Anomalies in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl are energy phenomena you can see all around the Zone. They are very hazardous and can kill both you, other stalkers, and even creatures.

There are various types of anomalies (electrical, fire, chemical, etc), and you should be very cautious while near them. Your bolt will help you spot, activate/deactivate, and navigate through them.

Also, inside anomalies, you can find artifacts.

Artifacts can improve different player stats, but sometimes it will come at a cost. Or you can just sell them for a great price.
Will there be new factions and characters? Will the old ones remain?

You’ll see both familiar and new faces. The same applies to the factions of the Zone. Don’t forget that the situation in the Zone is never stable, and it is really hard to predict who’s managed to survive and those who didn’t make it.
What is A-Life?

Often, the game world exists only in the player's field of view. A-Life 2.0 is a simulation system for life in the Zone. Factions and mutants are fighting for living space, migrating, capturing new places, or retreating to safer areas.

A-Life is what makes Zone truly alive and unpredictable.

As before, the events of the game will take place on the territory of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. There will be 20 regions, each with its own unique biom. Cordon, Duga, Prypiat, and hundreds of other familiar and new locations will be open up for exploration.
Will locations look the same way they looked in the original trilogy?

A lot of time has passed since you were last in the Zone. Some places have changed beyond recognition, while others remain untouched. All the more reason for you to explore them yourself.
Will the small environment respond to the player's actions? What about object destructibility?

Large objects, such as buildings, large walls, etc. will not be destroyed. At the same time, most of the small barriers and objects of the environment can be destroyed and shot through, with powerful enough weapons.
Can Skif swim?

All lakes, ponds, and other water resources are too radioactive to swim because of the radioactive sludge. You can try to cross some swamps or small lakes if they are not deep enough, but be aware of the high radiation danger.
Will we be able to travel far distances fast way?

While the Zone is too dangerous and unstable for using any kind of transport, some people have mastered shortcut travelings even through the most dangerous areas. Stalkers call them Guides, and they will be happy to get you to some places, but not for free.
How many weapons are in the game, and how can we modify them?

There are more than 30 types of firearms in the game, each one with its own set of modifications. The main character will be able to install some of them while in combat, while the more complex and advanced upgrades will be available only through the technician.
Does the game have a day and night cycle, as well as dynamic weather changes?

Yes. The Zone is a real place, so you'll be able to have a stroll day and night, with different weather conditions.
Is it possible to turn off the HUD or its parts for better immersion?

This is something you can do in “Settings”. You can turn it off completely, or switch off different parts of the HUD separately, such as Threat Indicator, Hit Indicator, Compass, Ammo Counter, and more.

Also, you won't see what you don't need: the health bar will be visible only when your health is not 100% full, or you are getting damaged at the moment. You will see a bullet count when you are reloading and shooting.
The description of the pre-order mentions weapons and clothing skins. So should we wait for pink camouflage and overhead wings stuff?

There will be the ability to change gear's appearance, but only within the game world laws and logic. Pink camouflage will not merge with the bleak landscape of the Zone, and overhead wings will peek over the shelters. Of course, skins will not have any advantages or gameplay impact.
