In the post-apocalyptic world of *Atomfall*, certain items you discover during your travels can prove to be incredibly valuable. One such crucial item is the Signal Redirector, which is notoriously difficult to obtain. If you're struggling to locate it, follow this comprehensive guide on how to secure the Signal Redirector.
The Signal Redirector is a unique tool in *Atomfall* that cannot be obtained through typical means like trading or scavenging from corpses (unlike the Metal Detector). Instead, you'll find it in a specific location linked to one of the game's main characters, Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist.
Your journey begins after picking up a lead in Wyndham Village about Dr. Garrow's whereabouts. Your mission is to rescue her from the depths of the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor, which is no small feat. The area is heavily guarded by Protocol soldiers, making infiltration challenging.
To ease your way into the camp, consider meeting Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village first. By assisting him with tasks like recovering stolen items, you can gain favor with Protocol, at least temporarily.
When you're ready, head to the Protocol prison camp situated on the southernmost border of Skethermoor. The entrance to the underground prison is at the end of the southern road, marked by a large green door.
Navigating through the prison involves progressing through multiple levels, evading or neutralizing guards and robots. Remember, you can disable B.A.R.D robots to obtain **Atomic Batteries**, essential for The Interchange.
Reach the bottom level, past the dig site area, where Dr. Garrow is imprisoned in a standalone cell in the main room. To free her, you must retrieve the Signal Redirector from the nearby Storage room, where it rests on a shelf. Upon taking it, you'll unlock the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.
Developed by Dr. Garrow, the Signal Redirector serves as a hacking tool that manipulates power within yellow junction boxes to reroute it to different sources. This capability is invaluable for disabling security systems and accessing locked 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 needle's direction on the device to locate the junction box, which will be highlighted once you're close enough.
Use the 'Hack' button to reroute the power within the junction box. If needed, you can reverse this action by hacking the box again.
Utilizing the Signal Redirector will aid in freeing Dr. Garrow from her cell, allowing you to continue her storyline if you choose to escape with her.
