All Artifact Detectors In Stalker 2 (& How To Get Them)

This guide details the four artifact detectors in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, explaining their functionality and acquisition methods. Artifacts significantly boost Skif's stats, but locating them requires a detector. The detector's type impacts the ease of finding artifacts.

Artifact Detectors in Stalker 2

• Echo Detector - The Standard:

The starting detector. This small, yellow device uses a strobe light and beeping to indicate proximity to an artifact. The intensity increases as you approach. While functional, pinpointing the artifact's exact location can be time-consuming.

• Bear Detector - An Echo Upgrade:

Obtained during the "A Sign of Hope" side mission or from vendors. An improvement over the Echo, it features concentric rings around its display. These rings illuminate progressively as you get closer, providing a clearer visual indication of distance.

• Hilka Detector - Precision Targeting:

Acquired during the "Mysterious Case" side mission from Sultan. This advanced detector uses numerical values to show the artifact's location within the anomaly. Decreasing numbers indicate closer proximity.

• Veles Detector - The Ultimate Artifact Finder:

The best detector, rewarded for completing the main mission "In Search of Past Glory." It boasts a radar display precisely pinpointing the artifact's location and also highlighting nearby dangerous anomalies.

This comprehensive overview allows players to choose the most suitable artifact detector for their needs and gameplay style.
