While exploring the hazardous landscapes of *Stalker 2*, you’ll discover numerous anomalies that grant unique advantages.

From earth-shattering abilities that can influence the game's ending to minor enhancements—such as mitigating bullet damage while being stationary—each artifact comes with its own set of trade-offs.

Here’s a breakdown of the most coveted artifacts found within the game:
