Bug: No Shelter in the Swamps

[Widowmaker]

None of the areas in the swamps are "Emission Safe". The fishing hamlet, second vanguard, old church, pumping station, burnt farmstead. So if you are doing ad asperim per aspera main quest and an emission comes through its game over.

Theres a lot of bugs and ♥♥♥♥ but come on GSC. Its not like you can spawn again and the emission is over, its just game over.

How is this fun? Did you play your own game?

There is even a building that is formed in the ground at one of the locations. You walk in and the storm calms, but nope - emission kills you.

Not to ruin it, but you best hope you dont have to run from the things while said emission suddenly pops. Best part seems to be when i load an earlier save there is no emission that comes through right away. So frustrating.

Good to know, I was just heading to the swamps.

Sounds like you're just frustrated though. You're going to die... like.. a lot. That's typical for STALKER games.

Once an emission starts it shows you the closest shelter on the map. Have you checked where that is?

Yep had to reload an earlier save because during the friggin main mission that FORCES you out in the swamp I had an emission hit. Brilliant game design...

lol you clearly have not been in the swamp. No safe areas and traversing it takes a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of time

I don't know how any of that is relevant. It still shows the closest shelter on the map. I once had one pretty far away and had to drink all my energy drinks and heal a bit to make it to the shelter, but I made it.

No, it doesn't. As a matter of fact, another bug (maybe, probably) they dont announce the emissions while out in the swamp - and it doesn't show any safe locations (and i've run to all of them and been in all the buildings dying over and over trying to figure it out, hence why i posted all the locations in my original post) In my game, there is a generic stay safe from the emission icon in the center of the map. It stopped doing that every emission. So to be clear, I ran to all the places. I tried every building. Your dead every one. How are you not seeing relevance?

I think there is a "No emissions" mod on Nexus. Use it at least until you're done with the swamps.

It's actually scripted.
You need to run in direction of main quest marker, there will be the only shelter.

its a scripted event your suppose to run to the marker

[StepH]

I am in the same situation. "Stuck" in the swamps. I am waiting to see if there is a safe place that comes up. I don't understand why the markers say it is safe but it is not.

You have to reach the bottom of the swamp, get to the objective and then go underground. It is a scripted story event.

Idk, call of pripyat had an item that allows you to survive the emission, very rare but still. Stalker 2 has no such items?

Instead of coming here blaming the game you could have spendt 3 mins on youtube and find the solution. It's a scripted event and you need to run like hell the shortest route. Go all the way inside the shelter underground.

[NIKKE Reference]

When doing this quest I had the same thing. I believe the emission is to direct you to the Clear Sky bunker cause that is the only safe place from the emission.
