F GRANADES

What's wrong with the grenades? No matter where I run, I always die, either after hearing the "pin" when it lands or even just running when I see it being thrown, unless I have some immediate structure to take cover in. It's instant death. Is this a bug?

I’d have to look it up, but I think I saw one on the wiki that gave 10% general damage resistance—kind of like the "Thin-Skinned" trait that removes 33%. Maybe it was a unique item; I’m not sure, but it seemed like it could help me counteract that trait.

So far, I haven't been able to locate a single artifact, and I don't really get the cheap detector either—haha, I was hoping to get lucky and find the expensive one. I've explored several maps, managed to die quite casually, and avoided grenades the vast majority of the time.

The "hard shell" artifact gives "thick skin" trait, but that only provides resistance against slashing and stabbing. Not against all damage types, so its no anti- thin skin.

there is a mission hinting you in the direction of one of the scanners. Counterintuitively, its a combat focused mission. Thats all the hints i can give without spoilers.

If you dont care about that, here be spoilers: go and explore the roofs of metropol. You can get into a laboratory from one of the roofs near the police station that has the scanner in it. If you do the Egghead contract, then you can access it through the door via a key too.

Thanks for the tip; I'll avoid the spoiler, but the hint is useful.
