Stalker 2 Artifact Farming Guide: Finding Specific Artifacts in Anomalous Zones

In Stalker 2, efficient artifact hunting is crucial. This guide simplifies the process by categorizing artifacts based on their associated anomalous zones. With over 75 artifacts of varying rarity (common to legendary/mythical), this guide will help you locate the ones you need. While some are obtained through quests, most require targeted farming.

Artifact Locations by Anomalous Zone

The following table lists artifacts and their locations. Remember, using a high-quality artifact detector (like the Veles or Bear) significantly increases your chances of finding them. It's also a good idea to quicksave before entering an anomaly zone to reload if you don't find the desired artifact.
