Compass artifact

[Cerberus]

Just wondering, anyone manage to get this artifact from the RIBS location that is quite near to Zalissa?

[fravol_]

i tried jump with compass in the Bubble (near Zalissa), like it was quest in Call of pripyat, you know, but nothing happened and i just died . Tried jump in teleport anomaly (Cordon) - nothing.

Weird Bolt is bugged. If you did not save your game, hard save, before you first visited tornado area in Yantar and the bolt happen not to spawn, or spawn under ground, you are out of luck as it seem the artifact is permanently bugged. I was hunting for it for several days and visited the area multiple times after various amounts of times passed in game and it is still not there.

I would not count getting major artifact from any anomaly in Lesser Zone. I recall reading that Lesser Zone anomalies have lower or restricted spawn rate for better artifacts.

I got mine from Claw in Zaton I believe.

I've gotten 2 Hypercubes from that first fire cave in the lesser zone. Magnetic Cave? You can definitely get the better artifacts early game with statistics on your side.

I got it from under the collapsed train bridge next to the Garbage base.

Compass at Ribs is confirmed then? Awesome. I was trying on a 4th compass in other locations but kept getting buggy gravitation bubbles that would crash my game now and then. Or sometimes, spawn the artifact in the terrain, etc. Ribs is an easy anomaly to farm in comparison

trying on a 4th compass? So do you really need them for something guys? I mean, there is cap for resistance. You can test it: equip 1 compass -> rmb grenade and take dmg from it. Then equip 2-3-4-5 compasses -> rmb grenade and take dmg from it. No difference.

I don't know about the compass. But 2 thunderberry > 1 thunderberry. Tested. There are some caps for sure though. Carry weight is 140. But no one has done extensive testing on all artifacts to see what the caps are. As for if you really need "4", assuming it puts you at the cap, in terms of difficulty of the game (on veteran) in my opinion it's not necessary but so is 0 too. Some people will progress the main quest, do a few side quests equip whatever they find and that's how they want to play. I enjoy hunting down unique guns, attachments, blueprints, rare artifacts, etc.

Just tested 2 vs 3 vs 4 thunderberry. There doesn't seem to be any difference between 2 and 3. So, it's possible the cap for the same type of artifact is 2. The difference was in the energy regeneration speed. Standing still doesn't affect regen. But walking will, putting 2 above 1.

I think there is a misunderstanding here, I am not hunting for the weird bolt, I am hunting for the weird nut, which you are "suppose" to only get from the fire whirly anomaly. hehe.

Sounds like I am gonna like thunderberry more and more, if only I can get my grubby hands on one. LOL

Ahh, alright, thanks for the info.
But I probably will try other areas. Maybe claw.
But I did find another gravity anomaly site and its quite close to slagheap, might give that a few tries. hehe

Might be just luck or you might have to get far into the story, I just got one from the anomaly right by the Rookie Village. I am pretty far into the game so maybe it helped?

Its possible I suppose, but I am those "trial and error" type of guys. So gonna go with my stubborn nature, give it a few tries, then move on.

On side note, gotten my hands on a Dnipro and slap a silencer on it and a sniper scope, that think nails stalkers like flies. LOL

Can confirm that I re-acquired compass at the nuclear waste dump near Rookie Village. So it DOES spawn there.

Rookie village, hmm, Need to look it up on where it is. But thanks for the info. Might check it out if the current anomaly I plan to visit also have low compass chances.

The village is in south-west in back of the map and there's a military base (hostile obv) near it. It's also in the original position it was in the original trilogy.

But yea, I'll try and look it up later. lol
