HOW DO YOU HIDE FROM EMISSIONS ON THE SWAMPS?!?!?!

[deimos]

I'm over an hour into swamps, doing the main quest, I spend several attempts to kill that pseudogiant that's near the last objective point, but before I even kill him, SUDDENLY - sky is read, emission immenen. I can't find shelter, the houses aren't good enough, I have no time to run back. I load the previous save, I check few locations, I see NO shelter. So what do I do? Load even more early save, sit in the base for an hour waiting for storm to pass and then just hope i can do swamps quickly enough so I don't get caught again? Or is there some tiny-miny shelter just hidden from the view?

When a emission is about to happen a quest pops up for the nearest location, did you not see one?

[Feuver]

Run toward objective. Emission means everything else doesn't matter.

[fox]

Try running faster.

[lockwoodx]

Hide in building with open windows ... SUCCESS!

This is a scripted event that requires following the current quest rather than hiding anywhere else. The quest is badly designed - they wanted to terrify the player with the chimera, and then put them under the time pressure of an emission.

I believe the devs' thought process was: "The player will see emission, and rush toward quest objective"

but, player's first reaction is usually "Oh ♥♥♥♥, I must fight for my life against boss monster" or "Oh ♥♥♥♥, I must run back and find a safe zone", because Stalker is not a "Push-forward" game like COD/Doom to progress, but rather a wait, patient and play safely game, which is antithesis with what you have to do for this mission.

Yeah.... I got killed so many times here, it was super frustrating. It didn't help that I quick saved right as the Emission was happening and I had too much stuff on me...

Without giving anything away when you run towards Clear Sky after the shack, keep a bit to the right when you leave; "might" be a basement you need to run down before you succumb to the emission. :p

No, it doesn't show the "hide from emission" objective. My guess is its because swaps are out of radio reach. I don't even get the message "emission, find shelter".

Yes. You're doing it wrong. This is a scripted event. You're supposed to run, not fight.

But i killed him. Wasn't I supposed to?

That's not a pseudogiant. That's a Chimera.

Im very sure, that I killed that thing and made it in time

I was overloaded, but avoided the fight and chugged energy drinks like crazy until i barely made it alive in the Clear Sky base underground. You HAVE to run, don't loot, don't stop to recharge stamina, don't fight - run and chug energy drinks or whatever keeps you running.

Hmm, I'll try just running past it. Too bad I have to drop so much loot so I can run again :c

when the "red" appears you will get a orange mission to hide in a safe house. look for your compass at the top it will guide you to safety when "red sky bad" comes upon you

[deimos]

YES. So I ignored the mutants and just sprinted towards the quest point, chugging the energy drinks along the way. What a stupid quest event.

Kids today don't know about my "gather all loot into a dead body and carry a dead body" strategy from the first stalker

Not in case. The game apparently expects me to just follow the main quest objective.

Why are you so insecure all of a sudden? I play the game the way I want it, deal with it.

And came here to rage about a scripted event that you were doing wrong

Let's be honest here, this particular scripted event is ass and happens DEEP within a territory with no traders and no stashes. It's not unreasonable players would be encumbered and would not expect a boss monster AND an emission at the same time. Especially in a game where most times where you run/rush, you end up face first in anomalies (which they also do with glass-shards in that sequence.) You're being an ass.
