Emission frequency

[Broadsword]

How often to emissions occur in game? Are they random? I've seen two tied to story quests but besides that I've had times where I've gone like less than 40 minutes with one and other times where I've been playing for hours and it hasn't happened.

There is scripted and unscripted ones. I believe they are on a hidden timer that goes off the last time one happened. I have wandered around not doing any missions and have had emissions pop up as well as the scripted ones related to missions. They are not very frequent in general.

i think they are mostly scripted.

I only had one unscripted one ( i think... it was kinda random after i left the sultansk), but the game gives you a questmarker to reach a savepoint (was just an open garage for me at that point - could see the whole spectacle from m distance to the door.

the game does not give an emission if there is not a reachable savepoint.

The "unscripted" emissions occur after you collect an artifact from an anomaly. For me they happen about two in-game days after collecting an artifact. Emissions restock anomalies with artifacts.
