Master S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl's dangerous territories. Learn about artifact effects, anomaly types, and survival strategies to conquer the Zone.
Walkthrough
- 1Understanding Artifacts: Artifacts are items found in anomalies that provide players with positive or negative side effects. They are crucial for survival and enhancing player capabilities within the Zone.
- 2Types of Anomalies and Artifacts: Artifacts are categorized by the type of anomaly they are found in (e.g., electro, gravitational, acid, thermal). Each artifact has unique properties and effects.
- 3Artifact Effects: Artifacts can influence various player stats such as Endurance, Radiation resistance, Physical Protection, Chemical Protection, and more. Some offer strong benefits, while others have significant drawbacks.
- 4Specific Artifact Examples:
- Battery: Found in electro anomalies, provides Weak Endurance and Weak Radiation effects.
- 5Broken Rock: Found in gravitational anomalies, offers Medium Physical Protection and Strong Radiation effects.
- 6Bubble: Found in acid anomalies, provides Medium Radio Protection.
- 7Cavity: Found in thermal anomalies, offers Weak Bleeding Resistance, Weak Weight Effect, and Weak Radiation.
- 8Chocolate Bar: Found in electro anomalies, provides Weak Electrical Protection and Weak Radiation.
- 9Ciliate: Found in chemical anomalies, offers Medium Chemical Protection and Medium Radiation.
- 10Compass: A legendary artifact found in gravitational anomalies, offering Maximum Physical Protection and Maximum Radiation.
- 11Crest: Found in electro anomalies, provides Strong Endurance and Strong Radiation.
- 12Crown: Found in gravitational anomalies, offers Weak Endurance, Weak Physical Protection, and Medium Radiation.

- 18Droplets: Found in thermal anomalies, offers Weak Thermal Protection and Weak Radiation.
- 19Eye: Found in thermal anomalies, offers Weak Thermal Protection and Weak Radiation.
- 20Fireball: Found in electro anomalies.
- 21Acquiring Artifacts: Artifacts are typically found within anomalies. Players must carefully navigate these dangerous areas to retrieve them.
- 22Using Artifacts: Artifacts can be equipped to gain their benefits, but players must weigh the positive effects against any negative side effects.
Tips
- Always be aware of the anomaly type before attempting to retrieve an artifact.
- Carefully examine the effects of each artifact, both positive and negative, before equipping it.
- Consider combining multiple artifacts to create synergistic builds that maximize benefits while minimizing drawbacks.
- Some artifacts, like the Compass, are considered legendary and offer significant advantages.
