All Artifact Detectors In Stalker 2 (& How To Get Them)

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 Basic Detector:

The Echo Detector is your starting equipment. This small, yellow device features a central light tube that pulses faster as you approach an artifact. While functional, pinpointing the artifact's exact location can be time-consuming.

• Bear Detector - An Improved Model:

Obtained during the "A Sign of Hope" side mission or from vendors, the Bear Detector offers a visual distance indicator. Concentric rings illuminate, providing a clearer sense of proximity to the artifact. Full illumination signals you've reached the artifact's spawn point.

• Hilka Detector - Precision Detection:

Acquired during the "Mysterious Case" side mission from Sultan, the Hilka Detector uses numerical readings to indicate distance. Decreasing numbers signify closer proximity to the artifact.

• Veles Detector - The Ultimate Artifact Finder:

The Veles Detector, earned by completing the "In Search of Past Glory" main mission, is the most advanced detector. Its radar displays the artifact's precise location within the anomalous field, also highlighting nearby hazardous anomalies.

This comprehensive overview should streamline your artifact hunting in Stalker 2.
