How To Find Atomic Batteries With Leads in Atomfall
Securing Atomic Batteries and depositing them at The Interchange is vital for progressing the main storyline in Atomfall. Fortunately, the game provides a Lead called "Atomic Batteries," which directs players to various locations where these batteries can be found. Here are the leads I've discovered so far:
- "A Fruitful Trade" discloses that the Reverend obtained his Atomic Battery from a trader named Molly, located west of Wyndham Village. Molly is known to have another battery and prefers Molotov Cocktails in trades.
- "Batteries and All" found in the sewer, indicates that the druids might possess Atomic Batteries within their castle in Casterfell Woods, situated deep in the Southwest of Casterfell Woods. Navigate through the camp to a door flanked by two blue fire torches, leading to the Castle Ruins. The battery is near a High Priestess overlooking a valley.
- "Battery Request at the Skethermoor Depot" points to a battery at the Skethermoor Vehicle Depot, southeast of Skethermoor at coordinates 43.4 E, 74.6 N. Locate a blue hatch next to two greenhouses on a hill, enter, and head to the main room. Clear out any Outlaws, then proceed down and left to a room with a red light. Use a vent to access the next room and find a key that unlocks the room containing the Atomic Battery. Don't forget to take Radiation Resistance to survive the area.
- "Molly Sold a Battery to the Vicar" mentions that Molly sold another battery to someone at 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 at St. Katherine’s Church. 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 Atomic Battery is stored.
- "Spare Batteries at the Dam" reveals batteries at the Dam in Casterfell Wood, northwest at coordinates 20.9 E, 90.9 N. The battery is in the electrical area on the right side of the Dam. Enter the Control Room, pull the Substation Override lever until the 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 offers another avenue. Molly, for instance, has a battery you can trade for, and other traders might have them due to their rotating inventory.
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 secure a better deal when trading for Atomic Batteries.
How To Extract Atomic Batteries from Robots in Atomfall

In Atomfall, the Protocol deploys large, deadly, armored robots across the Zone, often guarding key areas or patrolling. These robots are powered by Atomic Batteries, which you can claim by disabling them.
The most effective 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 and extract 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.
