Artifact Treasures Unveiled in Stalker 2: Acquisition Guide

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. This guide simplifies the process by categorizing artifacts by the type of anomalous zone where they can be found. Note that Stalker 2 features over 75 artifacts with varying rarities (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary/Mythical). While some are obtained through quests, most require targeted farming.
