This guide details the four artifact detectors in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, crucial for acquiring stat-boosting artifacts. Each detector offers varying levels of precision in locating artifacts within anomalous zones.
Echo Detector: The Basic Finder
The Echo Detector is your starting artifact detector. This small, yellow device uses a central light tube that pulses, indicating proximity to an artifact. The faster the pulse and beeping, the closer you are. While functional, pinpointing the artifact's exact location can be time-consuming.
Bear Detector: An Enhanced Experience
Acquired either during the "A Sign of Hope" side mission or from a vendor, the Bear Detector improves upon the Echo Detector. It features concentric rings around its display; the more rings illuminated, the closer you are to the artifact. Full illumination signifies you've reached the artifact's spawn point.
Hilka Detector: Precision Targeting
Obtained during the "Mysterious Case" side mission from Sultan, the Hilka Detector provides a more precise approach. It uses numerical readings to indicate distance to the artifact; decreasing numbers mean you're getting closer.
Veles Detector: The Ultimate Artifact Hunter
The Veles Detector, earned by completing the "In Search of Past Glory" main mission, is the most advanced detector. Its radar display pinpoints the artifact's location within the anomalous field and also highlights nearby hazardous anomalies, enhancing safety during artifact retrieval.
