Blowouts can cause new artifacts to be spawned in the anomaly fields. Artifacts are found in or around anomalies. Players have to use special detectors to bring artifacts into the visible spectrum, as they are naturally invisible. Every time an Emission occurs, each anomaly field has a chance of creating a new artifact within its wake.
The player character is Yevhen Martynenko "Skif", a veteran of the Ukrainian Marine Corps who has returned from a 3-year deployment in an unspecified conflict. In the opening, he awakens to find his apartment has been destroyed by an anomaly that has mysteriously appeared outside of the Zone, leaving an unknown artifact in its wake.
