need help. yaniv weird bolt not spawning at all.

[Hazzmat]

im on the crane. i go in the tornado anomaly. i get battered i heal i got to the designated catch point while inside the eye. no bolt. getting really frustrated this is my fifth attempt i will not spawn

Just move on. Once you have encountered this bug and did not re-load save before you triggered this issues, you can not fix it. There is a way to spawn it via mods & console commands but I have not seen any post claiming there is a fix to get it spawn once it is bugged.

I have the same problem. GSC wrote me that there are problems with arci artefacts. They know about this problem. It will be solved in future

ive made three trips to and from gutting the stashes before i engaged the tornado is that how far back or is it a proximity issue?

Weird water and weird bolt are bugged. You can not fix it by using a previous save.
Myself i solved it by installung UE Tools and just command & console the two artifcacts to my inventory. Problem solved for me.

It is said the trigger distance for normal artifact to spawn/respawn on reload is 150m. I have not seen anything specific to this issue, which can happen also with Weird Water so to be safe your hard save should be at least 150m away from the anomaly. In order to be absolutely safe, I would use save before you entered Yaniv region. Again, this might not guarantee Weird Bolt spawns. It is just that once you get the bug, the bolt never spawns again.

so i found out its is indeed a proximity issue. you cant just save/reload on the crane. you need to be within a certain range of the tornado itself for at least 30 in game seconds to spawn the artifact. then pray you dont miss the catch.

i just got it to spawn but missed the cat so the save spawn needs to be outside trajectory, and then move in for a specific distance/time. then run up crape at spam F

if you havnt yet, try waiting in the hangar for the tornado to pass over and while you're in the eye of the tornado follow it while climbing and reaching the crane, that process spawned it for me.

seems like the game wants you to follow this specific path/method

This works! Gave you a small award for your services, stalker :)

You can literally get in the eye and follow it around. You take no damage and can then grab it. May take a few tries but it works.

i tried it about 20 times now,even loaded an ultra old save,it dont spawns .
Watches YT Videos and the Bolt isnt there

its a proximate thing you have to be near the tnado long enough for it to spawn

[Darkstar]

I found the solution i think. First make sure you get the PDA from the body of Stalker who fell from the tornado. Then make a run for the hanger with a lot of energy drinks, wait for the tornado to come, just when you see the edge of tornado pass, move inside it. Now try to remain inside as the tornado is moving slowly, you will have no issues. Do that parkour while remaining inside. The goal is to reach the top of crane while inside and then run to top. you will have the opportunity to grab it when you look to right side.
