Joyce Tanner is an NPC in Atomfall and is one of the several characters offering you a way out of the Quarantine Zone. Whether you choose to trust her is up to you, but her investigation is an intriguing one, as Joyce seems like one of the good guys. Her investigation also seems to make sense, as she needs you to activate some radio towers around the maps to try and get a signal out past the Quarantine Zone and get you both rescued.
Of course, things get a little more complicated than that throughout the Joyce Tanner investigation. To see a complete walkthrough of the investigation and its ending, check out the guide below.
Finding Joyce Tanner
Joyce Tanner can be located in a couple of alternate ways, one of which actually doesn't lead you to her at all. If you discovered a radio log from Joyce Tanner, then you'll be led to a bunker in Casterfell Woods with the coordinates 28.0 E, 91.6 N. Heading to that location reveals a remote bunker atop a small cliff near a radio antenna. However, when you get inside the bunker, you won't find Joyce at all.
Instead, you need to head into the Interchange. Specifically, go to the top floor of Data Store Room C, and Joyce Tanner will be there waiting for you. It doesn't matter if you visit the bunker in Casterfell Woods first or not, as this is where Joyce is located from the moment you enter the Interchange in Atomfall.
After finding Joyce, speak to her to start the investigation and find out what she wants from you.
Activating three Radio Towers
As you'll soon discover, Joyce Tanner is a soldier of sorts who was on a secret mission inside the Quarantine Zone when the mysterious event with the Interchange was triggered. Now, she's trying to escape the same way you are and needs to activate three Radio Towers to get rescued. If you activate the Radio Towers for her, you can join her on her escape.
The three Radio Towers are located in Slatten Dale, Casterfell Woods, and Skethermoor. Each one is marked on your map if you track the Joyce Tanner investigation, but activating them isn't as simple as it seems. We'll go over each Radio Tower and how to activate it below.
