Hazards, Radiation & Anomaly Fields. V1.1
 

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.

​​

Traversing around them will take time and effort. Crossing into them without the correct protection and procedures results instant player death no revive. You are here for the STALKER experience, Don't cheat.

​​

Traversal:

Players are given a red bolt tied to 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. They can also purchase one in real life from Etsy or have one 3d Printed! These personally owned ones can not be looted.

​​

​​​​​Yellow- Anomaly Fields
You may ONLY traverse these with the bolt and string or detector and side arm with a gas mask equipped. You may only carefully walk through these. 

​

Red- Deadly Anomaly Fields and Psi Rad zones.

You may step into these with a detector out and a gas mask equipped ONLY to investigate an anomaly or complete quest tasks YOU MAY NOT PASS THROUGH THESE. If you fall into one of these you are now a zombie and must shamble to the nearest POI and attack firing from the hip till killed.

 

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)

To recover and artifact you MUST:
Have a Scanner out and Equipped
Have a Gas Mask Equipped
Have an Artifact Container (Rented from vendors)
Carefully place the artifact into the container
Slowly exit the anomaly field following the traversal rules.

​​​

Artifact Containers:
Large and unwieldy often requiring large pouches, or even backpacks, these portable shielding devices hold the artifact and prevent its radiation and psi effects from killing the player.

These are rented from vendors. These can be looted.
