Hazards, Radiation & Anomaly Fields. V1.0
 

The zone is dangerous. Safe paths even over short distances take time, effort and slow navigation.
 

During the event the ENTIRE 80 acres will be an overlapping puzzle work of radiation and anomaly fields. While it will be possible to move throughout the facility without the in game protection systems, that will be incredibly slow and circuitous. Also factions will gravitate to these routes and their POI Camps will make it more difficult, as you could face hostilities, get robbed or extorted for tolls.
 

These hazard zones are marked by ground flags of the corresponding color to the hazard.

​

Traversing around them will take time and effort. Crossing into them without the correct protection and procedures is instant player death no revive. Players ignoring the rules are ejected no refund and will not be allowed to participate in any ASW productions. Recording another player ignoring the hazard rules and submitting that to a staff member will net you significant reward. You all are here for the stalker experience. Don't cheat.

​

Traversal:

Players are given a red 3d printed bolt and a 6ft string at check in. You must keep this its ESSENTIAL TO CROSS ANOMALY FIELDS.

​

Players loop one end to their gear. They then toss the bolt forward and they may cross to it. Rinse and repeat to cross the anomaly fields.

​

Players may also purchase an Anomaly Detector in game with in game currency. This allows them to WALK with a sidearm through the anomaly field without using a bolt.

Yellow- Radiation.

These exist and overlap all over the facility necessitating a full "Suit" to pass through.

A SUIT is defined as matching Top+Bottom in an approved faction color, and a balaclava and or a hood.

 

Green- Bio Anomalies

Respirator or Gas Mask required. (The special safety rules for these will be explained on its own regarding impact rating requirements)

 

Red- Fire Anomalies

Fire Suppressant Unit (bright red clip on 3d printed belt item) must be bought in game from one of the faction vendors, the bar, or if you want the best price, visiting the ecologists.

 

Blue- Electrical Anomalies

Electrical Suppressant Unit (bright blue clip on 3d printed belt item) must be bought in game from one of the faction vendors, the bar, or if you want the best price, visiting the ecologists.

 

Artifacts:

The rewards are great. The risk of entering these deadly areas speed travel even if it slows you down. You will be vulnerable and exposed during this process. But within these zones you will find artifacts. Artifacts are worth in game currency (shop around between factions and POI camps, many NPCs will be giving tasks and quests looking for these) these artifacts come in several varieties and quality grades ranging from simple color coded low grade to valuable direct from universe 3d printed. The reward for these will vary according to rarity and quality.

To find the highest quality artifacts you will need to rent a high end detector from the Ecologist faction (for in game currency)

More to come! The hazard system will be dramatically expanded over time.
