They maintain that the Lost Zones, for all its dangers, represents a potential wellspring of beneficial breakthroughs, and they strive to study its phenomena without the constraints of government or dogma. This live-and-let-live philosophy makes them popular among those who feel oppressed or restricted by the more fascist factions.

50. #50Gravity anomaliesselective

    Keys: springboard, whirligig, gravity anomaly

Gravity artifacts might increase a stalker's carrying capacity, allowing them to haul more loot or equipment without being encumbered.
