Developer EXBO has activated an Anomalous outburst event in STALCRAFT: X that raises the appearance rate of frost-type artefacts during storms. The event runs from December 27, 05:00 to December 29, 05:00 server time and increases frost artefact spawns by 50% at all locations while storms are active. The in-game Event Hub will list live status and any region-specific notes.
That boost makes these two days a clear window for farming and market activity, especially for players hunting frost artefacts or Protoartefacts that show up after eruptions. Expect more traffic in high-yield zones; tighter fights and contested extraction points are likely when artefact density climbs.
For context on how EXBO has handled similar surges, see earlier coverage of anomalous spawn increases here. Check the Event Hub in-game before heading out to confirm storm schedules and exact territory effects.
X and Bluesky have live reaction threads, and the team posts highlights on YouTube and Instagram.
