Stalkers!
In the spring of mutants, sunshine also rejoices. Rats in the zone have bred in horrible quantities, it is time to reduce the population.
The 5th of March (Sunday) is declared as the day of the rat tail.

Kill any rats and collect their tails!
The only tails counted are those looted from mutants killed.
It is not necessary to keep the tail, simply kill the rat and loot their tail then you can do as you wish with them.
For every 50 tails collected you will receive a bunch of flowers which were recently bloomed among the anomalies.
It's a spring holiday, cheer up the girls!
(And maybe they'll rejoice)

The most terrifying rat hunter which loots the most tails will receive a special prize!
There will be 3 winners on servers: one on the RU server, and one ot the STEAM EU PVP, PVE and STEAM US.

1st Place: 30 Icons of Szone, 15 Syringes of Adrenaline
2nd Place: 20 Icons of Szone, 10 Syringes of Adrenaline
3rd Place: 15 Icons of Szone, 5 Syringes of Adrenaline

Have a good game!

Stalkers!
Recently there were many questions about purchase of Clan Weapon and Clan Armor.
We answer all of you at once.

Orders of CW and CA are accepted only from the Clan Leaders.
All purchase requests should be send to the Technical Support. In the title please specify "Clan Weapon purchase" or "Clan Armor purchase".
The cost of one CW or one CA:

The "Seven Years" set and armor or weapon of other Clans are exceptions.

For orders made after March 8, the appearance will be AK12 (for CW) and USOt5z (for CA).

Anomalies remember stalkers. Dying mutants tell the tales of their hunters to other monsters. The Zone itself keeps the images of all who visited Lubetch's streets... That's why it so interested in every new stalker. Unfamiliar names woven into the structure of anomalous fields, and each one adds a new touch to the mysterious melody of the Zone.
Anomalous Zone is proud to welcome all new arrivals!
Each new stalker which arrived in the Zone will receive gifts from the anomalies.

Each account created from 00:00 (msk) 9 of February to 23:59 (msk) 28 of February will be rewarded with:

Khurta (30 days)
Hammer Shotgun
Shotgun ammo
Old Stalker's Journal (14 days)

Stalkers!
Want to try the character in a different role?
Turn a big male into a fragile but still strong girl? Or make a beautiful woman into a powerful man?
From February 23 to March 8, we announce a discount on Pure Crystal of Monolith, the artifact with which you can change sex of your character.

Experiment, stalkers!
The Zone loves changes!

The work of the Post Office on holidays leaves much to be desired. The situation with the anomalous Post Office is even worse. Help deliver the old mail, and the Zone will thank you!
From 08:00 msk 23.02 till 23:59 msk 26.02 complete the "Russian Post" quest (you will find it in the Post Office opposite the Lubetch Station).
Those who complete the quest faster than anyone, will receive the reward:

1 place: 30 sZone pins, 15 Large Field Rations, 15 Box of Humanitarian Aid, Gift Socks and Gift Shaving Foam.
2 place: 20 sZone pins, 10 Large Field Rations, 10 Box of Humanitarian Aid, Gift Socks and Gift Shaving Foam.
3 place: 10 sZone pins, 5 Large Field Rations, 5 Box of Humanitarian Aid, Gift Socks and Gift Shaving Foam.

We'll define two trios of winners -- three on RU-server and three on all Steam-servers.
If a stalker complete the quest several times (you can repeat it every 12 hours), the best time will count.
Good luck in the postal service, stalkers!

For many years defenders of the fatherland receive the same fine gifts from their ladies: socks and shaving foam.
Whether it's a lack of imagination, whether it's a vague hint or something else... you can't escape it, even in the Anomalous Zone.
Because, as all of you should know, socks and shaving foam have long been symbols of February 23.
Keep in mind that some bearded man in the Zone would be very happy to receive these... but all in due time. Rumor has it that some people are getting ready to barter socks and foam on unique items...
On February 23 (begin at 8:00 msk) and February 24 (throughout the day until 23;59 msk) "Gift Socks" and "Gift Shaving Foam" can be looted from mutants.

Don't miss this valuable loot!
