   Artifacts Artifacts are physical objects that appear in anomalies only after Emissions. Artifacts are formed from anomalies, exposed to certain objects or conditions: The combination of an ordinary object(s) and an anomaly, the degeneration and death of an anomaly or if the anomaly is exposed to certain conditions. An example is the Crystal where it is a combination of metallic substances and the Burner anomaly. Emissions are known to be the catalyst in the actual creation of an artifact, although scientists in the zone are still unable to explain how this happens. Most of them are invisible and can only be detected with an artifact detector. The list of available artifacts for detection varies depending on the detector; the cheapest one has the smallest list, while the most expensive one can detect all artifacts. If you get close enough with the detector in hand, it will appear. Some artifacts can be found simply lying on the ground. Artifacts can move within anomalous zones, usually along a single cyclic trajectory, or they can be located at one point. Artifacts typically differ in their appearance and physical characteristics: they can be warm, light, heavy, etc. They also have properties that affect the wearer, such as healing, radiation protection, psionic health protection, and so on. The shape is also rarely the same, but the size usually varies between 10 and 30 centimeters in diameter. Artifacts are worn on a special belt, which allows the wearer to interact with the artifact; most stalkers have one. Putting an artifact in a backpack, however, will have minimal or no effect. For Stalkers, finding artifacts is the main source of income in the Zone; almost all merchants buy them. Scientists are also very interested in acquiring and studying artifacts, so there is a high demand for them.

   List of artifacts and their effects on the wearer: Note on ranks: (1) - minimal effect (common artifacts). (2) - average effect (rare artifacts). (3) - strong effect (especially rare or unique artifacts)

   Here the artifacts are presented in a list divided into categories depending on the positive effect, negative properties were not taken into account. ! Everything was filled out strictly according to this template: [Category]: [Artifact] ([Rank], [Occurrence]) Health Regeneration: Firefly (1, high), Kolobok (2, average), Soul (3, low) Wound Healing: Mama's Beads (1, high), Eye (2, average), Flame (3, low) Bleeding Resistance: Slime (1, high), Slug (2, average), Mica (3, low) Endurance Recovery: Battery (1, high), Dummy (2, average), Snowflake (3, low) Weight Capacity: Night Star (1, high), Gravi (2, average), Goldfish (3, low) Radiation Protection: Droplets (1, high), Jellyfish (1, high), Thorn (1, high), Wrenched (2, average), Crystal Thorn (2, average), Urchin (3, low), Bubble (3, low) Psi Protection: Stone Flower (1, high), Moonlight (2, average) Fire Protection: Crystal (1, high), Fireball (2, average), Shell (2, average) Chemical Burn Protection: Pellicle (1, low), Stone Blood (1, high), Meat Chunk (2, average) Electrical Shock Protection: Sparkler (1, high), Flash (2, average) Impact Protection: Spring (2, low)

   Detectors and Artifacts (Rank 1) can be detected by the "Response" "Bear" and "Veles" detectors (Rank 2) can be detected by the "Bear" and "Veles" detectors (Rank 3) can be detected by the "Veles" detectors

   The price of an artifact depends on its rank, demand, and the combination of positive and negative effects. All transactions within the Zone are conducted in Rubles (the standard internal currency for Stalkers, exchangeable for real money only outside the perimeter). The price varies within the following ranges: (Rank 1) 1,000-5,000 Rubles (Rank 2) 6,000-9,000 Rubles (Rank 3) 12,000-18,000 Rubles The price also depends on the faction. Scientists will pay you more for the artifact, as they need it for research. Other factions will buy artifacts at average prices, without markups. The exceptions are Bandits and Renegades, who will lower the price of the artifact to the lower limit. The Duty faction will not buy artifacts at all, the reason being ideology.

It consists of an abnormally hard material, unknown to science, with spikes varying in thickness from 0.3 millimeters to just a few molecules. It is widely available and quite effective, accounting for its stable price on the artifact market. It protects the wearer from moderate radiation exposure and removes it. When using the artifact, poor blood clotting was observed, meaning standard wounds bleed more stubbornly and require additional medical attention or multiple bandages to fully seal. It looks like a slightly elongated, deformed ball of blue crystalline color, but looks more like a dark earth color, due to the large number of small and microscopic spikes on the entire surface, two types of spikes are observed on it, from short to microscopic, and long and large. Detected by the following artifact detectors: "Veles", "Bear"

22. #22Urchinselective

    Keys: Urchin, Urchins

    | Artifact: Urchin | (Rank 3) | Occurrence: low | Parent Anomaly Burnt Fuzz. The Burnt Fuzz anomaly very rarely generates this artifact. Blood pressure rises, and the body gets rid of a large number of red blood cells. However, accumulated radiation is also eliminated. It protects and removes significant amounts of radiation, allowing one to avoid vodka and anti-rad, or can counteract the radiation from another artifact. When using it, blood clotting is poor, so even a single minor wound will bleed persistently, demanding extra bandages and care to stop. It has a dark earthy color and appears as a sphere with a densely packed multitude of long spikes on its surface. Detected by the following artifact detectors: "Veles"

23. #23Bubbleselective

    Keys: Bubble, Bubbles

It provides moderate psionic protection, which helps ease encounters with the Controller or phantoms. Emits weak radiation. The base material is hard and dull yellow. The artifact has an elongated and fairly thick discoid shape, with randomly shaped holes arranged in a circle on the top, creating something resembling petals. These holes emit a blue glow from the inner material of the Stone Flower. It is approximately the size of a palm. Detected by the following artifact detectors: "Veles", "Bear", "Response"

25. #25Moonlightselective

    Keys: Moonlight

    | Artifact: Moonlight | (Rank 2) | Occurrence: average | Parent Anomaly Electro. This unique electrostatic artifact can resonate under the influence of psionic waves. Stalkers have learned to precisely tune the artifact so that it resonates in the opposite phase to the main source of psionic emissions, thereby completely or significantly neutralizing their effects. It provides strong psionic protection, greatly simplifying combat with the Controller, helping one survive more of their psionic attacks, and staying in their psionic field longer. If used in combination with Moonlights, the Controller's attacks will have virtually no effect on the wearer's psionic health. It appears as a blue translucent sphere, at the center of which is an electrostatic discharge that emits a blue glow. Detected by the following artifact detectors: "Veles", "Bear"

26. #26Shellselective

    Keys: Shell, Shells

    | Artifact: Shell | (Rank 2) | Occurrence: average | Parent Anomaly Burner. When wearing this artifact, protein denaturalization occurs more slowly. In other words, the flesh can withstand higher temperatures and burns less. This allows the wearer to more easily investigate fire anomalies. It appears as two plates, opposite and at the same distance from each other; the plates cannot be connected or separated. Between the plates is a mucus. The mucus and the plates are dark beige. Detected by the following artifact detectors: "Veles", "Bear"

27. #27Crystalselective

    Keys: Crystals, Crystal

    | Artifact: Crystal | (Rank 1) | Occurrence: high | Parent Anomaly Burner. This artifact forms in anomalous zones with intense thermal activity. It actively absorbs excess heat, remaining cool to the touch. It emits weak radiation. Wearing the artifact slightly increases fire resistance, slightly reduces the risk of burns, and slightly increases the wearer's body temperature limit. Due to its insignificant fire protection and radiation emission, the artifact is unpopular and is easier to sell than to use. It appears as a cluster of large crystals protruding in various directions. The crystals' surface is transparent, and a lava-like liquid is visible inside. It glows faintly red. Detected by the following artifact detectors: "Veles", "Bear", "Response"

36. #36Anomaly hubconstantselective

    Anomalies, basic information.

    A single heading was used to record descriptions of anomalies: '| Anomaly: [Name] | [Type] | [Danger] | [Artifacts] |' Name - Anomaly Name Type - The type of anomaly. Determines the damage type. The following types exist: Chemical Electric Biological Gravity Thermal Danger - determines the level of threat from anomalies, depends on the visibility and injuries that the anomaly inflicts Artifacts - List of artifacts that can form in this anomaly

    Anomalies are randomly distributed and only change position after the Emission. There are fewer anomalies in southern locations, and more in northern ones.That is, any of the listed anomalies can be encountered, but if it is a southern location, then their number is noticeably less and it is safer here, but in northern locations there are more anomalies, it is more dangerous there.

    List of known anomalies: Electro, Gas, Fruit Punch, Burner, Burnt Fuzz, Vortex, Lift, Springboard, Whirligig

37. #37Whirligigselective

    Keys: Whirligigs, Whirligig

    | Anomaly: Whirligig | Gravity | High | Jellyfish, Stone Flower, Wrenched, Night Star, Goldfish | [External characteristic] Practically unnoticeable, air pulses periodically emanate, directed toward the anomaly, manifesting as a distortion of the air rolling in a wave. [Detection] Usually identified by the presence of scattered remains around or a light dust vortex, which may also contain leaves. When a bolt hits, it bounces in the opposite direction. [Anomaly effect upon contact] Lifts and spins an object, animal, or person to incredible speed, tearing them apart. It is crucial to not miss the moment when you are drawn into the anomalous vortex and avoid the zone of maximum effect in the center—only then is there a chance of escaping with minimal injuries.

38. #38Springboardselective

    Keys: Springboard, Springboards

    | Anomaly: Springboard | Gravity | Medium | Jellyfish, Stone Flower, Gravi, Night Star, Goldfish |

    [External Characteristics] A transparent anomaly that emits constant vibrations, resulting in distortion and over-pressure of the air. [Detection] Easily noticeable by the distortions in the air and the constantly flying leaves nearby. Throwing a bolt activates the anomaly. [Anomaly Effect on Contact] Upon contact with any object, even a small one, the anomaly suddenly contracts and throws away any objects caught within it. The results of an encounter with the "Springboard" can vary from minor bruises and contusions to instant death.

39. #39Vortexselective

    Keys: Vortexes, Vortex

    | Anomaly: Vortex | Gravity | High | Goldfish, Wrenched, Night Star, Stone Flower, Jellyfish | [External characteristic] It emits pulsations in the form of distorted air. Foliage usually flutters around the anomaly; when approaching the "funnel," the howling of air moving within it and faint pulsations can be heard. [Detection] It can be detected visually during the day by air distortions, flying leaves, and the sound of howling wind. Animal or human remains may also be found nearby, and a characteristic crimson stain will appear beneath the anomaly. Small objects do not react or activate the anomaly. [Anomaly effect upon contact] Upon activation, it pulls all objects within 10-15 meters into its center with tremendous force. The body of a human or mutant is compressed into a small sphere, and when the anomaly discharges, it is torn apart and scattered in all directions. After discharge, the anomaly is inactive for 15 seconds. If caught in the 'vortex,' there is no chance of survival.

40. #40Liftselective

    Keys: Lift, Lifts

    | Anomaly: Lift | Gravity | Low | Pellicle | [External characteristic] An invisible anomaly several meters in diameter where Earth's gravity is greatly weakened. This unique anomaly exists only in one location: at the stadium in Pripyat. [Detection] It can only be detected by objects hovering in it, which are often not there. [Anomaly effect upon contact] A gravitational anomaly within which the Earth's gravity weakens. By gradually drifting within it for several seconds, one can escape. It is completely invisible to the human eye. Entering the anomaly is often only possible with a running start; otherwise, it will "push" one back out. With a slight acceleration upon exiting the anomaly, it can "pull" one back in.

41. #41Burnt Fuzzselective

    | Anomaly: Burnt Fuzz | Biological | Low | Thorn, Crystal Thorn, Urchin, Kolobok | [External characteristic] The anomaly is a hanging, fibrous growth similar to lichen, usually attached to wood, metal, or concrete. The hanging part sways in the wind, and dark flakes occasionally fall to the ground. It grows both outdoors and indoors. [Detection] It can be easily detected visually, both the 'Burning Fluff' itself and the flakes falling from it [Anomaly effect upon contact] When any body approaches quickly, it emits a cloud of particles that burn upon contact with any surface. Since the anomaly doesn't react to slow-moving objects, one can slowly pass underneath it.

42. #42Burnerselective

    Keys: Burner, Burners

    | Anomaly: Burner | Thermal | High | Mama's Beads, Eye, Flame, Fireball, Crystal, Droplets, Shell | [External characteristic] When inactive, it appears as a column of hot air, occasionally flickering with sparks. When activated, the anomaly erupts into a column of flame with the characteristic sound of intense fire. The stream of warm air is directed strictly upwards, not confirmed by the influence of the wind. Powering the bolt can also activate the 'Burner' and make it visible. [Detection] It can be detected by a stream of hot, shimmering air and sparks that periodically appear in this stream. [Anomaly effect upon contact] When the anomaly comes into contact with any object, even a small one, it activates, and a column of red-hot flame erupts in place of the steam. For a Stalker without a good suit, this causes instant burns across the entire area of contact, which in most cases is unhealthy. The flame height is approximately 2 - 2,5 meters

43. #43Gasselective

    Keys: Gases, Gas

    | Anomaly: Gas | Chemical | Medium | Bubble, Firefly, Stone Blood, Meat Chunk | [External characteristic] It appears as a diffuse cloud of green toxic particles in a small area. When activated, it emits a cloud of toxic gases accompanied by a small flash of light. [Detection] Because it's essentially a suspension of green toxic particles floating in the air, it's barely noticeable. The presence of a foreign object triggers its activation. [Anomaly effect upon contact] When activated, it releases a cloud of toxic substances, accompanied by a characteristic weak flash of light, which burn the skin and, when inhaled, also burn the lungs. Toxins also burn mucous membranes, including the eyes. Death can occur in minutes. Any filtering device prevents toxins from entering the lungs, and any dense fabric prevents toxins from getting on the skin. A suit with a closed breathing system provides complete protection from the "Gas."

44. #44Fruit Punchselective

    Keys: Fruit Punches, Fruit Punch

    | Anomaly: Fruit Punch | Chemical | Medium | Mica, Slime, Slug | [External characteristic] A bubbling liquid substance emitting a bright green light. When it comes into contact with anything, it begins to hiss and corrode the object with acid, while also intensifying its glow. [Detection] It has a distinct green glow and a distinctive bubbling sound. [Anomaly effect upon contact] When in contact with skin, it leaves severe chemical burns and easily dissolves ordinary clothing and shoes.

45. #45Electroselective

    Keys: Electro, Electros

    | Anomaly: Electro | Electric | Medium | Snowflake, Dummy, Battery, Moonlight, Flash, Sparkler, Spring | [External characteristic] An anomalous formation approximately 10 meters in diameter. Electrical discharges flicker constantly throughout the anomaly, emitting a blue glow. It is usually located under fallen wires and power lines, but like anything else, it can appear anywhere. [Detection] A very noticeable and audible anomaly, due to the constant flickering of electrical discharges, it emits a blue glow and constantly emits an electrical sound [Anomaly effect upon contact] When any object, even a small one, hits it, it causes a discharge, after which the anomaly is inactive for 10 seconds. If a person or animal steps into it, the discharge will occur in their body, which is the case in most cases.

46. #46selective
47. #47------------------------Mutants-----------------------------selective
48. #48Blind Dogselective

    Keys: blind dogs, Blind dog

    | Mutant: Blind dog | Animal | low | 3 - 6 | Always | [Appearance, Sounds] It looks like a normal dog, but it has mutated to the conditions of the Zone, which is why it has lost its fur and eyesight, but its sense of smell has developed and it can sense and bypass anomalies. Can be easily detected by barking at a fairly large distance. [Attacks] Bite. Sometimes attacks with a running start. [Features] A single individual poses no serious threat, but a pack of blind dogs is a serious threat, even for an experienced Stalker. Because the dog is blind, the pack can be carefully avoided, but keeping a safe distance. A Stalker usually fights a pack by climbing a high object.

49. #49Pseudo dogselective

    Keys: Pseudo dog, Pseudo dogs

    | Mutant: Pseudo dog | Animal | High | 1 - 3 | Always | [Appearance, Sounds] Despite the name, this is an ancestor of wolves, mutated in the Zone's conditions. They don't howl, of course, but they can growl periodically. You usually only notice their presence when they attack. [Attacks] Bite. Bite in a jump. [Features] They are very agile, have instant reactions, and very sharp teeth. They see, hear, and smell everything. They are dangerous even when alone.

50. #50Psi Dogselective

    Keys: Psi dog, Psi dogs

    | Mutant: Psi dog | Animal | High | 1 | Always | [Appearance, Sounds] A psi-dog can be identified by its white fur. Otherwise, it is an exact replica of a pseudo dog. [Attacks] Bite. Phantom bites. [Features] The main danger lies in the phantoms, not the dog itself. It attacks with a swoop, trying to overwhelm the enemy with illusions, so you need to act decisively, not giving them even the slightest chance to get close. There's one behavioral characteristic of the psi-dog that helps in the fight. When a person first comes under the influence of the psi-field, phantoms begin to run towards them. The psi-dog itself, however, tries to stay away from its clones. If you notice it in time and pick off the first wave of phantoms individually, you can finish off the mutant very quickly. Sometimes, if the dog attacks from afar, it will run alone for a while, after which phantoms appear. Then, instead of wasting ammo on shooting the phantoms, you can immediately destroy the real psi-dog.
