Unveiled: All Artifact Detectors in Stalker 2: Locations Revealed

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 Standard

The Echo Detector is your starting device. This small, yellow device uses 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 Enhanced Echo

Acquired during the "A Sign of Hope" side mission or from a vendor, the Bear Detector improves upon the Echo. It features concentric rings around its display; the more rings illuminated, the closer you are to the artifact. Full illumination indicates you've found it.

• Hilka Detector: Precision Targeting

Obtained during the "Mysterious Case" side mission from Sultan, the Hilka Detector offers a numerical approach. Decreasing numbers signify proximity to the artifact.

• Veles Detector: The Pinnacle of Detection

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