The precipice is the primary zone of anomalous activity encountered. There are several deadly anomalies here that aren't afraid to kill anyone wandering in, but there are also several artifacts that could be immensely powerful or useful to reseach.

Artifacts

Artifacts have been left behind, it may take humans years to understand what the real intended purposes of these objects are even if they find ways to utilise them. Expect unpredictable interactions as you misuse and research these phenomenon.

Anomaly Type Rarity Actions / Behaviours Avoiding
Black Grass Ground Common A dark grass-like anomaly that coats the ground of certain areas, indicating the presence of anomalies. It is completely safe.
Gravity Well Trap Common A powerful and invisible gravity well that violently takes a hold of anything that enters its effective range. Objects thrown near it will be forcefully pushed through the ground. Players who enter its range will get pulled to the ground and may have some limbs torn if they are lucky, and if they aren't then you won't be seeing them again. They emit a strange noise periodically and have an indicitive message in the chat, when you see this make sure to take it slow and throw objects ahead of you to see if they are pulled through the ground.
Grey Goo Trap Common A goo-like substance which can be found throughout the anomalous zone. Stepping in it causes extreme limb damage and hallucinations. Don't step in it.
Flesh Eater Virus Rare A potent anomolous disease which spreads via direct infection with blood. It slowly takes over the victim's body, turning them into a fleshbeast. Curing it is exceptionally difficult and the conversion is very slow and painful. With a proper blood sample, a vaccine can be made as well as a syrum that halts progression of the disease, but it can never be fully cured. Proper protective equipment such as hazard suits can mitigate the effects of the disease.
Flesh Beast Mob Uncommon An anomalous humanoid entity made from a hardened flesh-like substance. It is hostile but has poor vision and will only attack people making noise near it, or who get extremely close. They are very strong, but are killable. Remain quiet, avoid it, or fight it.
Mirror Stalker Mob Rare An entity that mimics the appearance of someone nearby, attacking you on sight. It is only visible to the victim. Only appears when the user is near reflective surfaces, the reflection of the victim will remain static and won't move for some time indicating an imminent attack.
Spinning Bracelet Item Rare A bracelet that can be picked up, it features two rotating disks which spin eternally. When equipped, the user will periodically deflect any incoming projectiles. Any fired projectiles will bounce around inside the bracelet's shield, severely damaging the wearer. The bracelet is safe and can be picked up freely.
Anomaly Cell Item Uncommon A seemingly infinite power-cell that can be used to power a large number of devices, including vehicles. Safe.
Death Rod Item Legend An item that emits waves which are fatal to human life. Has a very slow and very loud charge up time when used. Clears gravity wells. Avoid the wielder.
Blacklight Environmental Uncommon A fluctuating field of intense black energy that obscures vision and slowly damages those caught in the radius. Avoid entering the blacklight; if caught, move quickly through it.
