These are all the artifacts you can find in ***Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl***. When hunting for a specific artifact, make sure to identify which anomaly it is associated with and focus your farming efforts there. A smart strategy is to **create a quick save before entering an anomaly zone**, locate the artifact, and if it's not what you're after, simply reload your save and try again.
To maximize your chances of finding artifacts, equip yourself with a high-quality artifact detector like the Veles or Bear. These tools will help you spawn artifacts more effectively within their respective zones.
