The subject of this article appears in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

Personally I've only come across a Comet and a Tesla. The former is a fireball about three feet in diameter. But I assure you, you'll feel the heat from a much greater distance... The latter is, for lack of a better description, a ball of lightning. It's definitely a ball and it's definitely electrical in nature. Both anomalies always keep moving, but usually in closed-loop paths. A careful stalker should be able to easily go around them... Just don't lose your focus.
Pilot's description

The Tesla is a rare type of anomaly featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

General characteristics[]

The Tesla anomaly functions much like an Electro anomaly and deals electric damage, with the difference is that the Tesla is mobile. In that sense, it's the Electro's equivalent of the Comet. It takes the appearance of a fast-moving ball of pure electricity. It can be said the Tesla is the evolved or greater form of an Electro.

Unless one is equipped with a few electricity-absorbing artifacts and/or wearing a suit with high electrical protection, simply being scraped by this anomaly reduces the player's health to 10% and outright kills them if they get struck directly by it.

This anomaly does not spawn any kind of artifact.

Call of Pripyat[]

Known locations[]

Thankfully, teslas are quite rare: only three of them appear overall in the entire game.

Two are present in Yanov, one inside the train car where the Tools for basic work can be found and the other one inside the tunnel where the Intermittent psy-emissions side-mission takes place.

The last one is inside Lab X-8, and only spawns once the player opens the door leading to the room containing A notebook with a description of an experiment.

Trivia[]

  • The Anomalies from the video game Metro 2033 and its sequels look and behave in a vaguely similar way to the Tesla.
