List Of All Artifact Locations In Stalker 2
Each artifact comes with its own set of buffs and negatives once they are equipped with the armor. All the buffs are permanent that rule also applies well to the negatives as well. You will also need to be constantly switching from one artifact to another.
If one artifact grants you Chemical Protection, wearing it while facing off Electrical Anomalies will not make any sense. Here you need to swap the Chmeical Protection artifact with an artifact that provides Electrical Resistance. Below you are going to find almost all the artifacts discovered in Stalker 2.
Note: The artifacts can also disappear from the location, if that takes place, then you need to hunt for the artifact again at a different time.

How To Locate Artifacts In Stalker 2
We will locate the artifacts using Echo and Bear Detector.
- Finish the quest “Dangerous Visitors“. You will find the quest in the small buildings south of Zalissya Base. The mission has you taking out 5 bandits patrolling around the Boiler House north of your current location.
- Here you will also rescue a Stalker Gloomy, having a conversation with him will grant you an Echo Detector. He will also give you some info about Mama’s Bead artifact can be obtained from Fire Anamolies.
- Equip your Echo Detector near the anomalies, the beeping sound will soon begin when the artifact is near your location. It will make more beeping noise when you get closer to the artifact. Then you can grab it off the ground and add it to your inventory.
Note: There are also other introductory artifact detector missions in the game such as the quest “There and Back Again” which also sends you to artifact hunting.
Echo Detector is the first Artifact detector the game gives you part of the tutorial into the mechanisms Later you will have to buy a far more upgraded variation of the Echo Detector, titled Bear Detector for 6000K. You also have the option to purchase Echo Detector for around 2000K.
How To Use Artifacts In Stalker 2
Just add it to your equipment slot.
Open your Inventory you can use the benefits of each artifact by adding to the empty equipment slot. Once added, you can rip the bonus status effect of the artifact in-game. You also have the option to add more Artifacts by upgrading your current armor at Technician or getting a brand-new Armor for yourself.
You also have the option to sell it for the in-game currency. The artifact that offers more buffs will fetch a hefty amount in the market. If you do like the idea of receiving bonuses you can decide to keep it but if you want to drown in the coupons, then selling it might be more to your liking.
Note: There will be decision-making going on here, as upgrading an armor will have a hefty cost, so always consider the option to get a new set of armor.
