Artifacts are unique items found within anomaly fields, possessing powerful properties that can either benefit or harm the user. To safely acquire artifacts, you'll need an anomaly detector. Different detectors have varying ranges and accuracy. Approach anomaly fields cautiously, observing the patterns of the anomalies before entering.
Once inside, use your detector to pinpoint the artifact's location. Be aware that some artifacts emit radiation or psionic energy, requiring appropriate protection. Always carry anti-radiation medicine and anti-psionic drugs when artifact hunting. Valuable artifacts can be sold to traders for sificant profits or equipped to provide passive bonuses like increased stamina, health regeneration, or resistance to various hazards. Experiment with different artifact combinations to suit your playstyle.
