Rift Anomalies are red cosmic tears scattered throughout the Arcadia system. These can only be opened using an Anomaly Rift Modulator, which can reveal hidden paths or uncover valuable loot.
To get the Anomaly Rift Modulator, you need to complete the main quest, An Instrument to Unfold Space & Time.

Jump into a rift (and die). |
Jumping into or getting too close to a Rift Anomaly will instantly kill you. Doing so on the first time will unlock the A Stiff In The Rift achievement. There’s no in-game warning, but your Companions may caution you as you approach a rift.
