The very first location of Atomic Heart is the Vavilov Complex — a massive underground research facility, and you won’t even reach the main area until much, much later. For now, we’re stuck outside a Maglev Station, unable to enter while killer robots roam the halls of the futuristic Soviet base. To make it through this starting section, you’ll need to solve multiple puzzles. There are weird locked doors, laser grid puzzles and more.

This allows you to ride the Cable Car — which inevitably crashes. To cross the gap ahead, jump on
