Cool heat!
Stalkers!
Scientists from the meteorological station are broadcasting: the abnormal heat characteristic of summer in the Zone is approaching, from which both animals and mutants are rushing to escape! And the most seasoned stalkers are beginning to guess that after the scorching sun, another weather anomaly will make itself known...
Stalker settlements begin to fill with rumors, as snowfalls are noticed here and there, signaling the appearance of striking anomalies. With a frosty grip, they mercilessly encase the fields, forest edges and swamps in the ice around them. And at the core of this cold-bearing phenomenon, a bright, bluish glow attracts and at the same time repels... Is it really an artifact?!
The smartest stalkers have already tried their luck to extract the source of radiance from the anomaly in the usual way, but this time the faithful MZA were unable to help. However, there is a solution! Consultant Pavlov, who is located in the Liubech’s Outlands (I3-2), is ready to share his knowledge!
From 23.07 to 21.08, the “Cool Heat” event starts on all project servers! Important: the event starts automatically at 00:00 server time. You can find out the time of your specific server by entering the /time command into the chat
New anomalies have settled everywhere, from which parts of a mysterious artifact can be obtained. The extraction device can be obtained from Consultant Pavlov in the Shleimovich camp. You can also get valuable rewards from him for frosty finds! Among them you can also find a unique raincoat, which can only be obtained as part of this event.
In addition, in the in-game store you will also find pleasant discounts on a wide range of products.
We wish you good luck in your search!
Sincerely, SO Team
