Discover All Artifact Detectors in STALKER 2 and Unlock Their Mysteries

This guide details the four artifact detectors in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, explaining their functionality and acquisition methods. Artifacts significantly enhance Skif's stats, but locating them requires an artifact detector. Detector effectiveness varies, impacting the ease of artifact discovery.

Artifact Detectors in Stalker 2

• Echo Detector – The Standard:

The starting detector. This small, yellow device uses a strobe light and beeping sound to indicate proximity to an artifact. Intensity increases as you get closer, but pinpointing the exact location can take time.

• Bear Detector – An Echo Upgrade:

Obtained during the "A Sign of Hope" side mission or from vendors. An improvement on the Echo Detector, it provides a visual distance indicator using concentric rings that illuminate as you approach the artifact. Full illumination signals you're at the artifact's spawn point.

• Hilka Detector – Precision Targeting:

Acquired during the "Mysterious Case" side mission from Sultan. This advanced detector uses numerical values to show an artifact's position within an anomalous zone. Decreasing numbers indicate closer proximity.

• Veles Detector – The Ultimate Artifact Finder:

Awarded for completing the main mission, "In Search of Past Glory." This is the best detector, featuring a radar that precisely locates artifacts and also displays nearby hazardous anomalies.

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the artifact detectors available in Stalker 2, assisting players in their search for valuable artifacts.
