While playing Stalker 2, chances are you've gone on an artifact farming spree to acquire some particular ones with particular stat bonuses that will complement your playstyle. However, not all artifacts can be acquired in the same anomalous zone as each artifact is tied to a specific elemental anomaly. Since there's a huge list of artifacts to acquire in the game, this guide makes things easier by detailing the types of anomalous zone you can farm them in.

These are all the Artifacts found in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. If you're looking for a particular artifact in the game, make sure to check which anomaly it's part of and keep farming those zones to get it. Players can also make a quick save before approaching an anomaly zone, find the artifact, and if it's not the one you're looking for, reload the save and try again.
Make sure to use a better artifact detector (i.e. Veles) or Bear to easily spawn artifacts in their respective zone.
