Stalker 2 Artifacts: Guide to Acquisition

In Stalker 2, artifact hunting is a common pursuit, with players seeking specific artifacts to enhance their gameplay. However, finding these artifacts requires understanding their elemental anomaly ties. This guide simplifies the process by listing artifacts and their corresponding anomalous zones.

All Artifacts & Their Farming Locations in Stalker 2

Stalker 2 boasts over 75 artifacts, categorized by rarity (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary/Mythical). While some are acquired through missions, many require farming specific anomalous zones. The following table details each artifact:
