The Signal Redirector isn't something you'll stumble upon easily in *Atomfall*. Unlike items like the Metal Detector, which might be found on a trader or a corpse, the Signal Redirector is 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 the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor, where she's being held captive.

Reaching Skethermoor 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 assisting him with tasks like recovering stolen items, you can gain favor with Protocol, making your journey smoother.

Once ready, head to the Protocol prison camp on the southern border of Skethermoor. The entrance to the underground prison is at the end of the southernmost road, marked by a large green door.

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

Reach the bottom level, past the dig site, 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. Upon retrieving it, you'll earn the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.

How to Use the Signal Redirector in Atomfall

Developed by Dr. Garrow, the Signal Redirector serves as a hacking tool that reroutes power within yellow junction boxes to different sources. This capability is vital 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 device's needle to locate the box, which will be highlighted when you're close enough.

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