Electric anomalies Probeda Factory

[76561197976445719]

I play realistic + max enemies + Iron Man.
Great game.
Except the broken transmission towers in Probeda Factory.
I could get all the artifacts once, but it's extremely frustrating and tedius, trying to understand the electric anomalies area, because of delayed and cooling down zaps is an extremely slow and boring process that drains all the excitement off the game.
Please make them more visible and easier to map, because I have better things to do than spend 30 minutes crouching around a small area to find the gap between slow ass anomalies.
I'm ignoring any further quest in that zone, not worth my time and a huge adrenaline killer.

If I had to guess, this could also be the result of "random anomalies" overlapping with an area with anomalies already present. I've never been in your situation in that area since I have them off due to the above problem.

Overall though the lightning anomalies DO need some kind of rework.

Heres a trick I do.. hold the probes in front of your face, flick your wrist left and right rapidly whilst spamming the trigger, than SPRINT and move as fast as you can and you will dodge them

Had the same problem in the same area. The lightening anomalies are horrible. I cant tell where they will strike. I have encountered them in the second map as well. Maybe there is a way you can tell but I havent figured it out. I never used probes so maybe thats what them are used for. Best way around it is to download the mod off Vortex that eliminates the damage. You will still drop what is in your hand but wont hurt you. There is a mod that takes them and/or the shock anomalies but as far as I know they dont work. One wont even let the game load and other just freezes everything when you load up the game.

This game is so good, I haven't even looked at the options. This is in the game vanilla? to toggle anomalies?

You can only toggle the RANDOM anomalies, the base/static ones can only be removed with external mods.
In the options change "number of enemies" to have extra enemies, it really pisses me that they are not maxed by default and that I can't increase that by enough. Wish there was an "Extreme horde apocalypse of death amount of enemies" option...

Just play holdout in Payday 2 VR

Yeah you can hit "configure" in your options and change quite a few different settings, although some only take into effect after a tide change. There's a setting for "random anomalies" and if you can't be bothered with anomalies in general (I personally find the maze miniqame tedious and boring) you can also lower their damage.

as Mittens pointed out, I'm pretty sure the idea is to force them to trigger on a probe and then run through. it can feel lame and IS dangerous but it works. plus I suggest taking extra probes because there is a good chance the ones in your hand will get hit a some point and force you to drop them. best to just use another bag than die trying to get the old ones.

The idea is you use probes to locate the lightning anomaly,and avoid it entirely. Usually, there is a safe path through but it's not garaunteed. Often at this cluster I find the mission heavy helix spawns surrounded by anomalies and too many to easy probe spam through as well. Tbh the reward for getting heavy helix from this cluster isn't worth it so I never bother any more.

A couple versions back the lightning anomalies were bugged so it was impossible to navigate this field and the one in bolotki village, but it has since been fixed.

If you really need to get past a lightning anomaly with no safe route through you can try throwing an unprimed but damaged (red condition) grenade into it, let the anomaly shock the grenade so it explodes. This 'kills' the anomaly

Wow, you can kill anomalies?

[rubjonny]

I'm not sure if it's intended, but right now yes you can kill electric anomlies with this method. I don't think it works on any of the others though...

[insta†.Nefer]

had the same experience as OP
the problem was that the artifact was in what seemes to be a circle of electric anomalys i couldnt get to it by any means and just wasted a bunch of med pens
btw. it has to be a problem with the anomaly itself cos i play with random anomalys off

Indeed, they were all around.

Just running inside attempting to defuse them by throwing probes is a stupid idea. You are just going to get your corpse in an unreachable position and lose all the gear. Especially in Iron Man mode, but it wouldn't really work also without it, not there, they are too compact and close to each other.

Next time I play I want to try by throwing grenades and see if that really works.

How does one make a grenade red condition?

Keep it in your hand when walking in a shock-anomaly? I know doing that makes my probes and detector red. But to kill shock-anomalies they said to just throw the granade in it, I still have to try.
