You are periodically afflicted by the Anomaly's flux bombs. Flux bombs apply to both allies and enemies. Enemies standing in flux bombs are periodically afflicted with random conditions.

— In-game description

Mechanics[edit]

  • Every 30 seconds, causes a random player in combat to be marked with a Flux Bomb. After a 5 seconds delay, Flux Bombs leave a field that applies direct damage, Vulnerability.png Vulnerability, Blinded.png Blinded, Torment.png Torment, and Agony.png Agony.
  • The field has a radius of 120 and lasts for 5 seconds.
  • The direct damage against players is equal to 10% of their maximum health and may be negated with blocking or an invulnerability.
  • The Flux Bombs fired are functionally the same as those used by the Chaos Anomaly. However, Flux Bombs caused by the Instability leave much shorter-duration fields.
