This comprehensive list covers all the artifacts you can find in *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*. To efficiently farm for a specific artifact, always check its associated anomaly and focus your efforts there. A smart strategy is to **create a quick save before entering an anomaly zone**, locate the artifact, and if it's not what you need, reload the save and try again.
To enhance your artifact hunting, consider using advanced artifact detectors like the **Veles** or **Bear**. These tools can significantly increase your chances of spawning the desired artifacts in their respective zones.
