The Signal Redirector is not something you'll stumble upon easily. Unlike the Metal Detector, which might be found on a corpse or purchased, the Signal Redirector is uniquely tied to Dr. Diane Garrow, a former B.A.R.D scientist. Your quest to obtain it begins after picking up a lead in Wyndham Village about Dr. Garrow's whereabouts. You'll need to embark on a rescue mission to the Protocol prison camp in Skethermoor, where she is being held captive.

Reaching Skethermoor is challenging due to the heavy presence of Protocol soldiers. A strategic approach involves meeting Captain Grant Sims in Wyndham Village and gaining his favor by helping with tasks like recovering stolen items. This could ease your infiltration into the Protocol prison camp.

The prison camp is located on the southern edge of Skethermoor. Enter through the giant green door at the end of the southmost road to access the underground prison. Navigating the multi-level prison requires stealth and combat skills as you avoid or take down guards and robots. Remember, B.A.R.D robots can be disabled for their **Atomic Batteries**, essential for The Interchange.

Descend to the bottom level, past the dig site, where Dr. Garrow is imprisoned in a standalone cell. To free her, you must retrieve the Signal Redirector from the nearby Storage room, where it sits on a shelf. Upon obtaining it, you'll earn the **‘Reverse the Polarity’ trophy/achievement**.

How to Use Signal Redirector in Atomfall

Developed by Dr. Garrow, the Signal Redirector is a powerful hacking tool that reroutes power within yellow junction boxes to different sources. This capability is invaluable for disabling security systems and unlocking storage rooms. When carrying the Signal Redirector, it will notify you with an icon at the bottom of your screen when you're near a hackable junction box. The device's needle will guide you to the box, which will be highlighted when you're close enough.

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