The Signal Redirector in Atomfall is crucial to working towards the game’s endings. It lets you access locked rooms and sections across regions, especially the mysterious Interchange tunnel system. There are multiple paths to obtaining its hacking powers, with some offering fewer opportunities for violence than others. Here’s our guide to the Signal Redirector locations and how to use it to hack signal boxes in Atomfall.

Finding the Signal Redirector via the Windfall Cache¶

There are two Signal Redirectors in Skethermoor, a region in Atomfall to the east of Wyndham Village. One can be found in the Windfall Cache and the other is in the Skethermoor Prison, confiscated from Dr. Garrow. Here’s how you can open the Windfall Cache:

• Get the Windfall Keycard first. Head straight from Wyndham Village’s entrance into Skethermoor and take a left to find the Protocol Workshop, a secret bunker guarded by Protocol troops. This is a restricted area so proceed with caution even if you’re on good terms with Captain Sims in Wyndham Village.
• Enter the bunker and evade or defeat the soldiers here. You’ll find a bathroom where the final stall has a secret entrance to a room. This spot has a body with the Windfall Keycard.
• The Windfall Cache, which can be opened with this keycard, can be found in the Protocol Field Station. It’s at 41.3E, and 74.9N in the Skethermoor region. Cross the fences, enter the bunker, and take down the Protocol troops here. This won’t make the soldiers outside the bunker hostile so don’t hesitate to knock them out. Get to the cache that looks like a B.A.R.D. crate and use the Windfall Keycard to get the Signal Redirector.

Getting the Signal Redirector from Skethermoor Prison¶

Here’s how you can get the Signal Redirector from Skethermoor Prison:

• While you can enter the prison by sneaking past the Protocol camp, doing so with Captain Sims’ guidance will keep the soldiers neutral.
• Head to the lower levels to find Dr. Garrow. Freeing her or keeping her in prison won’t keep you from getting the Signal Redirector. You’ll find it in the Security wing near Dr. Garrow’s cell.
• Grab it and you can use it to open the cells. You can also choose to keep the scientist in prison to leave without causing a fuss. If you free Dr. Garrow, the facility will go on alert, making Protocol soldiers and robots shoot on sight. It’s worth the risk since she is tied to one of the game’s endings.

Using the Signal Redirector¶

Just like the Metal Detector, you will be alerted to power switch modules nearby. When prompted, you can take out the Signal Redirector and use LT/L2 on a controller to scan for objects with which to interact. The black bar on the gadget moves to the right when you are close to a signal box. Once a white border appears around a power switch module as you point at it, press RT/R2 to hack in.

You’ll know that the hacking attempt is a success when the lit bulb turns off and another one turns on. Some of these boxes even have three outputs so interact with them to switch between these options. You can also hack signal boxes through windows, letting you access once-locked rooms and environments. That wraps up finding and using the Signal Redirector in Atomfall.
