How to Get the Polymer Canister in Atomic Heart

Jump, atomic man!

There is some puzzle solving, some major fights and crowd control, power usage and well, everything in between. But my heart still relies on the basic platforming of yore. Simply jump ahead and everything will be ok, no intricate levels, no alternative endings, no debts, no problems. Sorry, I just got real for a moment. Anyway, here is how to get the Polymer canister in Atomic Heart.

How to Get the Polymer Canister in Atomic Heart

During your search to find and protect Doctor Filatova, which is responsible for all the events happening in this game along Traitor Petrov, you will be tasked with retrieving a heat-resistant Polymer canister. This happens during the Into the Fire objective, which will have you travel to the Hot Workshop, which is the place where these Polymers are made. Keep following the objective marker in your HUD and you will arrive at a room with some vegetation, and, of course, in ruins and on fire.

Once you arrive, turn to your left to find a crate lifter, lifting a plank of wood. Stand on top of it and jump to the platform above. Then, go ahead and jump on the object found in the platform to jump on another platform above. If you didn’t notice, you will be jumping in this section of the game. Once up, you will see two platforms lined up all the way to there the objective marker is set, that means, where the Polymer canister is located. You know what you have to do, right? Jump all the way to the canister and interact with it to collect it.

That’s pretty much it for now! Just be sure to time your jumps correctly, specially the last one that can be a little trickier. You know, the jumps that have an angle with the platform you are jumping to casually has a roof? Yes, I hate those, just be sure to not miss it by pushing forwards on the analog stick to land inside and collect the canister as instructed above.
