Mastering advanced inventory management in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is crucial for survival, especially when dealing with Artifacts. Properly equipping Artifacts and utilizing Lead Containers can significantly enhance your character's capabilities while mitigating negative effects like radiation.
How to Use Artifacts
Artifacts provide bonuses and buffs to status effects such as increased damage resistance and stamina. However, some Artifacts come with negative trade-offs. To benefit from an Artifact, you must equip it in an empty equipment slot through the Inventory menu.
Negate Radiation Using Lead Containers
Lead Containers are essential for managing Artifacts that emit radiation, such as Hypercubes and Thunderberries. When equipped, slots with a green underglow indicate they are protected by a Lead Container, which negates the radiation from the equipped Artifact. Locating All Lead Container Blueprint Locations is highly recommended to maximize your Artifact utility.
