Atomfall Review: Keep Calm And Carry Guns

Atomfall brings the twee post-apocalypse to rural Britain.

There’s no money in Atomfall, and traders exchange goods purely on barter. Knowing who has what for trade, and what they like to receive in return, can help you kit yourself out for a dangerous expedition or refill your supplies when you’re running low.

How To Trade With NPCs In Atomfall

Traders are marked on the map with a set of scales once you’re made aware of them, either by meeting them in person or hearing rumors of their operation. They don’t wander about, so you can always reliably find them at their campsite or shop.

To start a barter, talk to the trader and choose the appropriate dialogue option – it’s always second from the bottom. While bartering, you can add items from your backpack to your offer while selecting goods from the trader’s inventory that you want.

You can’t select items if taking them would overfill your backpack, so you may need to adjust the trade to account for space as well as value.

You can finalize the trade at any time when the scales at the center of the screen are either balanced or weighted toward the trader. Traders won’t take a deal that isn’t in their favor, but they’re more than happy to let you do so.

Item Values

Generally, the larger and rarer an item is, the more it’s worth. Individual bullets and common weapons like sickles won’t tip the scales much, but first aid kits, Atom Batteries, and other quality gear certainly will. It’s also worth noting that traders always take more than they give, even if you have the Charisma skill. That means you can’t just trade a handgun for a different handgun; you’ll always have to throw in a little something extra.

Additionally, each trader has items that they prefer to take, which they will offer more value for. These are noted by a yellow arrow on their icon when you offer them, and the trader will always say something like, “Oh, that’s nice!” when you select it.
