I’m in a mission that requires me to go past a lot of lightning anomalies and I know if I spam my probes it sorta helps but I always seem to get hit by them and 9/10 times I die.

Throw probes where you wanna go rather than trying to define the borders of the lightning anomaly

#

If a path seems clear throw a probe to the left and right of it

#

And if a lightning is blocking a path

#

You can get past it by throwing a probe and running through since lightning anomalies have a reactivation period

#

How long is the reactivation period usually

2 seconds. If you absolutely must go thru one and know you might be hit, equip the gas mask and inject a stim immediately, so that you are constantly healing on contact.

If you're on quest just avoid for now they are still bugged

Yea I'm on quest @dusk bluff

dusk bluff
#

You’ve not had the unfortunate missions that place the helix at an unreachable area within lightning anomalies

agile otter
#

Man I'm done with the game @dusk bluff and yea I have I just run in grab it and put in the backpack and heal

#

And there are no unreachable are just confusing maps

A bug is a bug, you’re just lucky you didn’t encounter it.

agile otter
#

You talking about the one where there's no more

dusk bluff
#

It’s not a skill issue, it’s a simple bug.

agile otter
#

I never said skill issue I said bad mission

dusk bluff
#

The ones where you literally will die 10x over before you can even get to it. Their located within a cluster of lightning

#

Run out then heal also heal while going in with gas mask

dusk bluff
#

Do you not understand what a confirmed bug is?

#

You’re not gonna be able to explain it away

#

Ha ok bud.

Good for you, feel free to post up a video of how you manage to do it in the latest quest version

There was a post on the subreddit I think some time yesterday that said you can just throw a grenade in there and destroy them until the next tide.

orchid phoenix
#

no.

calm wolf
#

wait that doesn't work?

orchid phoenix
#

no, you cant kill anomalies

calm wolf
#

did you try it? I didn't so it might not work, but if you are just saying no it won't because anomalies can't be killed you might be incorrect. here is the message link. #socials message

orchid phoenix
#

Hmm

#

If it does work that's a bug

#

I'll be giving it a try later

Yeah handy on quest, no longer needed on pc as they fixed it

#

Next update coming in October for both pc and quest which will fix it for quest also

orchid phoenix
#

Well to my surprise this actually does work on the pc version at least. so it shows you can sometimes believe what you read on the internet lol

Yes

ancient prairie
#

I just overcame it by putting all my shit in a nearby safe house ran into the anomaly and harnessed my inner Tom Brady to chuck the artifact out of the anomaly hive before I died

#

I believe this bug was addressed in current Q2 version?
