In the post-apocalyptic world of *Atomfall*, certain items you come across can significantly enhance your gameplay. Among these, the Signal Redirector stands out as a particularly valuable tool, albeit one that's challenging to acquire. If you're having trouble locating it, let this guide help you navigate your way to obtaining the Signal Redirector.
Where to Find Signal Redirector in Atomfall
The Signal Redirector isn't something you'll stumble upon easily in *Atomfall*. Unlike items like the Metal Detector, which can be looted from corpses or purchased, the Signal Redirector is exclusive to a specific location linked to Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist. To get it, you'll first need to pick up a lead from Wyndham Village pointing you towards her whereabouts. Your mission then becomes rescuing her from the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor, a task fraught with challenges.
Reaching Skethermoor is tough, as it's heavily guarded by Protocol soldiers. To ease your infiltration, consider meeting Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village. By assisting him with tasks like recovering stolen items, you can gain favor with Protocol, making your journey smoother.
Once ready, head to the Protocol prison camp located at the southern edge of Skethermoor. The entrance to the underground prison is at the end of the southernmost road, behind a large green door. Inside, you'll navigate through multiple levels, evading or neutralizing guards and robots. Remember, you can disable B.A.R.D robots to collect their **Atomic Batteries**, crucial for The Interchange.
Descend to the prison's lowest level, past the dig site area, where you'll find Dr. Garrow locked in a standalone cell in the main room. To free her, you'll need the Signal Redirector, located in the nearby Storage room on a shelf. Upon retrieving it, you'll unlock the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.
How to Use Signal Redirector in Atomfall
Developed by Dr. Garrow, the Signal Redirector is a hacking tool that reroutes power within yellow junction boxes to different sources. This functionality allows you to disable security systems or unlock storage rooms. When in your inventory, the Signal Redirector will signal the presence of a hackable junction box with an icon at the bottom of your screen. The device's needle will guide you towards it, and once close enough, the junction box will be highlighted, ready for you to select the ‘Hack’ option to reroute power. If necessary, you can reverse the hack by hacking the junction box again.
Utilizing the Signal Redirector is key to freeing Dr. Garrow and advancing her storyline, should you choose to escape with her.
