Atomic Heart Testing Ground 1 Solution

Are you wondering what the Atomic Heart Testing Ground 1 solution is? Testing Grounds provide you with additional content outside of the primary campaign. Inside each Testing Ground will be a series of puzzles you were exposed to during the campaign. They can be tricky but worth it because you will be rewarded with weapon upgrade blueprints. However, Testing Ground 1 is the first Testing Ground and will have a simple entrance and puzzles you will need to solve. In this one, you will encounter more basic magnet puzzles that you will need to solve to exit the Testing Ground. Here is the Atomic Heart Testing Ground 9 station solution guide so you can unlock four weapon upgrade blueprints.
