STALKER 2 Complete Artifact Guide ~HOW TO FARM THEM, HOW TO RESPAWN THEM AND MORE!~

[@Z3rgatul]

6:15 detector that shows distance detects artifacts from 100 meters, while starting detector and bear detector only from 50 meters. I always carry both

[@augiesaint]

did not know that, will start carrying both on me from now on too tyty

[@Z3rgatul]

@@augiesaint it also can be helpful if you are right above or below the artifact it gives you an idea how far below or above you should go

[@PackthatcameBack]

The one you're after is called Liquid Rock and it gives maximum radiation and maximum chemical resistance. I actually found my first one in that very spot you were farming.

[@NoblessObligee]

Petrice or something gives strong resistance. It's a green prince Rupert drop. It's rare and gives strong resistance from chemical aka acid areas like the area near concrete zone.

[@Sicklebeaner]

I've found 4 total. 2 is the most I'll ever need to I've sold the other 2

[@Lucasisgnarlybro]

I got one in floodspring I think to the left of the cement factory

[@Sicklebeaner]

@@Lucasisgnarlybro they can spawn at any chemical anomaly field if you get lucky

[@mctrailmix]

Wierd water is why your radiation wasn’t moving. The artifact gives you max radiation res

[@jscherr100]

I am not sure if this is the case but it makes sense to me. So maybe an emission does reset the spawn of an artifact, however it only resets in zones you are not in. So if you are in garbage during an emission then maybe the artifacts in garbage do not respond that time. So the ones in lesser zone or other places have respawned with the emissions. Haven't tested this theory but if someone wants to take this and run with it to see if it works that would be good. Just my thoughts process Or another possibility is the emission starts the respawn timer so it takes x amount of time after an emission for it to respawn so checking it right away won't work. Two very possible situations.

[@anormalloser]

Hey heads up, while the emissions were how new artifacts spawned in the older games based off of what I've been testing emissions do not seem to reset artifact spawns. I think its based off of some sort of timer for each individual anomalous zone.

[@augiesaint]

oh my bad on that then, just every time I been back to one after emissions they seemed to be respawned but that may have just been coz of time passing as well

[@NoblessObligee]

​@@augiesainthey put this out please! Crafting any armours weight/carry capacity increases your total carry weight to a maximum of 140lbs. Regardless of if you have it or not. Sell em store em just upgraded it while it's unequipped and you'll get maximum weight carry capacity

[@NoblessObligee]

​@@augiesaint free permanent weight increase. North of red trees/zone there's a outpost that starts with a Y. Yanuar or something. It has 2 pieces of gear that is sold and both have carry capacity improvements. Rest 2 times and you refresh the stock. Should only take. 8-9 pieces to get to 140. Free weight increase You can do this anywhere so long as they can upgrade the gears Carey weight.

[@zantar2482]

I'm totally new to the game, but I thought that a dialog or note or something said that the Emmisions reset the anomalies. It would have been early game in that first base area that I heard that. Maybe it was npc to npc dialog too. I want to say i heard it in that bar, but idk. I didn't know wth was going on lol

[@anormalloser]

@@zantar2482 i know that they did say that. But i have gone out immediately to check for new artifacts after emissions and every time (at least for the closest ones that ive just been to) the artifacts have not respawned

[@littleboxes9662]

2:05 I believe the reason you weren't getting rads was because of the weird water as at least with the Liquid Rock (Max Rad Res) it can only cancel out one Max Rad artifact anything else that gives rad even weak rads will still affect you.

[@augiesaint]

ah okay that would explain it so the wierd water is actually pretty op then xD

[@yaniniangaming3402]

@@augiesaint wierd water gives you rad protection 15 while max negative rad from artefacts its only -0.5, so wierd water will cancel out 4 max negative rad artefacts and will have lots of rad protection to spare

[@Lucasisgnarlybro]

I got liquid rock and a artifact with small rad debuff and a medium one also and weird nut I don’t get rads I think liquid rock cancels out to the maximum amount but I don’t get many rads anyways so idk if game is bugged very rarely do I die from a rad spot 🤷🏽

[@TheQcjoe47]

Liquid metal was my first legendary! Found it randomly in the chemical plant

[@derpybaboon3096]

Great info as usual

[@yakumoyukari4405]

7:20 no it doesn't, lore wise yes they are supposed to appear after an emission but currently in the game they respawn over time for some reason. Checked it dozen of times and nwver had artifscts appearing after the emission

[@plump688]

I recomend removing your gear when farming. It takes to much damage, costs to mush to repair and it works fine most of the times just popping a few medkits.

[@augiesaint]

sounds like an interesting plan will try it out next time

[@plump688]

@@augiesaint I'm only in Garbage atm, so it you might take more damage further into the game. Also for me emisions do not reset artifacts. IRL time does. Just now, whent back to a site right after an emision and after farming it, (nice timing no respawn. Farm artifacts before going to bed (irl) and if I farm in the morning they are back.

[@Lucasisgnarlybro]

This is why I stick with the siva d and keep my expensive guns in my box and use them occasionally I mostly use the g36c or gp37 and special unique ak-74u I’ve only got 350000 or something which is hardly anything lol 😅

[@funkengruven7773]

Does the water gravitation ball anomaly that sucks you in (the one in the lesser zone) always give the child's ball as a reward? I got the Childs ball as reward with only a couple main missions complete (before choosing Ward or Stalker). I thought since it was a Water Grav "Ball" and the reward was a Child's "Ball" they were tied together, but it sounds like I got lucky to get the ball or receive it that early... Or does everyone get the Child's ball from that anomaly?

[@augiesaint]

every one gets the "weird" ball and its one of the 6 arch artifacts found in the 6 arch anomalys the weird water being one of them as well

[@nissanskyline7151]

Got compass right in the start of a game so quality and progress a not bound

[@joshlathbury8170]

The only info i can see that may be wrong is the wierd water cancels out rads too i use it in my build for that and weight

[@ImmanuelH.]

I’m resetting this thermal anomaly and I constantly keep getting mamas beads nothing lower or higher tier and I believe there are 2 lower tier items so I think only certain anomaly’s reset the artifact when reloaded

[@augiesaint]

all artifacts can be reset I have done it with many different types but the problem is if you maybe passed the area before without noticing there is an artifact or looking for one it could have already spawned so then if you save a hundred meters out it wont work since the artifact has already spawned from you passing by earlier could be the problem, in that case just take the artifact you get so that it can respawn in the anomaly after some time/emission

[@Voidvanguard189]

does this work with the weird ball

[@augiesaint]

dont think so since its one of the arch anomaly artifacts, one per playthrough I think

[@1301983]

bro, how did you get so much weight capacity? :)

[@xPUGSLYx]

Weird water artifact. 50% carry capacity increase and max radiation immunity. Only get the vodka side effect every so often as it's con.

[@1301983]

@@xPUGSLYx thank you ;-)

[@Shywer]

Is that the best scanner? i got the scanner with the meters away but i think i switch back to the one you are using.

[@Z3rgatul]

The one that shows distance can detect artifacts from 100 meters away Bear detector (and starting) sees artifacts only from 50 meters So I carry both. I run with the one that shows distance. And once I am closer than 50 meters I switch to bear Also sometimes artifact is exactly above or below you, and bear detector doesn't show this Distance detector can help you to understand how far below or above artifact is

[@Shywer]

@@Z3rgatul thx!

[@xPUGSLYx]

The next scanner after bear is OP. Shows a dot for the artifact and all the anomalys around you.

[@MoistPocket]

pretty sure the first slot always cancels out any negative effects. seen someone say that in their vid

[@ChrisM541]

It only cancels radiation effect if you do a 'lead pocket' upgrade, and yes, that only affects the first slot.

[@T51B1]

The higher level artifacts don't spawn until you pass a certain point in the main story quest.

[@scottgreen5959]

What mission?

[@Oob144]

@@scottgreen5959i’d say it’s most likely after the SIRCCA missions.

[@ChrisM541]

I got Pure Water early in game. In general, though, most of the high level artefacts (not all) are locked behind story progress/area unlocks/suit protection. Luck, of course, plays a role too.

[@moltenpanther3736]

Not true I haven't gotten to sircca on my 2nd character and got hypercube and thunderberry

[@kawaiineko6173]

Yeah not true

[@Traven89]

welcome to STALKER

[@KoldRussian]

For some reason you can’t do this with gravitational anomalies it just gives you the same one every time

[@augiesaint]

I have tested it with multiple different types of anomalies I think what might have happened is you may have passed that anomaly earlier and forgotten about it so the artifact would have already spawned and at that point it doesint mater how far away you go and come back its already spawned so you would have to take what you get and then wait for it to respawn after some time/emission and then make sure to save before you get near it to reset farm it

[@AustinBlack28]

heads up i think they have patched the artifact spawns,i think its a one and done type of deal now,farming is now finished for us

[@kawaiineko6173]

I think u still can , i tryed it Yesterday First time and it worked

[@AustinBlack28]

@ this might be a long shot but...if you rest 2 times the artifacts respawn

[@The-Real-aPOC]

There are several bugs/glitches with traders. I had an annoying bug where when I go to a trader, the trader has a permanent 5000 coupons in the trade window instead of zero, all I have to do is click confirm without putting any loot in the trade window and I got the coupons. I was curious how many times I could click it, I ended up with 400,000 and nothing I tried would remove the permanent 5000, so I was forced to start a new game.
