This guide explains how to get the canister from the Cold Workshop in Atomic Heart.

Atomic Heart heart has arrived and initial reception to the game has been mixed. The new action RPG from developers Mundish has a promising concept but many – including myself – thought it failed to deliver the goods. Nonetheless, the game launches on PC and Xbox Game Pass on 21 February, so many will be checking it out as part of their subscription.

The game takes players to an alternate history Soviet Union. It is 1955, the development of a programmable liquid called “Polymer” has led to rapid advances in the worlds of robotics and artificial intelligence.

Scientist Dmitry Sechenov – the inventor of Polymer – is set to announce his latest invention: Kollektiv 2.0. Kollektiv allows humans to control robots with their minds. However, on the eve of the new technology’s launch, research hub Facilitiy 3826’s robots go haywire and massacre the settlement’s inhabitants.

Major Sergei Nechaev is dispatched to deal with the disaster by putting down the robotic rebellion and discovering its cause. But not everything is as it seems, and not everyone can be trusted.

Atomic Heart is a first-person shooter with RPG elements. Players need to arm P-3 with an arsenal of crafted weapons to deal with his robotic foes. Along the way, you also need to solve numerous puzzles to progress through Atomic Heart‘s dungeons.

The first dungeon you enter in Atomic Heart is the Vavilov complex. However, getting out isn’t so easy.

To do so, you must find and retrieve four canisters from four different workshops. Each of them is used to power up a tree (yes, really) that is linked to the exit door.
