Wandering lights anomaly in the Zaton area.

[Macuckle]

Have you guys found the artefact in this area? I can't find it for the life of me, no idea what to do here. Any tips?

[Ol'Chum]

Apparently its just a bottle on a ground, random spawn in the zone of the anomaly. cant find it myself but have seen pictures. My least favorite anomaly so far, doesnt do anything and just wastes time

[breadeaterheh]

I had been trying to find that stupid bottle for hours. Gave up, screw this crap.

Free antirad and CoP-goldfish grade carry weight, for just minor debuff, it's just great. Worth the time. Be patient, you guys are better than that. You've waited for decade, it's a piece of cake compared to that!

I just grabbed it myself after a long while of wasting my time. Turns out, you have to wait until night when the titular wandering lights are out and the compass goes away when inside the area. I found it under one of the lights.

This anomaly seems bugged for me. I've spent hours trying to find the bottle for nothing.

Best way is to save on the location at 21:55. After lights spawn go look under closest, prioritize those above rocks(easier to spot it). If didn’t find- reload. I spent hours trying to find bottle conventional way, even died couple times. But found it on third attempt by using this save method.

I found this method on reddit and used it 15+ times to no avail.

Yeah, idk. I spent about 2hrs on this too. Loading just before the spawn, the running around the area, checked these spots marked on that map too with a comb. Nothing. I'm feeling there is something more to this artifact.

Same thing, no artifact, apparently it fell under the textures

[Zefar]

I tried with a mod that made the scanner detect these unique ones and it wouldn't detect it.

So it is bugged for me too. I even tried after an emission storm which is when they reset the stuff.

Weird Water is the legendary artifact you can find in this anomaly. The artifact does not show on your detector, you have to run around and check the ground under the green/yellow lights. Un-equip your weapons, use high chemical resistance gear or artifact and have medkits ready. Good luck finding it.

Weird Water is absolute must have artifact if you like to go for a long exploration missions. It grants you massive bonus to carry weight (+40kg) and also makes you significantly more resilient to radiation. If you combine this artifact with Liquid Rock, only those areas that are meant to kill you via irradiation will kill you, everything else can be shrugged off.

You should make a hard save at a good distance before you approach the anomaly--there is a bug that can spawn the artifact underground. The hard save should prevent this, however, it only work if you have not yet come close enough to the anomaly to trigger the spawn.

Guides falsely claim that the bottle spawns at static spots under static lights. It is not. I found mine sitting on a rock in the complete darkness.

Once I found out how great this artifact is, it is a must have at the first chance you get. Make a hard save at 21:30 about 140m from the anomoly symbol on the map. Then go to that symbol on the map on the plateau and make a quick save at 21:50. Once it turn 22:00 the lights start and start looking by any rocks. If you have not found it within 2-3 minutes reload and try again. I have done this at least 4 times and it works every time without reloading more than 2 or 3 times. It really is a game changing artifact and I run there as soon as I get to Garbage.
