Certain items prove invaluable during your post-apocalyptic journey through Atomfall. The Signal Redirector stands out as particularly essential, though acquiring it presents a serious challenge. If you're having trouble locating this crucial device, this guide will show you exactly how to obtain the Signal Redirector.
Where to Find Signal Redirector in Atomfall
The Signal Redirector isn't available through typical means—you won't find it with merchants or on fallen enemies (unlike the Metal Detector). This specialized tool appears in only one specific location tied to Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist.
After obtaining the lead about her whereabouts in Wyndham Village, you'll need to mount a rescue operation. Dr. Garrow is imprisoned deep within Protocol's heavily guarded facility in Skethermoor.
The infiltration itself presents considerable difficulty due to extensive Protocol security. We recommend first establishing rapport with Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village by completing his missions—this temporary alliance may ease your passage.
When prepared, approach the Protocol detention facility at Skethermoor's southern border. Access to the underground complex lies beyond a massive green door at the road's terminus.
The multi-level prison requires careful navigation past guards and robotic sentries—remember to harvest Atomic Batteries from disabled B.A.R.D units for later use at The Interchange.
Upon reaching the lowest level beyond the excavation zone, you'll find Dr. Garrow's isolated cell. Liberating her requires retrieving the Signal Redirector from a nearby storage room shelf. Securing it will grant you the 'Reverse the Polarity' achievement.
How to Use Signal Redirector in Atomfall
This sophisticated hacking device, designed by Dr. Garrow, manipulates power flow within yellow junction boxes. Its capabilities include disabling security systems and unlocking restricted areas.
Much like the Metal Detector's functionality, the Signal Redirector provides visual cues—a bottom-screen icon and directional needle—when hackable junctions are near. Proximity triggers clear highlighting of usable interfaces.
Activate the hack function to reroute power, with the option to restore original configurations through subsequent interactions.
Successfully employing this device enables Dr. Garrow's liberation and advances her narrative arc (should you choose to assist her escape).
