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

Author : Audrey Feb 07,2025

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 strobe light; the frequency increases as you approach an artifact. 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, the Bear Detector improves upon the Echo. It provides a visual distance indicator using concentric rings that illuminate as you near the artifact. Full illumination signals proximity to the artifact's spawn point.

Hilka Detector – Precision Targeting:

Acquired during the "Mysterious Case" side mission from Sultan, the Hilka Detector offers a numerical proximity reading. Decreasing numbers indicate closer proximity to the artifact.

Veles Detector – The Ultimate Artifact Finder:

Awarded for completing the main mission "In Search of Past Glory," the Veles Detector is the most advanced. Its radar displays the artifact's location within the anomalous field and also highlights dangerous anomalies in the vicinity.
