In the game Atomfall, enhancing your character’s abilities is solely achievable through mastering skills. Unlike other games, there are no experience points or leveling systems. Instead, you enhance your base capabilities by acquiring and utilizing Training Stimulants that you discover along your journey to gain new perks.
At the beginning of the game, you can utilize only a handful of Skills, and mastering even those will necessitate the search for numerous Training Materials. To stand a decent chance in the Zone, it’s beneficial to locate Training Manuals. By perusing them, you gain the ability to learn additional skills using your well-acquired Stims.
Ranged Combat Skills
These abilities involve engaging distant opponents, mastering each type of weapon within the game that is designed for long-range combat.
Thrown Weapons
| Skill | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Throwables Radius | 6 | Thrown explosives have a larger blast area. |
| Throwables Damage | 4 | Thrown explosives deal more damage. |
| Weapon Throw Training | 2 | Melee weapons deal more damage when thrown. |
From the get-go, you already possess the skill for using thrown weapons; there’s no need to discover a manual to activate them.
Firearms
| Skill | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Firearms Focus | 6 | Guns deal more damage while your heart rate is low. |
| Firearms Handling | 4 | Reduces sway when aiming down sights. |
| Firearms Stability | 2 | Reduces recoil on all guns. |
The Firearms Manual can be found at Skethermoor Prison. To gain access, assist Captain Sims in apprehending Iris the Baker; he’ll provide you with a pass. This pass will grant you entry if you consent to question Doctor Garrow. In the lower level where Garrow is detained, locate and crawl through the vent in the farthest wall. Before activating the Signal Redirector, go into the storeroom on the right side and look to your right to discover the manual.
Another option is to force your entry into the prison or slip in through the Interchange with the help of the Crane Controls situated close to Data Store Delta.
Alternately, you can buy a Firearms Manual from Bootsy in northwest Skethermoor.
Bows
| Skill | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Bow Focus | 6 | Lets you briefly enter Focus when your bow is fully drawn, slowing time. |
| Draw Control | 4 | You can maintain full draw for the maximum allowed time regardless of your heart rate. |
| Draw Speed | 2 | Reduces the time it takes to draw a bow. |
As a fan, I’d say: “I find it incredibly stealthy and thrilling that bows are completely silent! Crafting an archery-centric character can offer a unique and enjoyable gaming experience. However, you’ll have to engage with the druids in Casterfell Woods to acquire a bow and enough arrows for your adventure.
The simplest method to obtain the Bow Manual is by purchasing it from Molly, who can be found in Slatten Dale. If trading isn’t an option for you, navigate towards the front entrance of the druids’ castle in southwestern Casterfell. Before entering, veer right and you’ll discover their copy of the manual along with some starting archery supplies.
If Molly doesn’t have the guide with her during your initial visit, feel free to return later, once you’ve obtained a bow. Typically, she would have secured one by then.
Melee Combat Skills
These skills handle combat within arm’s reach, usually with a weapon in hand.
Hand-To-Hand
| Skill | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Thick Skin | 5 | You take less damage from melee attacks, including from weapons. |
| Kill Momentum | 4 | Defeating an enemy with a melee attack gives you a brief Melee Damage buff, similar to that granted by Combat Stims. |
| Kick Stun Duration | 1 | Enemies that you kick remain staggered for longer. |
These Skills are available right from the start of the game.
Stealth
| Skill | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Surprise Attack | 5 | You deal more damage to enemies who don’t know you’re there. |
| Quiet Movement | 5 | Your footsteps are less likely to be heard by enemies, both standing and crouching. |
| Quiet Takedown | 2 | Takedowns are less noisy, making it less likely other enemies will notice. |
1. Option A: The Stealth Manual is located within the locked Conservatory at Datlow Hall, or you can obtain it by swapping with Molly when she has it available for trade.
2. Option B: You can find the Stealth Manual either inside the locked Conservatory at Datlow Hall, or by negotiating a swap with Molly whenever she has one in her inventory.
3. Option C: To acquire the Stealth Manual, you can either enter the locked Conservatory at Datlow Hall or strike a deal with Molly when she’s selling them.
4. Option D: The Stealth Manual is hidden inside the locked Conservatory at Datlow Hall, and it can also be obtained by trading with Molly if she happens to have one in stock.
Melee Combat
| Skill | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy Melee Attack Power | 7 | Your heavy melee attacks (hold the attack button) deal more damage. |
| Seasoned Brawler | 5 | Reduces the amount by which making a melee attack increases your heart rate. |
| Melee Weapon Attack Power | 2 | Increases the damage you deal with melee weapons of all types. |
To obtain the Melee Manual, an item that cannot be traded, you’ll need to venture into; specifically, you should explore and loot the Outlaw Cave nestled in eastern Slatten Dale. This cave is marked at coordinates 24.4E, 75.3N. If you keep to the left-hand road as you travel north from the starting bunker, you should be able to locate it with minimal difficulty.
Starting a new game by immediately assaulting the Outlaw Cave could be perilous, but if you manage to reach the storage room in the rear and grab the Melee Manual, you’ll quickly learn about Melee Weapon Attack Power once you have two Training Stimulants. This early acquisition can significantly boost your power levels.
Be sure to be wary of tripwires scattered around the cave, even at the entrance of the storage room, alongside the presence of the Outlaws!
Survival Skills
These abilities help you acquire fresh assets more efficiently and also enable you to utilize the existing ones more effectively.
Basic Survival
| Skill | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Scavenger | 5 | Searching bodies and opening containers takes less time. |
| Charisma | 4 | Traders offer you more value for items that you sell. |
| Disarm Traps | 3 | You can interact with tripwires to disarm them and salvage their components. |
These Skills are available at the beginning of the game, no matter what.
Crafting
| Skill | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Gunsmith | 7 | Allows you to combine identical guns to upgrade them. |
| Deep Pockets | 5 | Increases your carrying capacity for ammunition and crafting materials. |
| Crafting Speed | 1 | Reduces the time it takes to craft all items. |
Having these skills simplifies the process of creating essential items for your journey. You can uncover proof linking Morris from the Hardware Store to Maisie’s murder at the Brewery Cellar situated on a hill overlooking the Mereview Hotel in Wyndham Village. Present this evidence to Morris and promise not to reveal it, and he will provide you with a Crafting Guidebook.
As a fan seeking some hidden knowledge, if you feel uneasy about involving Morris or prefer not to engage with him, here’s what I recommend: Head over to Data Store Delta in the Interchange. Once it’s activated, make your way down to the lower level and leap onto the servers to dodge the electrified water below, then navigate up to the walkway above. In that area, you’ll find a deceased scientist who has a storeroom keycard on them. Utilize this keycard to unlock the secured door back where your jumps began. Inside, you’ll discover a replica of the Crafting Manual.
Consumables
| Skill | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Gut Health | 6 | Eating any food item grants you a brief Damage Resistance buff, similar to that granted by Painkillers. |
| Buff Duration | 4 | Buffs gained from using items have their duration increased. |
| Blue Fingers | 2 | Allows you to harvest Spores from infected plants. You do not need this skill to pick up loose Spores previously harvested by someone else. |
During your search of Captain Sims’ Bakery, look for the Consumables Manual in the locked room containing Iris’ sick husband. Another option is to purchase it from Billy Gorse at his campsite located southwest of Casterfell Dam.
Conditioning Skills
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but emphasize that mastering these skills significantly boosts my survivability within the treacherous confines of the Quarantine Zone.
Stamina
| Skill | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Endurance Training | 5 | Your heart rate rises slower and falls more quickly. |
| Recovery | 5 | When you’re at low health, you stabilize faster and get more health back when doing so. |
| Fortitude | 5 | Increases your maximum health. |
These Skills are available from the start of the game.
Resistance
| Skill | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Poison Resistance | 4 | Increases your resistance to Poison, usually from swarms, gas, and some druid weapons. |
| Bleed Resistance | 4 | Increases your resistance to Bleeding, usually from bladed melee weapons and traps. |
| Burn Resistance | 4 | Increases your resistance to Burn gained from suffering fire damage. |
Obtain the Church Cellar Key from the Medical Center at the Interchange. This key is needed to visit Doctor Holder in his hidden lab beneath the church in Wyndham Village. He will reward you with a keycard that grants access to deeper areas within the medical facility. Your task is to retrieve Sample One. When you successfully obtain it, exit via the tunnels located past the operating theater.
Directly following your shift from the Medical area to the Tunnels, glance to your right side to locate the Resistance Manual. It’s the unique one in the entire game, so make sure you don’t overlook it!
Status Protection
| Skill | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Healing Boost | 5 | Items that restore your health are more effective. |
| Infection Resistance. | N/A | Increases your Infection Resistance. Automatically learned upon unlocking this Skill set. |
| Radiation Resistance | 4 | Increases your Radiation Resistance. Apart from a specific room in the Vehicle Depot Bunker, this is only relevant if an Atomic Battery is damaged and destroyed, usually while fighting a robot. |
The specified Skill set isn’t something that can be found in a manual; rather, you acquire it by performing the Experimental Inoculation on Doctor Holder’s workbench. Consequently, the only method to obtain it is by locating the Church Cellar Key and following the instructions provided earlier to meet him.
Regardless of whether you intend to acquire Dr. Holder’s final outcome or not, it’s worthwhile meeting him for his complimentary Infection Resistance Skill. This will be beneficial in your survival against spores as you progress through the Windscale Plant towards the end of the game, since some form of protection from them is essential.
