This list encompasses all artifacts in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Remember to identify the anomaly type associated with your target artifact and farm that zone accordingly. Consider using a better artifact detector (like Veles or Bear) to improve your chances. Saving before entering an anomaly zone allows for reloading if the desired artifact isn't found.
