Stalker 2: A Comprehensive Guide to Artifact Farming and Locations
Finding specific artifacts with desirable stat bonuses in Stalker 2 often involves extensive farming in anomalous zones. Each artifact is linked to a particular elemental anomaly, making targeted farming crucial. This guide simplifies the process by categorizing artifacts by their associated anomaly type.
Stalker 2 boasts over 75 artifacts, categorized by rarity (Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Legendary/Mythical). While some are obtainable through quests, most require focused farming.
