Emission shelters in Prypiat

[Battlekruse]

I have a hard time to find some decent emission shelters in Prypiat.

What is the best to hide in Prypiat during emissions ?

Don't you get a yellow way point marker on your compass when an emission starts? I usually make a beeline for the way point. Sometimes it guides you to a building or even an overhang that shouldn't really suffice, as its full of holes or doesn't even cover you on all sides. My first play through before last two updates there were no emissions anywhere after getting to prypiat.

I had some emisions in Pripyat, it show you where to go with a compas and map icon.

Stupid thing is that wen your inside a building wich you expect to be fine its not, but a half open building or one with huge windows is fine...

Yes. I was sent to one in the military base, and it was literally the canopy on the side of a hanger. Completely uncovered apart from a small rectangle above my head. But it registered as the location giving shelter. It worked non the less.

The emission quest will point you to the closest (but not necessarily the easiest to get to, or even reachable at all ...) location.

Locations which are safe from emissions seem to be explicitly marked in the game assets, not calculated based on attributes. So as people have observed, some locations are safe even though they don't seem to provide much cover, and other locations are not safe even though they seem like they should be.

This means that unless you are pretty sure you KNOW a location which is safe, you should use the quest marker. A location your THINK might be safe, might not be - if you are close to a location you think is safe, and the quest marker doesn't update to that location, that location isn't safe. Because the game assets don't have it marked as safe, and it's the game assets that matter in protecting you from death by emission.

use the Bookstore or Culture of palace Base, they both work good for it
, just be sure to have energy drinks or endurance artifacts ready

i know exactly which one you are talking about thats a ward story mission location is why it worked, that canopy actually opens up during that mission, but a player can still get into it partially for emmisions

thats actually the exact spot my player is at right now on my current playthrough because doors are locked on the mission for it, waiting for a fix

I wasnt on a ward mission, just exploring for artifacts. The haven is literally between two half circle hangers, at 'army warehouses'

No worries pal. Looking back at my original post I see I wasn't very clear.

I reload a early save game and stayed near Energetyk Palace of Culture and just clear out some stash while waitning for the Emission to take place.

Thats seems to be the perfect solution.
