Escape from the anomaly field in Stalker 2

Escape from the anomaly field in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is the first serious obstacle after the prologue, and to get out of it, you will need to use bolts. This will open the way to a more expansive world, namely the Small Zone. In this guide, we will offer some useful tips that will help you successfully escape the anomaly field.

Once in the anomaly zone, carefully inspect one of the edge sections of the field and throw a bolt into it — it can be taken in hand using a special section in the equipment menu. In fact, it doesn't really matter whether you throw the bolt through your hand or under your arm, because when it gets into the field, it will activate the anomaly. Use this time to run forward.

If this method does not help to move forward, most likely the reason is that you are trying to run too early or too late, and also, perhaps, you do not go far enough from the field after passing through the anomaly.

The gap you create remains open for only three seconds, so you will need to run with all your might. In addition, the field has a damage zone that can be fatal even if you do not touch it. Therefore, keep running a little further after passing through the gap to get out safely. There is also a tornado in the anomaly field, and if you accidentally end up inside, it will take about half of your health. Watch the leaves on the trees, which can indicate its location, and try not to get inside.

It is important to note that such anomalies will occur throughout the game. You may encounter distorted anomalies, field barriers, tornadoes, as well as areas of electricity and acid puddles. Therefore, watch more guides on Stalker 2 on our website, listen to your detector and be vigilant not to miss the danger.
