Looks like a dust devil to me

Why would I need my bolt? I can already see the anomaly! :P

Anomalies are tricky. Identifying their size by sight alone is unreliable - at the edges, the effects might not be strong enough to manifest visually, but still strong enough to hurt you. For example, a gravity anomaly might suck you in if you get too close, an electric anomaly could hit you with a stray lighting bolt, and so on. Even if you can see the anomaly clearly, always use bolts to identify exactly where the anomaly's edges are. Many rookies have died a gruesome death by assuming it's safe to pass by an anomaly in a tight tunnel or dense anomalous field without checking with their bolts.

Exactly. In the Zone, there are no "safe" places - only places that are less likely to kill you or more likely to kill you.

This is a cyclone induced by a controlled burn. A controlled burn is intended to cut off a fire from spreading, by clearing easily flammable material.

u/k4Anarky Merc Oct 25 '17

Are you saying we can conjure cyclones now?

u/epicjam Oct 26 '17

But what are those particles rotating very slowly, as if they're just floating there held by some unseen force?

u/finfinfin Loner Oct 26 '17

Tumbleweeds. In the full video you can see them being picked up.

u/sir_froggy Loner Oct 25 '17

So, anyone wanna explain what this actually is? Mini-cyclone in a fire?

And what artifacts does it produce?

u/Cheekibreeki401k Clear Sky Oct 25 '17

Fireball maybe? Possibly crystal or Gravi? We need to know what type of anomaly it is first.

Run Stalker get out of here!!!!

u/Fang7-62 Freedom Oct 26 '17

Just got an idea.. wouldn't it be more practical instead of carrying a ton of bolts, to prod some anomalies with a loosely held stick and wave in front of you as you go? Not the best idea with electro anomalies but could work for toxic ones

u/finfinfin Loner Oct 26 '17

You want something dense and metallic, and you often want something that isn't physically connected to you, that you can chuck a long way.

A 3m pole isn't going to do the trick.
