S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 - Heart of Chornobyl #567: Weird Flower Test
It was evening in Rostok, and with a few hours of daylight left, I went north to Buryakivka, where I met a Freedom patrol, and looked around at a burner anomaly field. I returned to the north gate of the Freedom base, and after digging the Weird Flower out of my personal stash chest, I put it on my belt for a nap. I wanted to see just how long it would last. The last time I had used it months ago; it was only good for a couple of hours. It wasn't really worth using with such a short duration.
After waking up, I left Rostok through the time warp anomaly and found myself in southern Garbage. Some Loners just blew up some Bandits, and I scored a gun. I followed the Loners north but decided to divert to the Flea Market and haul some more used weapons back to Rostok. The whole time I kept checking my belt, to see the Weird Flower was still bright blue and potent. It was already lasting twice as long as before.
Game Note: I had read the Weird Flower artifact has been improved, to last more than a couple of hours, as it did before. You have to equip it on your belt and sleep with it, so I'm going to test just how many hours longer it is supposed to last.
