How to get all artifact detectors

Artifacts play a big role in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl gameplay when it comes to adding buffs to Skif's stats. The only way to capture an artifact from an anomalous area is to use an artifact detector and reach the specific point where the artifact will spawn. The whole process of finding an artifact can be tougher or easier depending on the type of artifact detector you use. Stalker 2 currently has four artifact detectors for players to use. This guide explores them in detail and explains how you can get them.

Players get the bear detector either under A Sign of Hope side quest or from any of the sellers in Stalker 2. It is an upgrade over the basic echo detector as it displays a visual indicator for the distance between the player and the artifact.

The Bear artifact detector has rings around its main display that gradually start to glow, depending on how far or close you are to the artifact. When all the rings light up, it means you are at the top of the artifact location and it will be spawned.
