Learn how to customize your Atomfall experience by adjusting Combat, Survival, and Exploration difficulty settings, including advanced options for fine-tuning.
Hey there! So, you're about to dive into Atomfall and want to know how to set things up just right? When you first boot up the game, you'll get to pick your overall difficulty. You can actually tweak three main areas: Combat, Survival, and Exploration. There are four general levels to choose from – Assisted, Casual, Challenging, and Intense – going from easiest to hardest.
But here's a cool trick: if those general settings aren't quite what you're looking for, you can dive into the “Advanced Options.” This lets you get super specific. For example, maybe you're not a fan of stealth but you're cool with gunfights. You can lower settings like “Enemy Perception,” “Threat Persistence,” “Enemy Aggression,” and “Enemy Population” to make sneaking around less of a headache, but keep the enemies dangerous when things kick off.
In the “Survival” category, you can make things a bit more forgiving by bumping up “Player Resilience,” “Health Regeneration,” and “Healing Efficacy.” You could even leave things like “Barter Modifier” and “Loot Scarcity” as they are, so you still find good gear, but you're just less likely to meet an untimely end.
The “Exploration” category is a bit different. It's less about fighting and more about how much the game helps you find your way. These are usually on or off. If you enjoy a good old-fashioned scavenger hunt, leave them “Off.” But if you’d rather have helpful tools like a compass, waypoint markers, and highlighted clues so you don't waste time deciphering every little note, turn them “On.”
And don't worry if you change your mind later! You can actually adjust these difficulty settings anytime. Just head into the options menu, go to the “Game” tab, and select the “Playstyle” option to make your changes.
