Where To Find All Atomfall Lunchboxes - Locations Guide

Do you want to obtain all the lunchboxes in Atomfall? There are several of these items that you can acquire during your playthrough. However, they're somewhat hard to find since they're buried underground. Fret not since our guide is here to help you along the way.

Where to find all lunchboxes in Atomfall

The only way you can actually find lunchboxes in the game is if you have a Metal Detector. The closest one can be picked up from a corpse near a pond in southeast Slatten Dale. The coordinates are 29.0 E, 73.9 N.

Once you have a Metal Detector equipped, it will emit a loud beep if there's a buried item nearby. Switch to it and hold the aim button to keep it steady. Then, take a look at the device's screen:

• The red lights indicate the direction. You'll want to look around depending on the one that's lit up. For instance, if the middle light is glowing, that just means you need to continue walking straight ahead.
• The gauge/meter indicates your distance to a buried item. Once it reaches 10, it means you're right above what you're looking for.
• Press the fire/attack button to dig out your prize.

Note that the Metal Detector can also inform you of the locations of other loot, such as caches. Of course, our Atomfall lunchbox locations guide only focuses on this particular collectible.

The map above shows where you can find the lunchboxes in Slatten Dale. It's the first region in the game that you can fully explore.

• Region: Slatten Dale
• Coordinates: 23.5 E, 77.3 N
• Location: From the Bunker where you started the campaign, head northwest until you see the Convoy Wreckage area. The buried item is next to a rock near the river. Also, if you go behind the waterfall, you can pick up a comic book collectible.

• Region: Slatten Dale
• Coordinates: 24.7 E, 74.2 N
• Location: Follow the road along the western portion of Slatten Dale until you come across a rocky ledge. Climb it and go through the opening, then drop down the ladder. The Metal Detector should beep, letting you know that a buried item is nearby.

• Region: Slatten Dale
• Coordinates: 29.7 E, 75.1 N
• Location: This particular spot is close to the Outlaw Camp. However, more dangerous foes lurk nearby: the nasty fish that will keep chomping at your heels if you wade across the water.

The map above shows the Atomfall lunchbox locations in Wyndham Village. If you take the northern exit in Slatten Dale, you'll reach this particular sector that's under the control of the Protocol army.

• Region: Wyndham Village
• Coordinates: 30.8 E, 81.0 N
• Location: This collectible is fairly close to the Brewery Cellar entrance. There's just one problem: there are countless carnivorous rats nearby. They're feeding on a corpse, so you need to be quick lest you become their next meal.

• Region: Wyndham Village
• Coordinates: 31.4 E, 82.1 N
• Location: Keep going north from the Brewery Cellar lunchbox until you see a phone booth. Right next to it is a small abandoned house. But be forewarned that the house's interior is actually a restricted area, and the Protocol soldiers will become suspicious if they spot you. As such, you need to wait until everyone has their backs turned before you start searching for stuff with the Metal Detector.

• Region: Wyndham Village
• Coordinates: 34.9 E, 79.7 N
• Location: You can find this in the yard of a house just north of the Grendel's Head pub.

• Region: Wyndham
• Coordinates: 35.1 E, 81.2 N
• Location: Getting this Atomfall lunchbox is a bit tricky. That's because it's in the Protocol Outpost yard, which is another restricted area. The idea is to follow the river leading north, and then hop on a ledge that gives you access to the side of the yard. Just watch out because patrolling guards might see you.

The region of Skethermoor has five lunchboxes for you to acquire. One of them, however, is in a massive prison complex.

• Region: Skethermoor
• Coordinates: 38.5 E, 76.2 N
• Location: Found in a grassy area south of the Protocol Workshop and west of the Road Blockade.

• Region: Skethermoor
• Coordinates: 39.7 E, 77.9 N
• Location: To get this particular lunchbox collectible, you need to head to Brinsop Manor Ruins. Then, make your way through the hedge maze in the yard.

• Region: Skethermoor
• Coordinates: 40.2 E, 75.4 N
• Location: Follow the road leading to the center of the map (near the Ruined Hamlet), but be careful since there's a minefield in the area. Eventually, you'll reach a copse of trees and the Metal Detector will start beeping.

• Region: Skethermoor
• Coordinates: 43.3 E, 76.3 N
• Location: Head over to the eastern part of the map. There's a cluster of bushes halfway between the Greenhouses and Nora's Barn. The Metal Detector should beep once you're close enough.

• Region: Skethermoor Prison
• Coordinates: 41.1 E, 70.8 N
• Location: Getting this Atomfall lunchbox collectible might take you a while. That's because it's inside the heavily guarded Skethermoor Prison. Here's what you need to do:
  • You need to disable the alarms outside the facility by using the Signal Redirector. There are various ways that you can obtain this device, though one of the most reliable methods requires you to tackle the quest to find Dr. Garrow.
  • Use the Signal Redirector to gain entry to Skethermoor Prison, which is where you need to free Dr. Garrow.
  • Once you pick up the Security Keycard in the Bunk Room on the ground floor, you can use it to unlock most of the doorways in the facility.
  • From the Bunk Room, open the large Maintenance Room door that's right next to it.
  • Go through the corridors until you reach another doorway at the A-04 section.
  • Traverse this cavernous area and go down the ladder. The Metal Detector should beep, though that's because there's a regular cache nearby.
  • If you continue following the underground path, the Metal Detector will beep again. This time, you'll end up digging the collectible itself.

You can check the map above for the locations of the lunchbox collectibles in Casterfell Woods. While there are a few ways to access this region, the easiest by far just requires you to take the northwestern exit from Wyndham Village.

• Region: Casterfell Woods
• Coordinates: 28.4 E, 90.5 N
• Location: Assuming you went through the Wyndham Village exit to reach Casterfell Woods, then you should find yourself in the southwestern part of the map. Follow the road that leads north until you're past the Garden Center. There are some patrolling Druids here, so watch out. Then, to your right, you should see a narrow opening that you can squeeze through. You can then dig for this Atomfall lunchbox that's buried near the tent overlooking the cliffside.

• Region: Casterfell Woods
• Coordinates: 23.6 E, 89.4 N
• Location: This particular collectible is near the center of the map--i.e. south of Bunker L9 and west of the Radio Tower. It's near a shed at the base of a sloping path.

• Region: Casterfell Woods
• Coordinates: 22.4 E, 87.4 N
• Location: If you keep going south from the previous location, you should eventually reach a clearing. An imposing wicker man can be seen just beyond. The lunchbox is in this area, but do watch out for Druids and deadly fauna as well.

There are three more Atomfall lunchbox collectibles in the Interchange, the massive underground complex that connects all regions. Trying to acquire all of them can be an arduous tasks as there are a few things that you need to do first:

• Try to familiarize yourself with the layout of the Interchange and Data Store Rooms.
• Obtain at least four Atomic Batteries so you can power up the Data Store Rooms in the facility.
• You should also have the Signal Redirector since this place has countless turrets. In one particular instance, you even need it to reach an inaccessible part of the map.

• Region: Interchange
• Coordinates: N/A
• Location: Data Store Alpha or Charlie - Medical Wing Yard

Both of these locations have pathways that lead to the Medical Wing Yard, which is the western section of the Interchange. From the yard, keep going straight ahead to the center and hang a right at the bridge. You'll see a ruined vehicle in the distance. The lunchbox is buried next to it.

• Region: Interchange
• Coordinates: N/A
• Location: Data Store Bravo or Delta - Robotics Yard

The Robotics Yard, meanwhile, is the southern section of the Interchange. Be careful when you go outside since there are patrolling mechs, as well as a couple of turrets. You can use the Signal Redirector to disable the turrets, but you still need to watch out for the robots.

In any case, check the nook off to the side of the turret near Data Store D/Crane Controls. You can pick up your collectible from this tiny space.

• Region: Interchange
• Coordinates: N/A
• Location: Crane Control/Detention Facility

Last but not least, you can pick up one more lunchbox collectible in the Interchange by doing the following:

• From the Robotics Yard, check the maintenance shed near the steps to Data Store Bravo. Inside, you'll find a dead fella who has the Crane Controls Keycard.
• Go up the steps near Data Store Delta and enter the Crane Control Room.
• The machinery has no power, so you should bring out your Signal Redirector. Look for the three fuse boxes that you can hack. Then, once power has been restored, pull the lever so the crane moves the large container out of the way.
• This allows you to reach the Detention Facility area in the southeast. Disable the turret, then use your Metal Detector to find your loot. You can also unlock the doorway that leads back to Skethermoor Prison.
