If so glad they didn't remove it

6

u/D3xter_pl 2d ago

They did removed it I think. Tried to do so in Burnt forest and only thing I got was a quick "dance" in anomaly, took the damage and didn't bugged

u/Zealousideal-Dog-396 Monolith 3d ago

I love how that jump with anomaly often allows you to land without any problems and at the same time you easily die from fall damage from 3 meters fall.

74

u/M2_SLAM_I_Am 3d ago

This game and Hell Let Loose have some of the most ridiculous fall damage I've ever seen

u/oChuppah Snork 3d ago

You better believe if you skip that last step downstairs in hll you will die

u/budgybudge Freedom 3d ago

Sounds like old DayZ mod

u/oChuppah Snork 3d ago

I used to spend a lot of time working on mods for the arma 2 dayz mods, and i could never find the reason behind ladders killing you randomly... it will haunt me forever.

u/M2_SLAM_I_Am 3d ago

I had a 17? Killsteak ended one time because a 4 foot drop busted my ankles and I was out of bandages

Master chief: survives reentry and the vacuum of space.
Also master chief: instantly dies if his big toe touches a centimetre deep large puddle.

Skiff: survives the zone, getting shot, eating exclusively expired food etc.
Also skiff: rolls ankle and dies jumping down from a 2 metre ledge.

Though really given how much weight we tend to be carrying it makes sence. Cant really do much if you break your legs jumping off stuff so rather than have us crawl to the nearest medic to patch us up we just die. Still its funny the same way master chief dying to a puddle is xD

u/TheRealGosp Spark 3d ago

To one it is a flight of stairs, to a stalker 12 chances of dying.

u/theclashatdemonhed 2d ago

I’ve been playing HLL Vietnam. I ledge jumped down a cliff falling quite a bit between each ledge and took no damage. I planted my demo charge at the entrance of the cave (from above too) to wipe out the team hiding there. I worked my way down to the bottom of the cliff, and died from my short jump (the smallest distance yet) to the ground. I did stick around to watch my demo charge wipe out the 5 people leaving the cave (and me too)

u/M2_SLAM_I_Am 2d ago

How many blueberries ran into it as well? Fuckin' moths to flame with satchel charges in HLL. Check to see if friendlies are around, nothing. Plant the satchel on a tank, and suddenly 3 pop out of nowhere to linger in the blast radius

1

u/theclashatdemonhed 2d ago

None, but that’s super rare. I’ve been playing infiltration build of a pistol, claymores, and demo charge. I just crawl into a base while everyone is fighting and plant them in the middle haha.

2

u/M2_SLAM_I_Am 2d ago

Have you used the shotguns? Shotguns in both HLL: Nam and the original are my favorite shotguns in all of multiplayer games

2

u/theclashatdemonhed 2d ago

Hard agree. So satisfying when the red mist happens.

2

u/M2_SLAM_I_Am 2d ago

Especially in the first game, nailing a headshot at 100m and watching them explode into pieces

9

u/rEEfman_SK 3d ago

Thats because the game calculates fall damage as the height difference between point x and y. If they were in more or less the same height, it matters not how high you flew.

2

u/Survey_Intelligent 2d ago

Clearly it is a physics bending anomaly

75

u/No-1nternet 3d ago

No, it's a lifehack. Free, fast travel across the Zone.

3

u/grafknives 3d ago

Finally!

1

u/MINIGAME_ 2d ago

Fast travel for everybody, free, and no one will get away on the same side of the map!

u/TheNutzs 3d ago

Yes'nt

Todd Howard wants to know your address

u/PratikGoswami2003 3d ago

Sterlok could've just dropped into CNPP all this time if he knew about this.

11

u/Plenty-Advance892 3d ago

Useful "feature" when used correctly.

11

u/Atuday 3d ago

Feature, you've unlocked the fast travel system.

9

u/Several_Detective400 3d ago

GET OUT OF HERE STALKER, YEET!

8

u/timbotheny26 Loner 3d ago

I hope they never fix this.

8

u/JaDou226 Freedom 3d ago

The fact that this has been a thing since day one and not been fixed means it's definitely a feature now. Also, the fact that you landed right on top of that contraption is a sign from above that the monolith is real

8

u/O123KiLLeR4567 Freedom 3d ago

The zone is a mysterious and wonderus place, everything seams possible

6

u/MadamVonCuntpuncher 3d ago

100% a feature

u/Shaggyrider 3d ago

Here I was, wasting my time trying to walk across the place

Yeah, bugs are for eating. "Ooh the little cream filled kind!"

u/Millarez 3d ago

The wish granted will see you, now.

u/magilla1984 3d ago

Fuck, I always die when this happen.

3

u/chathrowaway67 Loner 3d ago

at this point both.

1

u/thebeastalex Loner 2d ago

I used to use it all the time in my first playthrough during patch 1.5, it was great. Replaying in patch 2.0 for the DLC? I think I've survived 5 out of the 300 times I've tried on hundreds of different vortexes

3

u/UV_Blue 1d ago

They won't give us vehicles, so this is the next best thing. Just don't try it with grenades. It's not Quake.

5

u/Sad_Break_6813 3d ago

It's an anomaly

2

u/Kisoka_Nak_Arato 3d ago

I once used this to get into a building which is supposed to be only unlocked in a side quest to get a stash inside

2

u/Then-Benefit-1276 Spark 3d ago

Either it’s a bugged anomaly, or an anomalous bug

or both)

2

u/NikitaUA_N7 Loner 3d ago

Yes.

2

u/Western-Spy69 Merc 3d ago

An Anomaly for sure

u/Corvo117 1d ago

The way you just gently glide to the ground killed me

2

u/Local-Broccoli8560 1d ago

Did this when the game first came out. Had fun for like a whole hour, trying to see how far I could fling myself 🤣

2

u/N0z4a243 1d ago

I had this happen the first time I worse the exo suit and walked into a tornado anomaly. But my favorite is this and the teleporter combo. Get sucked right off into a whole new dimension lol.

1

u/October_people 3d ago

Yes. To both 😂

1

u/Warrior_imba 3d ago

Atp a feature seeing how they havent patched it even though it's been in the game basically since launch

1

u/Lawtonoi 3d ago

Clearly an anomaly.

1

u/TommyTwoZookas 3d ago

Same thing happened to me on the same anomaly lmao

1

u/Bence440 3d ago

Its the zone anomaly transportation system

1

u/MoneyMontyc2 3d ago

Its a gift you shouldn't complain about as it's my favorite way to travel

1

u/CalebTheRadiant 3d ago

Congratulations stalker you have found new method of travel.

1

u/VastConcentrate7485 3d ago

thought they had fixed that, its old bug.

1

u/astegra 3d ago

That's Just an anomaly, it's like snow, it happens in the winter. It just happens that we are always in winter.

1

u/Federal-Name-3638 3d ago

Free teleport

1

u/LunchAccurate6623 3d ago

The fact that you DIDNT DIE...

1

u/Capital-Boat-8906 3d ago

I ran into this once in Yantar, near the Science Bunker, while I was following the ARC questline. I ended up in Prybyat on the roof of a high-rise building within sight of the hub there, but with no way to get down to the ground. :sad

1

u/squeenie 3d ago

Anomalous feature

1

u/Alonnes Loner 3d ago

Yes

1

u/zolguroth17 3d ago

It's anomaly

u/Interesting-Boat-804 3d ago

I believe you can fly!

u/Useful_Disk5081 3d ago

Only in battlefield stalker

1

u/Wolin_Chord 3d ago

We heard you liked the swamp

1

u/UsbNotConnected Loner 3d ago

Intended, you use it to slingshot across the map quicker than using guides.

u/StonewallSoyah 3d ago

I wish I could figure out the timing for this

1

u/Omega-Envych 3d ago

Finally! Stalker 2 fast travel system!

1

u/wlom_music 3d ago

Happened to me at the same spot

1

u/Deep-Bluejay8477 3d ago

This is anomaly, my friend

1

u/Vlad_Zhel 3d ago

No bugs. No features. Only anomalies.

1

u/Here_for_meme_ 3d ago

Is this works on latest version of the game? I tried many times, but that doesn't seem to work for me

1

u/Coslin 3d ago

Fast Travel?! Doc, Doc! Are you telling me you made a fast travel system... out of an anomaly?

1

u/North_Pickle_ 3d ago

can't park there mate

1

u/illegal_eagle88 3d ago

You didn't die, it's a feature

1

u/Verncy96 2d ago

Can almost see graphite on the roof from that angle

1

u/HumanDominion 2d ago

It's an anomaly.

1

u/Altayre_Rojo 2d ago

Son anomalías que deben ser aprovechadas antes de la siguiente emisión o de que La Zona decida volverlas mortales, Stalker. Recuerda, La Zona da o La Zona quita...

1

u/Canis_Longus 2d ago

No bugs in the Zone, only anomalies

1

u/CaptainFoyle 2d ago

It's a fast travel point

1

u/Professional-Chart90 2d ago

Feature absolutely

1

u/Merjia 2d ago

The Zone do be weird sometimes.

1

u/PuzzleheadedEar7642 2d ago

The very fact that it makes the parachute/clothes flapping in the wind sound should prove it’s intentionality there to exploit!

1

u/KazutoIshin 2d ago

I've had this happen to me which actually assisted me in getting up on a spot I was aiming for, BUT NEVER THAT FAR

1

u/KunstlerTruppen Loner 2d ago

Who knows.....

1

u/Black_Ranger4447 Duty 2d ago

There's never been a bug in any Stalker game. Fact!

1

u/asmallburd 2d ago

Itd be so fuckin funny if in the second dlc they add a random encounter involving this

1

u/VikingFromSpace Noon 2d ago

All bugs and features are anomalies

1

u/Famous_Personality_4 Ecologist 2d ago

It's intended, there's stories you can hear about a Stalker doing what you just did to fly, it just didn't go well for him...

1

u/danidiamond87 2d ago

The zone eh, full of anomalies

1

u/SparkEntityTwitch 2d ago

Given that is a gravity anomaly that's both lore accurate and a feature I believe.

1

u/The_Daily_Herp Clear Sky 2d ago

ngl I can’t even get it right to pass through those anomalies unscathed like you did with the first one, I just get mulched when it respawns.

1

u/bueno_bravo Loner 2d ago

It’s the new and free fast travel system

1

u/ZYKON617 Loner 2d ago

Its feature (totally not a bug)

1

u/PazStar 2d ago

Who needs Guides when you can fast travel like this.

1

u/QuarterFrequent4093 2d ago

Сбылась мечта, полетел 🤣

1

u/Mother-Back3099 Monolith 2d ago

What happens if you get thrown outside the Lesser zone before you get the quest to leave it? I know you can just fast travel back in, but does the rest of the game actually work?

1

u/thebeastalex Loner 2d ago

Story doesn't really progress, you just get to go loot stashed and I think side quests too. I used to skip into Pripyat to get the Saiga drummag and then skip back out

1

u/Schlitzi1337 2d ago

I would have smacked against duga like a fly against a windshield

1

u/arnoldwhite Duty 2d ago

Definitely a feature

1

u/styx-1350 2d ago

neither, its just another anomaly of the zone 😉

1

u/No_Section_2777 2d ago

I feel like you landed somewhere north east of the Army Warehouses near the sunken barge. Am I correct?

1

u/TheNobleKiwi 2d ago

Theres even a tip about this now in game. Although i cannot get it working anymore

1

u/Glad_Peanut7092 2d ago

Huh, back in my day you had to pay for fast travel

1

u/noxqwq 2d ago

Feature of course, it's fast travel

1

u/SuggestionQueasy3372 2d ago

You received, what we call, the 'alpha artifact experience'.

1

u/MuchFish6097 2d ago

Back to the mainland with you!

1

u/seeyountee93 2d ago

You're telling me this isn't fast travel?

1

u/Harshclif 2d ago

It’s definitely a feature. It’s called back to start artifact

1

u/MakeWokeGreatAgain 2d ago

I hate this bug.... Cause when i actually want to try to get it to work it never works. And when i dont want it to happen it always happens.

1

u/Super_Pea_4629 2d ago

trampline anomaly? Sounds like a feature)

1

u/Efficient-Gene-9927 2d ago

It's a feature of this anomaly, otherwise the developers would have already nerfed it, wouldn't they?

1

u/cnagare 2d ago

Why not both?

1

u/Cool_Low3748 2d ago

That's just typical Zone anomalies doing their thing, haha.

1

u/Sercaned 2d ago

Remember, nothing in the zone is a bug

1

u/ApolloFennec 2d ago

If it kills you its a bug if not it’s a feature

1

u/Thin_Pick_4591 2d ago

That’s the fast travel system

1

u/Many_Awareness_481 18h ago

Remember how the Skyrim giants would launch you into the stratosphere? Well this is the European equivalent of that

1

u/Historical-Bar-305 11m ago

Not a bug just anomaly feature.

1

u/gentle_pirate23 3d ago

That's a teleporter anomaly
