How To Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall
To move forward in Atomfall's storyline, you must locate Atomic Batteries and deposit them at The Interchange. Leads are your best friend here, providing clues on where to find these batteries. Here are some leads I've discovered:
- "A Fruitful Trade" points to Reverend's source, a trader named Molly, located west of Wyndham Village. She has an extra battery and is particularly fond of Molotov Cocktails in trades.
- "Batteries and All" leads you to the sewers, hinting at batteries within the Druids’ Castle in Casterfell Woods, southwest of the area. Navigate through the camp to a door flanked by 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" directs you to the Skethermoor Vehicle Depot southeast at 43.4 E, 74.6 N. Look for a blue hatch near two greenhouses on a hill. Inside, clear out Outlaws, navigate to the room with the red light, and use a vent to access a key for the battery room. Remember to take Radiation Resistance before entering.
- "Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar" reveals another battery sold to the man in St. Katherine’s Church in Wyndham Village. This lead can be ignored if you've already obtained the Reverend’s battery.
- "Revered Got His Hands on a Battery" is a note from Alf about the Reverend's battery in St. Katherine’s Church. Inside, 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, which holds the battery.
- "Spare Batteries at the Dam" indicates batteries at the Dam in Casterfell Wood, northwest at 20.9 E, 90.9 N. In the electrical area, head to the Control Room, pull the Substation Override lever until the right light turns red, and safely retrieve the battery.
Can You Barter for Batteries in Atomfall? Answered

If you're struggling to find Atomic Batteries, bartering is another viable option. Molly, for instance, has a battery you can trade for, and other traders might have them too, as their inventory rotates periodically.
Traders have preferences, indicated by green, yellow, or red icons when you offer items. Green signifies high preference, while red indicates low. Experimenting with different items can help you secure a better deal when trading for batteries.
How To Extract Atomic Batteries from Robots in Atomfall

In Atomfall, the Protocol deploys formidable robots across the Zone, often guarding key areas or simply patrolling. These robots are powered by Atomic Batteries, which you can claim by disabling them.
The safest method involves targeting flamethrower-wielding robots from afar with a rifle. Aim at the red barrels to overheat and stun the robot, then quickly approach and extract the battery from its back.
Atomfall is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass.
