Atomfall: How to Obtain Signal Redirector

In the post-apocalyptic world of *Atomfall*, certain items can significantly enhance your survival and exploration experience. Among these, the Signal Redirector stands out as a crucial tool, but acquiring it is no small feat. If you're having trouble locating it, this guide will walk you through the steps to obtain the Signal Redirector.

Where to Find the Signal Redirector in Atomfall

The Signal Redirector is a unique tool in *Atomfall* that you won't find through typical means. It's not available from traders or looted from corpses like the Metal Detector. Instead, it's tied to a specific location and one of the game's main characters, Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist.

Your journey begins in Wyndham Village, where you'll pick up a lead on Dr. Garrow's whereabouts. To proceed, you must embark on a rescue mission to free her from the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor, a daunting task given the area's heavy Protocol soldier presence.

To ease your infiltration, consider meeting Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village. By assisting him with tasks such as recovering stolen items, you can gain favor with Protocol, at least temporarily.

Once prepared, head to the Protocol prison camp on the southern edge of Skethermoor. The entrance to the underground prison is at the end of the southernmost road, marked by a large green door.

The prison is multi-leveled, requiring you to navigate through while evading or neutralizing guards and robots. Remember, B.A.R.D robots can be disabled to collect **Atomic Batteries**, essential for The Interchange.

Descend to the prison's lowest level, past the dig site, where you'll find Dr. Garrow locked in a standalone cell in the main room. To free her, you'll need to retrieve the Signal Redirector from the nearby Storage room, where it's stored on a shelf. Upon acquiring it, you'll earn the **'Reverse the Polarity' trophy/achievement**.

How to Use the 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 functionality can disable security systems or unlock storage rooms, much like the Metal Detector.

With the Signal Redirector 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 device's needle to locate the box, which will be highlighted once you're close enough.

To hack, select the 'Hack' button to reroute the junction box's power. If needed, you can reverse the hack by selecting 'Hack' again.

Utilizing the Signal Redirector will aid in freeing Dr. Garrow and advancing her storyline, should you choose to escape with her.
