Atomic Heart starts off very strong during its linear sections. You find out that the robots have been attacking the Facility for a couple of days now, which means that people who are up above in the clouds do not know what has been happening for a couple of days now.
After exiting the first linear section of the game, the open world is now unlocked for you, and you can explore around and see what this world where the Soviet Union won looks like. In this open world, you will be able to go to different locations for quests.
Atomic Heart – Reach the Theater Guide
Grab a Car and Drive
When you get the objective to go to the theater, you will need to get a car immediately.
The open world may not be large compared to other titles like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla or Fallout 4, but the distance between you and the theater is still long enough to warrant a car.
Grab one off the road and just drive towards it.
Eventually, you will reach a point where a car cannot proceed, so you will have to continue on foot. But don’t worry, as the short distance from where you will stop and the theater will only take a couple of minutes.
Once you get to the theater, you will then have to fight a huge robot. This is a boss fight, so be sure to be prepared with lots of ammo and lots of health, especially if you are playing on harder difficulties.
After defeating the boss, go find this staircase that leads down to a door. There’s another entrance to the theater you can use but just go to the one that is closest to you.
Once inside, open the door to the elevator and take it down to the theater. This will complete the objective.
