle Ruins. The battery is near a 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. Look for a blue hatch next to two greenhouses on a hill. Enter and head down to the main room, clear out any Outlaws, and proceed to the room on the left. Climb into the room with the red light, navigate through the vent, and find a key to unlock the room with the Atomic Battery. Ensure you have Radiation Resistance before entering 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. If you've already obtained the Reverend’s battery, you can bypass this Lead.
• “Revered Got His Hands on a Battery” - A note from Alf reveals that the Reverend has an Atomic Battery in St. Katherine’s Church, Wyndham Village. Upon entering, you'll find the Reverend covering up a murder. By choosing to stay silent, you can blackmail him for the key to his chest upstairs, which contains the battery.
• “Spare Batteries at the Dam” - This Lead directs you to Atomic Batteries at the Dam in northwest Casterfell Wood at coordinates 20.9 E, 90.9 N. The battery is in the electrical area on the right side of the Dam. Access the Control Room, go left, and pull the Substation Override lever until the light turns red, allowing you to safely retrieve the battery.

Can You Barter for Batteries in Atomfall? Answered

If finding Atomic Batteries proves challenging, bartering is a viable alternative. Molly offers a battery for trade, and other traders may have them in their rotating stock. When trading, items are marked with icons: green indicates high preference, yellow moderate, and red low. Experimenting with different items can maximize your bartering success for Atomic Batteries.

How To Extract Atomic Batteries from Robots in Atomfall

In *Atomfall*, the Protocol deploys massive, lethal robots across the Zone, often guarding key areas but also patrolling randomly. These robots are powered by Atomic Batteries, which you can extract if you manage to disable them. The best approach is to target flamethrower-wielding robots from a distance with a rifle, shooting red barrels to overheat and stun the robot. Once stunned, approach and remove the Atomic Battery from its back.

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