22 Supernatural anomalies are the paranormal events caused by Chaos in Nova City. They are the primary threats that the A.C.D. investigates and responds to. In gameplay, they appear to function as both story missions and open-world encounters.

66 Anomalies range from minor disturbances (legged toilets, objects behaving strangely) to city-wide catastrophes (the meteor disaster connected to Dila). The TGS 2025 demo showed anomalies including mechs climbing buildings and sudden gang confrontations triggered by Chaos.

1919 How Anomalies Appear
2020  
2121 Anomalies surface in two patterns: scripted story missions tied to character arcs, and dynamic open-world encounters that pop up as the player explores. The map UI in current footage uses red and blue indicators to mark anomalies; the colour split appears to distinguish active threats from investigation leads, though that distinction is not yet detailed in primary materials.

2525 The A.C.D. (Anti-Chaos Directorate) is the in-world body responsible for anomaly response. Each Agent contributes a different angle: hacking, courier work, surveillance, frontline combat. The Yeet Squad is the rapid-response sub-unit led by Taffy.
