Greeting bro's, I managed to get a pic of this lovely sunset out in the Zone a few days ago.

Didn't get any artifacts but managed to salvage the ignition coil from the car. I plan to try and build some kind of electric fence to keep critters away from the base at night.

Cont.

Before camera phones were the norm I looked around a few places in Ma. Good times. I found a coyote den in an old factory in eastern mass, piles of bones everywhere. Scared the hell out of everyone. No human stuff, lots of cats, dogs and deer bones, shit in huge piles. Those fuckers kill a lot of stuff. No pics I'm afraid, I used a Polaroid at the time.

>>385793
Electric fences should definitley keep the dogs away. I'm not so sure about more horrific creatures that reside in the Zone.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a coded acronym, literally: Scavenger, Trespasser, Adventurer, Loner, Killer, Explorer, and Robber.
Think a modern, gritty Indiana Jones in a radioactive, actively hostile wasteland that is bit Innawoods and Borderlands at the same time (sort of).
As for this thread, it pertains mostly to Urban/Rural Exploration, mainly of abandoned structures, as this is a prominent activity in the actual S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game.
Quite fun, really. You might consider trying it sometime. :)

For Shadow of Chernobyl, it grants +5 Bulletproofing at the cost of +5 Radiation.
In Clear Sky, it raises carrying capacity by 10 kg at the cost of +1 Radiation.
In Call of Pripyat, it grants a +4 kg to carrying capacity at the cost of +1 Radiation.
Also, between ShoC and Clear Sky it had a model change, and became a glowing, many-quilled sphere.

This wonderful artifact is formed by the Springboard anomaly. The use of the artifact demands the neutralization of deadly radiation. Expensive and rare, this artifact is extremely interesting for scientific expeditions and other research activity in the Zone.
Acquisition
This is a rare artifact. It is possible to find at least one of these artifacts on the edges of Agroprom, however these areas have very high radiation levels. Baldy will reward the player with this artifact after completing his mission Kill the traitor. Several Night Stars can be found near the Monolith "sculpture" in Pripyat, and more can be found at the Chernobyl NPP.
Pricing
The Night Star can be sold for a disappointing 3250 Ru (Sakharov gives 5000 Ru).

Hope this helps. Pic related, ShoC inventory icon for the Night Star artifact.

the path was uncertain, and there were ruins built menago,.. in the near camp are often told stories of strange sounds that are heard and light sprites that are seen around the area; hence why I decided to wander the place.

I discovered these ruins were constructed by the prisoners of the losing band of a war against oppression, and the force of those men still manate from the rocks leading to the formation of rarely seen artifacts

When I finally arrived to the waters, the level of radiation were skyrocketing so I had little time to search and scavenge. I didnt need much though, several spark artifacts were laying in the bottom of the river like they were expecting me...
