There's this place they call Scar, where the ground looks like it has been hacked with an axe. People have found artifacts there, but once you go in there something weird starts to happen. That thing hits your brains so hard you almost forget how to breathe, let alone try to get your ass out of there.
― Loners' description
The Scar anomaly is a location in Zaton in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
Overview[]
The Scar anomaly is an aptly named location in Zaton which takes the appearance of a large cut, several hundreds of meters long, in the bank of the dried up river. Inside the cut itself is an intense psi field. The Scar itself is a slope, at the top of which is a pair of Electro anomalies which are known to spawn electric-type artifacts. The anomaly is easily visible from most of Zaton, due to the psi field causing distortion of the sky behind it.
The intense psi field makes the use of Psy-block highly recommended if the player doesn't have the adequate armor to withstand exposure to the psi field. To minimize the damage, it is best to start looking for artifacts at the top of the slope, near the Electro anomalies, where the artifacts usually spawn.
At the base of the Scar is a small campfire where stalkers may occasionally be found.
