Stalker 2 Artifact Farming Guide: Finding Specific Artifacts in Anomalous Zones

In Stalker 2, acquiring artifacts with specific stat bonuses to enhance your playstyle often involves extensive farming. However, each artifact is tied to a specific elemental anomaly, meaning you won't find them all in the same location. This guide simplifies the process by listing artifacts and their corresponding anomalous zones.

All Artifacts and Their Locations in Stalker 2

Stalker 2 boasts over 75 artifacts with varying rarities (common to legendary/mythical). While some are obtained through quests, most require farming within specific anomalous zones. The following table details each artifact's location and effects:

To locate a specific artifact, identify its associated anomaly type and farm that zone. Consider using a better artifact detector (like Veles or Bear) to improve your chances. Saving before entering an anomaly zone allows for reloading if the desired artifact isn't found.
