The Signal Redirector is a unique tool in *Atomfall* that you can't simply purchase from a trader or find on a random corpse, unlike the Metal Detector. It's located in a specific spot linked to one of the game's main characters, Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist.

Your journey begins by picking up a lead in Wyndham Village about Dr. Garrow's whereabouts. From there, you'll need to embark on a rescue mission to save her. Dr. Garrow is imprisoned deep within the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor, a location teeming with 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 favor with Protocol, which might ease your entry into the prison camp.

Once ready, head to the Protocol prison camp 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.

The prison is multi-leveled, and you'll need to navigate through each level, evading or neutralizing guards and robots. Remember, you can disable B.A.R.D robots to collect their **Atomic Batteries**, essential for The Interchange.

Reach the bottom level of the prison, past the dig site area. Dr. Garrow will be locked in a standalone cell in the main room. To free her, you'll need the Signal Redirector, which is stored in the nearby Storage room on a shelf. Upon retrieving it, you'll earn the **'Reverse the Polarity' trophy/achievement**.

How to Use Signal Redirector in Atomfall

The Signal Redirector, crafted by Dr. Garrow, serves as a hacking tool that reroutes power within yellow junction boxes to different sources. This capability is vital 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.

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