AppearanceEdit

The first type of Fault appears to be a Burner anomaly field, but features large cracks on the surface of the Earth. Ambient temperatures are extremely high, especially within the cracks. The second kind has a similar apperance, but this one features gravity-based anomalies as well. Fault anomalies did not appear in Shadow of Chernobyl, they first appear in Clear Sky.

Clear SkyEdit

A fault anomaly makes its first apperance in the Swamps, where it is located northeast of the Machine yard. It appears as cracks in the ground, and the player's screen will turn bright red when he/she gets too close. Stepping over one of the cracks will kill the player instantly, so caution is advised. One of the second type can be found in Dark Valley.

Call of PripyatEdit

Two Faults appear in Zaton. The first is known as the Boiler anomaly. The Boiler features temperatures that are nearly as high as Burner fields, but instead of shooting up fire when activated, it shoots up steam of extreme temperatures. Effects are similar to Burner anomalies. The cracks are much deeper than a normal Fault, and their bases contain boiling water. The second is known as the Circus Anomaly, which features a normal Fault with the same artifacts as Boiler, but includes a Fire Poltergeist, and two moving fire anomalies going circles in opposite directions around the Fault. The third one is located in Yanov and called Bitumen Anomaly, belonging to the second type. Is is by far the biggest one with walkable cracks. The last Fault is located in Pripyat, known as Volcano. It essentially is a large cluster of Burner anomalies in a crater in the middle of a basketball court. It is the only one without the ambient heat.

ArtifactsEdit

Since Faults of Type 1 consist of Burner anomalies (Boiler anomaly also, however mixed with water giving steam), you'll find artifacts made by Burner anomalies in any Fault. Therefore, any of the following artifacts can spawn in a Fault.

The Fault of Type 2 has got two forms of anomalies, so you may find one of the following from the associated gravitational or thermal parent anomaly.
