In the post-apocalyptic world of *Atomfall*, certain items can be game-changers, and the Signal Redirector is one such treasure. Finding it is no small feat, but with this guide, you'll know exactly how to get your hands on this vital tool.
Where to Find the Signal Redirector in Atomfall
The Signal Redirector isn't something you'll stumble upon casually. Unlike items like the Metal Detector, which might be found on a corpse or bought from a trader, this tool is located in a very specific spot, linked to Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist. After picking up a lead in Wyndham Village about her whereabouts, you'll embark on a mission to rescue her from the depths of the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor.
Reaching the camp is challenging due to the heavy presence of Protocol soldiers. To make your infiltration smoother, consider meeting Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village first. By assisting him with tasks like recovering stolen items, you can gain some favor with Protocol, which might ease your journey.
Once ready, head to the Protocol prison camp on the southern border of Skethermoor. The entrance to the underground prison is at the end of the southernmost road, marked by a large green door. Inside, the prison spans multiple levels, and you'll need to navigate through them, evading or confronting guards and robots. Remember, B.A.R.D robots can be dismantled for their **Atomic Batteries**, essential for The Interchange.
Proceed to the bottom 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. Securing it will also earn you the **'Reverse the Polarity' trophy/achievement**.
How to Use the Signal Redirector in Atomfall
The Signal Redirector, a creation of Dr. Garrow, serves as a hacking tool that reroutes power within yellow junction boxes to different sources. This can disable security systems and unlock storage rooms, among other uses. Much like the Metal Detector, when the Signal Redirector is in your inventory, it will alert you to nearby hackable junction boxes with an icon at the bottom of your screen. Follow the needle's direction on the device to locate the junction box, which will be highlighted when you're close enough.
To hack, simply select the 'Hack' button to reroute the power. If you need to reverse the process, just hack the junction box again. Utilizing the Signal Redirector effectively will aid in freeing Dr. Garrow and advancing her storyline.
