This is a damn' fine tool. We've been pestering those Clear Sky scientist (A Faction of Independet Scientist studying the Zone's Mysteries) for an upgrade version of an anomaly detector that shows the intensity of the event-horizon field around the Anomaly, the level of Lethal Exotic Energy, perhaps even the type of Artifact that lies at the heart of the anomaly, but so far... nada.

it measures distance from entrance of rift, and how long they've been inside. they're exposed to the rift's exotic particles and long exposure is not good. the FL is the flux level indicator... kinda a lifetime record of how long these ppl have gone "dumpster" diving. This lady is FRESH.

Looks perfect! Seems it has in that PDA a function of Anomaly-Detector. My Stalkers, as in the games, use hand-held devices: Echo, Bear, Veles, Svarog in order of quality. I have show them in some images. This is, of course more handy

wait till u see the device that blows up the anomaly into a rift...

....all right, but we STILL want those Artifacts! It's good money, bro!!
