Stalker 2: A Comprehensive Guide to Artifact Farming Locations

In Stalker 2, acquiring specific artifacts with desirable stat bonuses is crucial for optimizing your playstyle. However, each artifact is tied to a particular elemental anomaly, meaning you won't find them all in the same location. This guide simplifies the process by detailing the anomalous zones where you can farm specific artifacts.

All Artifacts and Their Locations in Stalker 2

Stalker 2 boasts over 75 artifacts with varying rarities (common to legendary/mythical). While some are obtainable through quests, most require farming specific anomalous zones. The following table lists all artifacts and their locations:

This table provides a complete list of artifacts in Stalker 2. Remember to identify the anomaly type associated with your target artifact and focus your farming efforts in that specific zone. Consider using a better artifact detector (like Veles or Bear) to improve your chances. Saving before entering an anomaly zone allows you to reload if you don't find the desired artifact.
