"Atomfall: Acquiring the Signal Redirector"

In the gripping world of *Atomfall*, where survival hinges on every resource you can scavenge, certain items stand out as game-changers. The Signal Redirector is one such treasure, essential for navigating the challenges you'll face. If you're having trouble locating this vital tool, this guide will walk you through the process of acquiring the Signal Redirector.

Where to Find Signal Redirector in Atomfall

The Signal Redirector isn't something you'll stumble upon easily in *Atomfall*. It's not available through traders or looted from random corpses like the Metal Detector. Instead, it's tied to a specific location and character – 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. From there, you must embark on a rescue mission to free her from the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor. Reaching this location is no small feat, as the area is heavily guarded by Protocol soldiers.

To ease your infiltration, consider meeting Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village. By helping him with tasks like retrieving stolen items, you can gain favor with Protocol, making your approach less hostile.

When ready, head to the Protocol prison camp situated on the southern border of Skethermoor. The entrance to the underground prison lies at the end of the southernmost road, behind a massive green door.

Navigating the prison involves progressing through multiple levels while evading or confronting guards and robots. Remember, B.A.R.D robots can be disabled to obtain their **Atomic Batteries**, crucial for The Interchange mission.

Reach the bottom level, past the dig site area, where Dr. Garrow is confined in a standalone cell in the main room. To free her, you'll need the Signal Redirector, which is located in the nearby Storage room on a shelf. Acquiring it will also earn you the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.

How to Use Signal Redirector in Atomfall

The Signal Redirector, a hacking tool crafted by Dr. Garrow, allows you to manipulate power within yellow junction boxes, redirecting it to different sources. This capability is invaluable for disabling security systems and unlocking storage rooms.

Similar to the Metal Detector, the Signal Redirector 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 when you're close enough.

To hack, simply select the 'Hack' button to reroute the power. If needed, you can reverse the hack by selecting the same option again.

Utilizing the Signal Redirector will be key to freeing Dr. Garrow and advancing her storyline, should you choose to help her escape.
