Tips for Efficient Artifact Farming:

Save Before Farming: Create a quick save before entering an anomaly zone. If the artifact isn't what you need, reload your save.
Use Better Detectors: Employ improved artifact detectors like the Veles or Bear to increase the spawn rate of artifacts in their respective zones.

By understanding the anomalous zone associated with each artifact, you can significantly improve your artifact farming efficiency in Stalker 2. Remember to consult a complete artifact list for specific details on less common items.
