This fight with the anomalies does use up a lot of ammunition. Thus, having munition boxes and light machine guns can be handy. Here is how you can defeat the anomaly in The Haunting event:

  • Deal damage to the anomaly while using the environment for protection and by shooting at it from a distance.
  • Seek cover in structures, such as watchhouses in the area, to shield yourself from the anomaly's devastating laser.
  • Continuously fire at the anomaly while taking advantage of the cover to minimize damage taken.
  • Once destroyed, the anomaly will split into three smaller ones that actively follow and shoot at you.
  • Focus your fire on one anomaly at a time while staying mobile.
  • After destroying all three small anomalies, the main boss will appear, releasing a laser beam that will harm you if you get too close.
  • The main boss, like the anomalies, must be destroyed by shooting at it.
