How do Electrical Anomalies behave in Metro Exodus? - Interior of old box office with golden details under schedule in Grand Central Terminal

Electrical Anomalies are an unusual danger in the Metro series and with the open world of Metro Exodus they make a reappearance as one of Russia's many threats.

What I know so far is that they're a form of ball lighting* and deal immense damage to Artyom.

What I've learned but I am not completely sure about is:

  • Bullets and grenades do not seem to harm the anomalies

  • Aim assist will still lock onto the lightning

  • They are more prevalent at night

  • They are more prevalent in areas with large amounts of metal such as the train yard in the VOLGA level

  • They move slower than Artyom, but seem to constantly float towards him

  • They will not pursue away from areas with high concentrations or metal

  • They do not deal radiation damage

My specific questions are:

Are electrical anomalies an enemy or environmental hazard?

Is there any way to damage them or slow them down?

Are there any way to deal with them other than going around them?

Are they exhibit any other behaviors other than those listed above?

Should I shoot the villager Metro Exodus?

Do not kill any of the villagers you may come across in the level. You may kill as many bandits as you'd like, but do not kill any that end up surrendering to you. Free as many prisoners as you can who are being held in bandit camps.
