On your way to meeting the game's unique NPCs and establishing an escape plan out of the zone, players will need to collect a variety of weapons and items to make their way through the dangerous, post-apocalyptic world. One useful resource will help manage your inventory, so knowing how to use Pneumatic Tubes in Atomfall will help you on your journey to freedom.

The time it takes to beat Atomfall varies greatly depending on your decisions and approach to this open-ended survival RPG.

How To Use Pneumatic Tubes in Atomfall

A common challenge players encounter in survival games is storage management, and Atomfall is no exception in this regard. While some items may stack, especially those used to craft items, like the Strange Tonic, there is only so much space you can dedicate to your weapons, healing items, and other essential resources.

Since you don't have a base or any form of consistent space where you can store additional items, Atomfall has included a system of pneumatic tubes that can be used to keep any important items that are taking up room in your backpack that you need for other items. While it may not be the most accessible way of keeping valuables safe, it is a simple system to use.

To use pneumatic tubes in Atomfall, players simply need to interact with a tube and exchange items to or from their inventory. This is especially useful for crucial story items like Atomic Batteries, as you'll be able to access them again once you get to the Interchange, where you will need to insert them into the datapoints to restore their power.

Where To Find Pneumatic Tubes in Atomfall

Atomfall features five distinct districts, ranging from Casterfell Falls, where the Druids reside, to Protocol's territory of Skethermoor, all of which have pneumatic tubes at your disposal, but you'll need to be aware of where to look. Pneumatic tubes will be found in any bunker or laboratory you encounter in any district in the game.

Bunkers are generally fairly easy to find across the districts, as they will most likely hug the borders of each region, but The Interchange is where you will find them the most, and need them. In particular, there is one right by the Central Processor, where the entrance to Oberon is.
