Approaching the Brain Scorcher
The Brain Scorcher is a massive psi field emitter based around the Arc-1 over the horizon radar. Aside from its self-descriptive influence, the area around it is also held by Monolithians, who for some reason can ignore the psi field.
I mean come on, there was a Monolithian with an SVD sitting on one of those antennae.

This looks rly nice, all these screenshots have "dark" atmosphere and sense of danger

Actually, the Radar even applies a special FX for that precise purpose, which is why this screenshot is so grainy. Here also sometimes appear phantom images of mutants that charge and attack the player character... they deal no damage, but still creepy. It goes away after Brain Scorcher is disabled, but it remains a rather gloomy place.

Also the brownish-grey tinting and grain makes spotting Monolithians (who wear gray camo) noticeably harder. Especially worse on the first playthrough when one doesn't know all sniper nests.
