Aren't anomalies the dangerous things that activate that annoying warning beep when one is too close? :erm:

But I think I have that artifact too, I have no idea what exactly causes that sort of damage either.

I meant "artifact." I keep switching the terms.

And I'm still hunting for that spas 12 :/

That artifact is pretty much completely useless since the only thing that does chemical burn damage is the green acid pool anomalies which are easy enough to avoid anyway. The only good thing is that it's worth 5000.

Theres also a unique SPAS 12 that I found when looking through the weapon files, no idea where it is though, assuming its in the game.

I usually reload a savegame if I get damaged in an anomaly anyways, unless the last savegame is far back.

EDIT

@BR796164: I don't know if it is the pump shotgun you are after, but killing Chef in the Freedom base (the guy you need to get drunk to make him reveal the location of the grenade launcher) has a pump shotgun. I killed him with the knife and it caught no attention so it's safe.

The regular SPAS is found in the hands of lithites in pripyat. Search their headquarters - at least two of the guys worshipping the trash idol have them.

Never seen a unique SPAS, just the unique chaser.

Red Forest Walkway door code is rumored to be 1287975 but i couldnt figure out how to get up there :p

I got in. It's just a small little room with 3 medkits inside. I guess you're supposed to find the code on a body somewhere (or maybe I'm misssing something)?

I don't know if I killed the Chef when I was making raid on the Freedom base for Duty. I had hard time to get rig of all the snipers and kill their leader. He's got another tough heavily armored guy as a bodyguard who uses some shotgun too, but I was in such bad shape and running low on ammo that when I finally killed the leader I was happy I could get alive out of there with my skin on, Freedom reinforcements were constantly arriving to make an example out of me and I didn't even bother to loot the corpses much.

I grabbed the VSS Vintorez (Vintar) rifle from the long empty house next to the bridge and sniped those reinforcements easily. Unfortunately Freedom stalkers respawn rapidly so I didn't have much time to loot the base :erg:. I guess I'll go neutral next time :p.

I FINALLY got the spsa shotgun, but now I'm about to head off to get the decoder. I might do a few more missions for the factions just so I can have an excuse to use it :p

I actually got 2 of the spsa's off of zombies. One was kind of near the fence, as stated before. Another was on a zombie that spawned near the exit to military warehouses.

And, after all that time, I still might prefer the Chaser. The damage is definately better with the spsa, but the combat chaser does more than the spsa. It's also a bit more acurate (would make a little difference when using dart/slug rounds).

The spsa does have a larger shell capacity, but I'm debating on weather or not it's worth it. Especieally since the spsa is heavier than the chaser.

Where I can find the decoder ?

Also anybody knows if there is a side quest assigned to that insane Freedom stalker in Warehouses? I killed him, took his flash drive but so far I don't know what to do with it.
