Ball Lightning

Anomaly

Soars above the ground at a low altitude and moves around the location. When it comes into contact with a distorted, a flowerman, a car (any material moving object), or operatives it explodes, causing physical destruction and adding impulse.

Notes

Description

Ball Lightning anomalies are wandering balls of light that roam the many maps on Dalniy island. they can be found in most maps and can be encountered in their own ? signal. The ball detonates when the player is too close to it, and it will explode, throwing the player back while stunning them, similar to the gravity anomaly. Balls are able to be shot in order to explode, but it takes a good amount of bullets to "pop" them so a shotgun is recommended.

Appearance

the Ball is fairly self explanatory, its a wandering ball of lightning that goes around the map, illuminating the area around it. There's nothing close to it so its very easy identify them and where they are. They do emit a crackling sound when nearby, so their location can also be determined through audio.

Tips & Tricks

Best advise is to overall stay away from them if you can. They don't pose any major threat to the player as they don't actually deal damage, but simply knock you down. They do drop either 10, 20, or 30 active matter, so they can be a good source of active matter if you need it. Best way to get it is to blast them with a shotgun 1-2 times, which will "pop" them and drop the active matter.

Drops

the lightning ball does not drop an artifact for you to collect. Instead it drops active matter globs of 10, with there being a chance at 1, 2, or 3 globs spawning. The maximum chance for active matter in a lightning ball is 30 but its rare than you think.
