In the post-apocalyptic world of Atomfall, certain items prove vital for survival. The Signal Redirector is one such tool, but acquiring it is no simple feat. If you’re struggling to locate it, this guide will walk you through the steps to obtain the Signal Redirector.
Locating the Signal Redirector in Atomfall
The Signal Redirector is a unique device in Atomfall, not available through traders or found on random corpses, unlike the Metal Detector. It’s located in a specific spot tied to a key character, Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist.
After receiving a lead in Wyndham Village about Dr. Garrow’s location, you’ll need to rescue her. She’s held captive deep within the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor.
Reaching the prison is tough, as the area is swarming with Protocol soldiers. To ease your infiltration, first meet Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village. Assist him with tasks like retrieving stolen goods to gain favor with the Protocol faction temporarily.
When prepared, head to the Protocol prison camp on Skethermoor’s southern border. The underground prison entrance lies at the end of the southernmost road, behind a large green door.
The prison spans multiple levels, requiring you to navigate past or eliminate guards and robots. Note that B.A.R.D robots can be disabled to collect Atomic Batteries, essential for The Interchange.
Proceed to the prison’s lowest level, past the dig site. Dr. Garrow is confined in a standalone cell in the main room. To free her, locate the Signal Redirector in the nearby Storage room on a shelf. Securing it earns you the ‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement.
Using the Signal Redirector in Atomfall
Developed by Dr. Garrow, the Signal Redirector is a hacking device that reroutes power in yellow junction boxes to alternate sources, allowing you to disable security systems or unlock storage rooms.
Like the Metal Detector, the Signal Redirector alerts you with an on-screen icon when a hackable junction box is nearby. Follow the device’s needle to locate the box, which highlights when you’re close enough.
Press the ‘Hack’ button to redirect the junction box’s power. You can reverse the action by hacking it again if needed.
Using the Signal Redirector, you can free Dr. Garrow from her cell and advance her storyline, depending on your chosen path.
