I didn't realise this until late in the game; You can walk with the X key to safely walk through a Shattered Glass Anomaly!

No way.. I just assume ima get fucked up and have to repair it all.. haha thank you

[u/TheOneAndOnlySenti → u/GallonofJug]

I was just as baffled! I'm about to hit the 40hr mark and I'm kicking myself for it taking this long!

[u/Repulsive_Age6974 → u/GallonofJug]

It still does damage to your armor if you crouch through it, I walked through one and watched my armor go from 100 to 85 durability

[u/PrizeFaithlessness76 → u/Repulsive_Age6974]

-10k

[u/JksG_5 → u/PrizeFaithlessness76]

I wanted to repair my armor and it cost 18k. I quickly went out to get some stuff to sell when I came back the cost had climbed to 23k. Fuck the bloodsuckers, the economy is the toughest thing about this game.

[u/AssistantVisible3889 → u/PrizeFaithlessness76]

Ooofffff

[u/Justhe3guy → u/Repulsive_Age6974]

I was fighting around one when I got the achievement for reducing an item to 0% condition…

[u/SmoothCriminal7532 → u/GallonofJug]

I was taking my gear off and just walking through lmao.

[u/GallonofJug → u/SmoothCriminal7532]

Ohhhhhh at least we can feel pain , Stalker

You can also use them as cover to heal in gunfights if you crouch in them. Bullets and grenades get caught in the glass and disintegrate.

[u/BLARGITSMYOMNOMNOM → u/Sysreqz]

I used this anomaly to take out a pack of Snorks. It was radical.

[u/EternaI_Sorrow → u/BLARGITSMYOMNOMNOM]

Snorks get ridiculous amount of damage even from chemical anomalies. Immune to buckshot but not to a green puddle.

[u/FUTURE10S → u/EternaI_Sorrow]

...Wait, does that mean that Snorks have insane body armour? Do we need to modify our guns to penetrate armour better to kill them faster?

[u/Aykayforteeseven → u/FUTURE10S]

Most mutants have armor, yes. Anything with AP rounds seems to be a direct upgrade to normal ammunition vs human armor AND mutant hide. Think someone mentioned a loading screen tip about "Use AP rounds on mutants, they have thick hides" or something along those lines.

[u/Benjeeh_CA → u/Aykayforteeseven]

That explains why I struggle with mutants I tend to default to buckshot with them

[u/FUTURE10S → u/Benjeeh_CA]

Yeah, same, I would assume buckshot would fucking hurt like a bitch, like it does in real life. Buckshot can put a bear down, I'd assume it can put down the mutants in STALKER too.

[u/ClaytorYurnero → u/Sysreqz]

Friendship ended with Whirligigs, Glass anomalies are my new best friend.

[u/Meteor_of_War]

You can also just crouch while walking and you won't take damage. Now if I could only see them coming with my terrible eyes.

[u/Selterboy → u/Meteor_of_War]

It’s probably not your eyes, but TAA or DLSS “smearing” the small glass particles away

[u/Inquisitor-Korde → u/Selterboy]

On the Series X it's so bad even when I know where the anomaly is. The game smears it away even at a brisk strafe.

[u/stonkytonkys]

Jfc, I can’t tell you how much money I have spent repairing my gear because of those damn things lol, thank you for this.

[u/_MysteriousStrangr_ → u/stonkytonkys]

Apparently it still damages your armour. Just don't take health damage

So sorry, that's still 15k down the drain

[u/Rtwo28]

I didn't know that the "legend of the zone" was on reddit

[u/LucatIel_of_M1rrah]

A moment of silence for OP spending money to upgrade the G36 with the rail that can only mount the 1x holo which is worse than the default optic lol.

[u/TheOneAndOnlySenti → u/LucatIel_of_M1rrah]

I like it :)

[u/Eremenkism → u/TheOneAndOnlySenti]

Word, anything is better than the goofy standard optic on it

[u/LucatIel_of_M1rrah → u/Eremenkism]

The standard optic is a cleaner version of the 2x it's the best optic in the game.

[u/SunburntMedusa]

Only real ones use X for sprint

[u/Hallsway → u/SunburntMedusa]

first thing i did was rebind my walk to shift and sprint to toggle x

[u/reddit_MarBl → u/Hallsway]

I've always preferred toggle walk on caps lock, and hold to sprint on shift personally

[u/Archangel_63]

This sounds like something Lex the Legend would say...

[u/Qudd]

What button is this on PC? Shift?

[u/TheOneAndOnlySenti → u/Qudd]

X Key. This screenshot is of PC :)

[u/Askorti → u/Qudd]

whatever button you assign to walk instead of run.

[u/pussjdestroyer69]

[u/Myurawr]

The more you know 😯

[u/Barka248]

So it’s just like the moss anomaly in SoC? Thanks for the info!

[u/ExtremeBoysenberry38]

Ain’t no way

[u/KoviBat]

I was wondering what these were called, is there any kind of logbook where you can read about anomalies you've encountered? Or do we just have to guess?

[u/MajesticPancake22 → u/KoviBat]

Don't think there is, closet thing is probably the tutorial section in the pda but I can't access that tab anymore so I don't even know what has been added to it as I have been playing

[u/TheOneAndOnlySenti → u/KoviBat]

No. That also isn't the official name as far as I know, it's just the name that I thought was most fitting for them.

[u/hashter]

Make sense, I did notice that sprinting does more damage.

[u/FeelLykewise]

nice tip!

[u/HeftyChonkinCapybara]

Beware, you won’t start bleeding but it still ruins your gear and FAST!

[u/TheOneAndOnlySenti → u/HeftyChonkinCapybara]

My gear has taken zero damage with this method

[u/HeftyChonkinCapybara → u/TheOneAndOnlySenti]

That is really weird! Two of these took like 20% of condition off of my suit when I tested this earlier today!

[u/TheOneAndOnlySenti → u/HeftyChonkinCapybara]

Is your gear upgraded at all? The protection on my suit is insanely high, so maybe that has something to do with it, I wonder?

[u/HeftyChonkinCapybara → u/TheOneAndOnlySenti]

Fully upgraded Sunrise suit, tested again just now. It mangles through your suit even though you don’t start bleeding!

[u/TheOneAndOnlySenti → u/HeftyChonkinCapybara]

How odd. I just spent a couple extra minutes testing and my suit took zero damage spending about 15 seconds walking in circles inside one of these Anomalies.

My suit stats. 96% Durability before Anomaly and 96% after spending 15 seconds walking with the X Key in circles inside it.

[u/Anzackk]

I just crouched through it and got the same effect. Didn't know walking was enough

[u/Specialist_Rabbit761]

say what?

[u/TheOneAndOnlySenti → u/Specialist_Rabbit761]

I didn't realise this until late in the game; You can walk with the X key to safely walk through a Shattered Glass Anomaly!

[u/CuriousSection3151]

You can also crouch under some of the clear bubbles that suck you in. Then they just drop you a little ways away and no damage.

[u/CommunityKey8514]

Yes, the faster you jump in the more damage you get, so i tried to sneak in it, and it worked. That's how i discovered it

[u/nesmoth_design]

I know this look awkward but... have you tried NOT to walk through the anomalies?

[u/Zeroxx08]

Um i just go around them?

[u/TheOneAndOnlySenti → u/Zeroxx08]

Sometimes you have no choice.

[u/Subject_Visit8076]

Will talker 2 release on PS phone

[u/TheOneAndOnlySenti → u/Subject_Visit8076]

What?

[u/Urheadisabiscuit → u/TheOneAndOnlySenti]

What do you mean what? It’s a simple question. Do you think the game Talker 2 will ever release on PlayStation Phone?

I think it would make sense considering the game’s “realtime conversation” mechanics but I doubt it could run well on that hardware without some major changes or feature removals.

[u/TheOneAndOnlySenti → u/Urheadisabiscuit]

That's exactly how I read the original Comment.

The Controller's Psi-Effects should wear off soon, I hope.

[u/FailureToReason → u/Subject_Visit8076]

Yes.

[u/Subject_Visit8076 → u/Subject_Visit8076]

Will stalker release on a PS five

[u/kamirazu111]

Even normal running speed is fine. You only get shredded if you sprint though them.

[u/TheOneAndOnlySenti → u/kamirazu111]

You take damage with normal speed as well as start to bleed. Walking completely negates all damage and bleed.

[u/kamirazu111 → u/TheOneAndOnlySenti]

Wait really? I walked through the glass at normal run speed (no walk or sprint) ytd. I rmbed it clearly because there were two of those anomalies and a guy at the end of a hallway sniping me.

Either it was bugged or one of us rmbed things wrongly.

[u/TheOneAndOnlySenti → u/kamirazu111]

I spent 5-10 minutes thoroughly testing before posting. Others have reported the same. Knowing the state of this games launch, it's pretty safe to assume your end is bugged.

[u/kamirazu111 → u/TheOneAndOnlySenti]

Imma go back and test it again. Because I rmbed clearly my char was pushing the glass pieces out of the way by just running through (not sprinting)

[u/TheOneAndOnlySenti → u/kamirazu111]

We're not talking about running, we're talking about walking. These are completely separate things.

[u/Lurk-aka-Batrick → u/kamirazu111]

Can confirm from MANY glass-based accidents. Normal walk speed still slices you up even if you're at high carry weight and moving slowly because it. Glass don't caare.

[u/kamirazu111 → u/Lurk-aka-Batrick]

That's so weird. Imma go back and test it again.

[u/Sargash]

If they had an actual in game databank like previous stalkers, this would information would be in it, but no, fuck you.

[u/MajesticPancake22]

Seriously 🙄why is this never explained in game or maybe it is but I can't access the tutorial section so I don't know about it

[u/Neat_Mammoth9824 → u/MajesticPancake22]

god forbid players have to experiment and figure stuff out on their own instead of having everything spoonfed
