List of All Artifacts

All Artifacts in STALKER 2

Artifact	Description	Effects
Battery	A common artifact found in electro anomalies. The high-frequency alternating current glowing within the Battery does not cause burns upon contact.	Radiation: Weak Endurance: Weak
Bubble	A common artifact found in acid anomalies. The Bubble's transparent membrance conceals a substance that resembles the contents of the Fruit Punch anomaly.	Radio Protection: Medium
Crown	An uncommon artifact found in gravitational anomalies. Due to its resemblance to a piece of jewelry, the Crown fetches a premium price on the Mainland's black markets.	Radiation: Medium Endurance: Weak Physical Protection: Weak
Crystal	A common artifact found in thermal anomalies. What seems to be the coloring of the artifact is, in fact, flames burning inside the crystal.	Thermal Protection: Weak Radiation: Weak
Crystal Thorn	An artifact that came out of Professor Dvupalov's moonshine still.	Radio Protection: Weak
Droplets	A common artifact found in thermal anomalies. When subjected to a temperature of absolute zero, the surface of the Droplets coalesces into an opaque black film. It dissolves as the temperature increases.	Thermal Protection: Weak Radiation: Weak
Flaw	An uncommon artifact found in thermal anomalies. Despite its red-hot appearance, it feels barely warm to the touch, a phenomenon attributed to low thermal conductivity.	Radiation: Medium Bleeding Resistance: Weak Weight Effect: Weak
Harp	An uncommon artifact found in electro anomalies. Among stalkers, there's a belief that if you stare into the crystals of this artifact, you hear mysterious music playing.	Radiation: Medium Bleeding Resistance: Weak Electrical Protection: Weak
Hypercube	A legendary artifact found in thermal anomalies. The full potential of this artifact has yet to be discovered. It emits ultra-long radio waves and has potential applications in space navigation.	Thermal Protection: Maximum Radiation: Maximum Bleeding Resistance: Maximum
Lantern	An uncommon artifact found in electro anomalies. Even those who have completely lost their sight can perceive the light and outline of the artifact when looking in its direction.	Radiation: Medium Electrical Protection: Medium
Magic Cube	A rare artifact found in gravitational anomalies. When exposed to the infrared spectrum, it becomes transparent.	Radiation: Maximum Physical Protection: Strong
Magma	An uncommon artifact found in thermal anomalies. The stone flecks within the artifact seem to possess a gravitational field of their own.	Thermal Protection: Weak Radiation: Medium Weight Effect: Weak
Mica	A common artifact found in acid anomalies. When exposed to ultraviolet or infrared light, the Mica loses its transparency, becoming pitch black.	Radio Protection: Weak
Mold	A common artifact found in acid anomalies. Facilitates the rapid growth of fungi and microbes. Storing it alongside foodstuffs, including canned goods, is not advised.	Radiation: Weak Chemical Protection: Weak
Moonlight	An uncommon artifact found in electro anomalies. A single contact with this artifact may inspire certain individuals with a manic desire to possess it. As of now, the underlying causes are yet to be determined.	Radiation: Medium Electrical Protection: Medium
Plasma	An uncommon artifact found in thermal anomalies. Defense contractors actively hunt for Plasma artifacts on the Mainland's black markets.	Thermal Protection: Medium Radiation: Medium
Rat King	A common artifact found in electro anomalies. Every wire within the tangle generates an electromagnetic field, causing the Rat King to continuously move.	Radiation: Weak Bleeding Resistance: Weak Electrical Protection: Weak
Sapphire	A common artifact found in electro anomalies. According to stalker folklore, smuggling a Sapphire in someone else's gear will pass on the troubles of the previous owner to the new one.	Radiation: Weak Bleeding Resistance: Weak Endurance: Weak
Shell	A common artifact found in electro anomalies. Caution: risk of injury even under controlled laboratory conditions. Avoid inserting fingers between the disks!	Radiation: Weak Endurance: Weak
Slug	A common artifact found in acid anomalies. When hit by a heavy object or dropped onto a hard surface, the Slug quickly hardens for 0.1 seconds.	Radio Protection: Weak
Soul	An uncommon artifact found in electro anomalies. Despite its apparent fragility, the artifact remains impervious to destruction via mechanical, thermal, or chemical means.	Radiation: Medium Endurance: Medium
Spinner	A common artifact found in thermal anomalies. The color of the sparks from the artifact transitions to a pale green when taken outside the Zone.	Radiation: Weak Bleeding Resistance: Weak
Stone Blood	A common artifact found in gravitational anomalies. The reddish-brown veins on the Stone Blood's surface are due to the accumulation of iron salts.	Radiation: Weak Weight Effect: Weak
Stone Heart	A common artifact found in gravitational anomalies. According to stalker legends, if you cut out a controller's heart, it will look exactly like this artifact.	Radiation: Weak Weight Effect: Weak

How to Get Artifacts

Obtained from Anomalies

Equip your Detector while near an Anomaly. You should hear a beeping sound if an Artifact is nearby. The beeping sound will beep rapidly if you are approaching near the Artifact. Once you've found the Artifact, simply pick it up from the ground.
