In the post-apocalyptic world of *Atomfall*, certain items you discover during your travels can be game-changers. One such crucial item is the Signal Redirector, but acquiring it isn't straightforward. If you're having trouble locating it, this guide will walk you through how to get the Signal Redirector in *Atomfall*.
Where to Find Signal Redirector in Atomfall
The Signal Redirector is a unique tool in *Atomfall* that you won't find easily. Unlike items like the Metal Detector, which might be found on traders or corpses, this tool is linked to a key character, Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist. Your journey starts after picking up a lead from Wyndham Village about her location. You'll then need to embark on a rescue mission to save her from the depths of the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor.
Reaching Skethermoor is challenging, as it's heavily guarded by Protocol soldiers. A smart approach is to first connect with Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village. By helping him with tasks like recovering stolen items, you can gain some favor with Protocol, making your infiltration smoother.
Once prepared, head to the Protocol prison camp on the southern border of Skethermoor. The underground prison's entrance is at the end of the southernmost road, behind a large green door. Navigating through the prison involves multiple levels, where you'll need to evade or confront guards and robots. Remember, you can disable B.A.R.D robots to obtain **Atomic Batteries**, which are essential for The Interchange.
Descend to the prison's bottom level, past the dig site area, where you'll find Dr. Garrow locked in a standalone cell. To free her, you must retrieve the Signal Redirector from the nearby Storage room, where it sits on a shelf. Upon obtaining it, you'll unlock the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.
How to Use Signal Redirector in Atomfall
The Signal Redirector, crafted by Dr. Garrow, serves as a hacking tool that reroutes power within yellow junction boxes to different sources. This can be invaluable for disabling security systems or unlocking storage rooms. Just like the Metal Detector, when the Signal Redirector is in your inventory, it will alert you with an icon at the bottom of your screen when a hackable junction box is nearby. Follow the needle's direction on the device to locate the box, which will be highlighted when you're close enough.
To hack, select the 'Hack' button to redirect the junction box's power. If needed, you can reverse the hack by selecting the same option again.
Utilizing the Signal Redirector will not only help you free Dr. Garrow but also advance her storyline if you choose to escape with her.
That wraps up how to obtain and use the Signal Redirector in *Atomfall*. For more tips and guides on the game, including how to redeem your pre-order bonuses, be sure to explore our other content.
