In Stalker 2, artifact hunting is a key activity, with each artifact offering unique stat bonuses tailored to different playstyles. However, finding specific artifacts requires knowing their associated anomaly type. This guide simplifies the process by listing artifacts and their corresponding anomalous zones.
Stalker 2 boasts over 75 artifacts, categorized by rarity (common to legendary/mythical). While some are obtained through quests, most require farming specific anomalous zones.
