Stalker 2: A Comprehensive Guide to Artifact Farming Locations
In Stalker 2, acquiring specific artifacts with desirable stat bonuses is crucial for optimizing your gameplay. However, each artifact is tied to a particular elemental anomaly, meaning you won't find them all in the same location. This guide simplifies the process by detailing artifact types and their corresponding anomalous zone farming locations.
All Artifacts and Their Locations in Stalker 2
Stalker 2 features over 75 artifacts, categorized by rarity (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary/Mythical). While some are obtained through quests, most require farming specific anomalous zones.
The following table lists all artifacts, their effects, and locations. Note that this is not an exhaustive list of every single variation within each rarity, but rather a representative sample to illustrate the principles of artifact farming.
| Artifact Rarity | Artifact Name | Effect | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legendary | Hypercube | Max Thermal, Radiation, & Bleeding Resistance | Thermal Anomalies |
| Compass | Max Radiation & Physical Protection | Gravitational Anomalies | |
| Liquid Rock | Max Radio & Chemical Protection | Acid Anomalies | |
| Thunderberry | Max Radiation & Endurance | Electro Anomalies | |
| Weird Ball | Reduced bullet damage (especially while stationary) | Bulba Anomaly (near Zalissya) | |
| Weird Bolt | Reduced anomaly damage (when charged) | Tornado anomaly (Yaniv) | |
| Weird Flower | Masks player scent, decreasing detection rate | Poppy Field (North of Zalissya) | |
| Weird Nut | Heals bleeding over time | Fire Whirl Anomaly (Cooling Towers Region) | |
| Weird Pot | Significantly reduces hunger | Mist Anomaly (Burnt Forest Region) | |
| Weird Water | Increases weight carry capacity (~40KGs) | Wandering Lights Anomaly (Zaton region) | |
| Common | Bubble | Medium Radio Protection | Acid Anomalies |
| Battery | Weak Radiation & Endurance | Electro Anomalies | |
| Cavity | Weak Radiation, Bleeding Resistance, & Weight Effect | Thermal Anomalies | |
| (Many more Common artifacts with similar weak stat boosts across different anomaly types) | |||
| Uncommon | Broken Rock | Strong Radiation & Medium Physical Protection | Gravitational Anomalies |
| (Many more Uncommon artifacts with moderate stat boosts across different anomaly types) | |||
| Rare | Crest | Strong Radiation & Endurance | Electro Anomalies |
| (Many more Rare artifacts with strong stat boosts across different anomaly types) |
This table provides a framework. To find a specific artifact, identify its associated anomaly type and farm that zone. Consider saving before entering an anomaly zone; if the artifact isn't what you seek, reload your save. Using advanced artifact detectors (like Veles or Bear) significantly increases your chances of finding artifacts within their respective zones.
