These are all the artifacts you can discover in *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*. When hunting for a specific artifact, it's crucial to identify the anomaly type associated with it and focus your farming efforts there. For a more efficient search, consider making a quick save before entering an anomaly zone. If the artifact you find isn't what you're looking for, simply reload and try again.

To enhance your chances of finding artifacts, equip a high-quality detector like the Veles or Bear, which can make spawning artifacts in their designated zones much easier. Happy hunting, and may your adventures in the Zone be fruitful!
