STALKER: artifacts. "Stalker": where to find artifacts in the game

The series of games "Stalker" captured the minds of gamers around the world. And let it not shine the graphic component, but it takes on the atmosphere, open world and diversity. In any of the three parts you can play for hours, dozens of hours - and always be very far from full passage. There are a lot of topics about these games, which can be discussed without end, but now we are talking about subjects that are of interest to so many people. These are artifacts. "Stalker" offers you access to dozens of such objects, but finding them will not be so easy. If you have no idea what it is, this article will tell you about this phenomenon in detail. So, what are artifacts? "Stalker" is a game in which any find can be extremely important for the survival of your character, so you should be very attentive to this issue.

What is an artifact?

In many computer games, there are objects that have special power - this is artifacts. "Stalker" also has artifacts in the game world, but they are slightly different from those that people are used to seeing in other computer games. Here are the items, the origin of which is not known to the end. They can form in the radiation zones under its terrible impact, and can appear in absolutely other ways that are absolutely unknown to anyone. However, as if the artifact was not formed, it is a goal for any gamer and non-player character, since it allows you to gain certain strengths. When you activate it, it starts to affect your body. While the activation process will not be performed, you will not be able to find out exactly which effect will be affected by this or that object. By the way, it is worth noting that it can also be negative. This is only a general description, further in the article will be said much more about the various game artifacts. "Stalker" does not suffer from their shortage.

What are they needed for?

In the game "Stalker: Clear Sky" artifacts can be useful to you in any form, be they negative or positive. The fact is that these objects are the main goal of single-player stalkers - they hunt for artifacts in order to earn money in this way. Many people come to the Zone precisely because the journey through it though is extremely dangerous for life, but it promises huge wealth if you can successfully find and sell artifacts in anomalies. Given the fact that initially you start out as a singleton stalker, you should also think about looking for these items in your free time. In the game "Stalker" artifacts can really become an excellent source of income for you, as well as good reinforcement, if you carefully treat them and use only those that will benefit you.

Origin of artifacts

In the game "Stalker: Call" artifacts can be very diverse, but how are they perceived directly in the game world? It is believed that artifacts are formed in anomalies, but it is due to certain kinds of influences, which are subjected to the remains of living beings, plants and various objects that appeared in the center of the anomaly. Naturally, no one can confirm this, so there is no single point of view. In addition, it is unclear even why such a process is happening - is a ready-made artifact an object over which the anomaly worked, that is, whether it is a product of creativity, or simply accidentally caught by an object that was simply processed and is its kind of waste? Among the stalkers and other people, there are various legends about what is happening in the anomalies, but nobody specifically can tell you anything. Also, hardly anyone knows where to find artifacts in the "Stalker", because if they were aware of it, they would have them themselves long ago. So if you want to get this or that artifact - go in search.

Search for artifacts

If you want to find out where to find artifacts in "Stalker", then you can give only one tip - look for anomalies. In the first parts of the game artifacts are located near the anomaly that formed them, and they can easily be seen even with the naked eye. The search is simplified by the fact that artifacts are illuminated by a light glow, and sometimes they can even move around in space. As you can see, in this case, the search for an artifact is not so complicated, nor can it be said that it is dangerous. However, with the release of the section "Clear Sky" everything has changed a lot. First, artifacts are no longer visible to the naked eye - to detect them you need to use a special device called a detector. When you use the detector near the location of the artifact, it is highlighted on the screen. However, that's not all. Secondly, the location of the artifacts has changed - now you can not find them next to the anomalies, you have to go right into the anomalies, which is much more dangerous. This is exactly how the search in the game "Stalker: Pure" was complicated. Artifacts, however, have not lost their popularity, in part because their cost and effectiveness have increased along with changes in the gameplay.

Properties of artifacts

Many gamers focus on the question: "Where are the artifacts?" "Stalker: Call of Pripyat" is a game in which you better focus on other issues, such as "What do they give?". Properties of artifacts - this is a very interesting topic, which you should as you should study before you go to the nearest anomaly in search of this or that object. The fact is that they all have positive and negative properties that are similar in those artifacts that are produced by a single type of anomalies. For example, if you find an object near the "funnel", you can understand that this artifact, when activated, will increase your defense against bumps and explosions. This is a very useful property, but you should remember that in parallel with this, such an artifact will be extremely radioactive, which will cause you damage of a completely different kind. And if you take an artifact from an anomaly of "rusty hair" for consideration, then it, on the contrary, clears your body of radiation - but if your character is injured, it will be much more bleeding. It is worth noting that the more powerful the object, the stronger its impact, but this applies not only to positive, but also negative effects. So in the game "Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl" artifacts should be used wisely.

Tactical approach

So, if you find an artifact, you can activate it and use it, and not just sell it. Activation is very simple - you have in your suit five slots, which you can use to place there the artifacts you found. Once the artifact is in one of these slots, it is activated, and its positive and negative properties begin to affect your character. These five slots are only present in the first game - in other parts it all depends on your costume - there can be one slot, and there may be more. But their maximum number does not exceed five. It is worth noting that you can activate several artifacts at once. And it is here that you can show creativity. If you correctly place your artifacts, you can eventually compensate for the negative effects of objects, making their action much more useful for your character. Naturally, this is not as easy as it would be - it will take a lot of time to find and select the necessary artifacts, but the result is worth the time.

Unactivated artifact

Many gamers are afraid to go in search of artifacts, because they think that their negative effects can expose their hero to too serious dangers, as long as they return for sale of the found object. But you do not need to worry: if you are not going to use the artifact for yourself. After all, to use it, you need to activate it. While it's just in your inventory, it's inactive, so no effects will function. While you do not activate it yourself, you will not get any positive or negative properties of this artifact, so you can safely deliver it to the merchant and sell it.

Creating anomalies

Initially, it was planned that with the help of artifacts you can create your own anomalies for their further use. However, in the end, the developers considered that this function is not needed in a single game, so they cut it completely. But she stayed in multiplayer mode. What is the essence of this function? If you find an artifact and activate it, then you can perform a very interesting operation. Take the activated artifact in your hands and immediately throw it to the ground. In a few seconds, a miracle will happen - a new anomaly of the same type in which the item was found will appear on the site of the artifact.

Artefacts "funnel"

So, you have learned all the basic data about what are the artifacts in the series of games "Stalker". Now it's time to look at some examples. To begin with, it is worth taking the most common anomaly - the "funnel". Here you can find Gravy, Screw and even Goldfish. All these artifacts are united by the same properties - positive reduces the damage from the cutting weapon by 2-5 percent, but at the same time they increase the radiation damage by five percent.

"Zharki" artifacts

The next three artifacts refer to the anomaly "Hot" - a drop, a fireball and a crystal. Each of them lowers the stamina of your character by 18 percent, but at the same time increases its protection from radiation by 10, 20 or even 30 percent.

Other artifacts

Naturally, there are far from two anomalies, but all the artifacts do not make sense to list. It's just worth noting that one anomaly can have a decrease in bleeding, but an increase in the damage from burns, while in another, an increase in endurance is combined with increased damage from electricity. So you should carefully look at the properties of artifacts and try to use them in combination so that the positive conditions of one artifact overlap the negative conditions of the other - it is possible to do this.
