What is an anomaly and how to deal with each one in Stalker 2: Heart Of Chornobyl

This is it the first anomaly you discover when traversing the sewer area at the beginning of the game. On your first encounter, this orb will simply follow a set path and you can easily avoid it.

However, when you find it after the prologue, instead, he will start following you as soon as you come into his line of sight from any direction. The only way to avoid him is to enter special rooms he can't enter or avoid his line of sight.

You'll commonly find small random fires on the ground that will turn into a full fire if you get close and slowly drain your health. As you progress, you can also find small lava pits that start spewing lava straight at anything approaching.

To avoid outbreaks, just throw a barrage at them and run and jump on him as soon as he stops. As for lava pits, you must avoid their range because there is no other way.

This is another common anomaly that first appears after the first placement of the scanner. You can easily see electricity on the ground when they are around.

These are also easily countered just throw a bolt to activate them and then run.

This is one of the anomalies that is hard to see with the eyes, especially when you are sprinting. They can be identified cluster of leaves in a circular pattern with an occasional sheen in the middle.

If you get too close, this anomaly will suck your character seconds before taking damage. You can also avoid this with a screw.

You'll start finding this anomaly once you get to the trash area, and it basically starts a spark on the spot where your character would be in a few seconds if he kept walking along the same trajectory.

If you are in his AoE, you get lightning, concussion, and take damage. It can be difficult to avoid if you start getting hit, so the best way is to bait her location to one side and then run in the opposite direction.

This is another anomaly you'll find in the Garbage area, and it's also one of the few thatDo not sound the siren when you are nearby. If you walk or run through them, they will deal damage and give you the bleed condition.

Although they are hard to notice, you can easily duck around them if you notice them beforehand.

You will start to see this anomaly in the Swamp area and it will basically be a giant bubble suspended in the air. If you get too close, this bubble will begin to move slowly towards You.

If it gets close or you throw a bolt at it, it will burst into several small bubbles and if you go inside you will take poison damage these bubbles.

Another of the most common anomalies is acid, which is the most easily recognized environmental problem in the game. Its bright green color for both pools and vapors makes it easy to spot from a distance.

Although there is no way to remove them, you can simply walk from the side without causing any damage.

While traversing The Zone, you'll occasionally notice a large distortion in mid-air. This means the gravitational anomaly of the sphere drains you in the middle and deals heavy damage if you get close

You can easily avoid this by throwing a bolt through it first and then passes by before reappearing.

This is a non-lethal anomaly that you can identify with a bunch of flying debris in the air. If you approach it, it will it just blows you up. In some areas, it can help you get to special places.
