PSA for new players, its pointless to go for endgame guns early because u cant afford to maintain it...just play the game and take ur time exploring as u go. The game gives u better gear at a rewarding pace, imo.
Thunderberry, Compass, Hypercube, and Liquid Rock are the 4 best Artifacts in the game currently, I ran those 4 through the rest of the game, of course after i farmed them. Hypercube gives you maxed Thermal and Bleed resist, Compass max Physical, Liquid Rock max Radiation and Chem Resist, and as he shows Thunderberry max Endurance.
Liquid rock(max rad/Chem), hypercube(max bleed/thermal), weird water(bonus 40 carry/max rad), weird ball(bullet resistance) & last slot you can go how ever but I prefer flower bud(medium physical protection/endurance) my preference
Mwrcenary, can be found on Cordon, light and strong. SEVA-D, easily missed, went with it possible 25% of the early-mid game, and then game throws you 2 corundums during Sphere fight with Monolits, that one again is a very nice armor, alas malachite armor is slifhtly better, but not too dramatic. And then just buy Liberty Exo when it becomes available and run quickly to Yanov to upgrade it with sprint, and that's pretty much all you need.
-You mixed up the exoskeletons; you said Liberty is best but Diamond is actually the best. Diamond has better elemental resistances than Liberty while Liberty has just a bit higher physical protection and Diamond can be gained without going into Pripyat. -Thunderberry, Hypercube, Compass, Liquid Rock, Weird Rock, Weird Water, Weird Ball, and Weird Nut are all great later game artifacts that can be swapped out depending on what is needed at the time but also keep in mind there is a cap in each defense stat. There's nothing that I know of that has maximum electrical protection or I would add it on the list as well. -Kharod can be quite good and converts to 5.45, possibly better than Dnipro depending on taste because it can mount an underbarrel attachment.
"Best" Exoskeleton dropped for me during one of the last main quests. But its a bug item. Its called "PC_HEAVYEXOSKELETON_SPARK_ARMOR" and has the icon of a loaf of Bread. Item Description says "sid_items_NPC_HeavyExoskeleton_Spark_Armor". Stats are as follow: 3 whole bars in Thermal, Electrical, Chemical and Psi Protection. 4 whole bars in Radiation and Physical Protection. It weighs 8kg, offers 2 Artifact slots and increases maximum carry weight by 12kg. Sadly you cant upgrade it. Its worth 90k. I guess its an NPC armor and not supposed to drop. Well, im 90k richer now.
@@artinotsoparty I just dropped a similar one by looting a dead mercenary in the red forest, it has the right icons and all but ... Can't be upgraded because the slots stay grey/unclickable 😢
I believe you confused the two armors. The stats you mentioned are inverted. The liberty one is the one with the minor physical increase and lesser anomaly defence stats. The diamond exo is the best armor in the game.
He explained his point, liberty has better anomalous protection and artifact slots. You can cover the physical protection with artifacts. Since physical protect has a cap, liberty is better as you can reach it with artifacts and have higher anomalous protection.
@@Sheriff-ev7my Yes you have it backwards, the Liberty is the one with higher Physical, the Diamond has the higher Elemental. Your entire argument is correct, accept for the fact your switching which armor does which, It's the Diamond that you mean.
I dont know how but i did got two compass artifacts like in 8 hours of playing the game, its maybe because i did freely explore the zone instead of doing the main story.
I just left zalissya and my main story mission is to go to detention center but I made it all the way to pripyat and was able to upgrade exoskeleton and all my guns at the technician.
I actually prefer the Kharod to the Dnipro because of the underbarrel slot, for either a shotgun or grenade launcher. A fully upgraded one matches the Dnipro in Penetration, Rate of Fire and Accuracy, wins in range and loses a little in damage. (Penatration being more important anyway) Ammo is also easy enough in mid/late game. With 5.56 also being quite common. And the underbarrel pushes it over for me. Having a shotgun underbarrel removes the need to lug around a ram-2. Same for the grenade launcher and regular grenades, although ammo is rarer. As for artifacts I'd recommend: - The Hypercube: (Legendary Thermal Anomaly) Which gives max bleed resistance and max thermal protection, but gives max rad. Which you can cancel out with - The Liquid Rock (Legendary Acid Anomaly) Which gives max rad & chem protection with no downsides. I also used the mentioned Compass as well as Weird ball & nut. With this you barely take damage in gunfights while standing still, and bleeding becomes a non-issue.
I agree, the underbarrel options for the G37 and Kharod put them over the top for me. I know a lot of people swear by the Saiga, but depending on what you're doing and your playstyle, having just one gun in your inventory that can do two or three jobs just by switching attachments, can save on weight and time.
@@ZakEmber Rhino shotgun is good, as skiff pistol is zero weight due to quest item, you also need good sidearm for running (inhand gun effect running speed/distance).
The Mark I EMR is really the only gun you need if you can keep a steady supply of .308 ammo. It hits hard AF and drops most humans in a single shot and can be fired in full auto for those jump scare Bloodsucker encounters so it's great at any distance. Stat wise it's very hard to beat. The DNIPRO is definitely the best assault rifle. If I could only carry one though it would probably be the DNIPRO just because ammo is more common.
@@karljohn2000 underbarrel is overrate IMO, for boss and over 50 m, i use gauss rifle, ram2/D12 for blood sucker, dnipro/kharod for under 50m, skiff pistol for stealth, and shotgun Rhino for running (inhand gun effect running speed). Special equip for special situation, underbarrel just make gun heavier, i also compare gauss to rpg7/M203, gauss win.
i have to say, i used compass artifact in my playthru and got it as a random drop without save scumming. Got it first try aswell with the thunderberry. I am playing on pc so it should work. Seems like others in the comments got it too so maybe not bugged. Just really rare.
also you can only get the saiga drum mag at the end of sterloks story, attached to a saiga next to the last story room before the game ending so kinda funny. extended mags worked just fine tho.
i’ve found the SSP-100I survey is the better armour over the SEVA-I. you can buy it from the vendor in malachite so it’s middle/end game but you get it right after where the SEVA-I suit is.
at the moment, pre-patch, the lead container upgrades on the SSP-100I don't work properly, so its kinda dumb to use it cause youd need to get artifacts to counter act the radiation from other artifacts. Thats probably a major point for why to use the Seva for now.
Neat vid. Will definitely reference when I go after the weird nut. Currently running one of the seva suits (whichever you get in cement factory), a modded kharod with an acog, and a modded saiga. Using dual springs in my lead containers because I'm not far enough to where I'm struggling, but will obviously adjust later.
There is a seva-d armor on top of the cage in the concrete factory region, you can get it juste after leaving the lesser zone but you better store medikit, it's a psychic zone.
The Buket/Spitter are so amazing, I got the S-2 from the Budmo mission and Spitter from the Zakar Babay mission chain and I just can't stop using them as my main.
Seems that noone is mentioning that you have to make a game save and farm artifact location before you visited it after last emission (not came closer to it for like 200m). This is very important. Otherwice you will be getting same artifact all the time. I can confirm this is working in version 1.0.2. I got a Thunderberry after around 25 runs from a tunnel near the Depot in Garbase (south-west of the region). So probability of getting legendary artifact is pretty low - couple of percents, maybe 1.
You can get the compass in the rock ribcage area think it’s a guaranteed spawn there. Can’t remember the name of the location but you’ll know it if you see it on the map
I find Compass near Sidorovich (Kordon). It was really funny. At the first time, I found "Spring" in the anomaly near Novice village, but then I died and reloaded the game; I've checked this anomaly field and found Compass)
That's weird but because I followed your guide to get the diamond exoskeleton and i've upgraded it to sprint. I've just got into garbage for the main quest.
Replace the weird flower with the that one legendary artifact that gives you max acid and radiation resistance and this video gives you all the artifacts you need for the end game
I got compass first try fairly early on, but couldn't use it without lead pouches. And I just found the hyper cube, but the game crashed like crazy when I started getting shot at. I quick saved it, but was too tired to keep playing. The POI beside it kept infinite spawning zombies, dogs, and boars for a war.
and there is a drum mag fro it. tho i only had it after the "no return" point of the story, in "open world" i could only find the extended mag, not the drum one(didn't even knew it existed before i found it)
First artifact I found was the compass artifact when trying to farm for the whirlwind for the first trader. RnG is a funny thing I guess. Still haven’t gotten whirlwind to drop
You have it backwards. The diamond is the one with the lower physical with higher thermal, chemical and psi resistance. It also doesn't need any blueprints to upgrade.
Regarding Compass- I've managed to get it from anomaly field north to Rookie Village in Cordon. So it's possible to get it Also, why not Weird Water? Other than negating any radiation from artifacts, it also gives you flat +40 kg carrying capacity so rather significant. Weapon wise- Saiga is nice, but I'd also say that Sledgehammer could be a good recommendation, giving it's high damage. And, imo, reloading single shell can be good or bad. Bad because longer reload till full, good because when you fight charging mutant you have a chance to not be caught defenseless in the middle of reloading, but rather you can have a shell or two loaded in and shoot the beast. And added bonus is that you can upgrade it fully.
Maximum only raises one full bar of said stat. Compass for example gives max physical resist literally with the diamond exo I had the diamond exo equipped and wondered I’m still taking as much damage aswell testing with all 4 equipped and realized this has to be correlated with the “bars of stats” that’s why endurance stacks high aswell as bleeding thermal etc because they’re not stated and more than likely low.
Playing on PC and I just found the compass artefact yesterday in cordon in the gravity anomaly right above the rookie village. I think u just need to be lucky to get it. Probably 1% spawn chance or something like that...
I want to point out the lead container blueprint ghost followed me ALL the way back to the base. I noticed my compass would be red here and there randomly running back and as Im putting things away I hear a warzone outside the base with about 30 guards shooting with barrels and bodys floating and flying everywhere. CINEMA
I've decided I like Kharod better than Dnipro simply because you can mount the underbarrel shotgun to Kharod, giving you 5 rapid fire shotgun blasts and a quick reload when you need them, without having to switch guns (switching fire mode is quicker).
Funniky enough i havent really done much artifact hunting at all, just ran around doing main missions. Im at the point where im heading to clear sky and the onky artifact I have is the compass lol
I use the Clusterfuck and the D-12 you get from the end of the seek and find mission. So far, it's been pretty fun using those 2 guns. The cluster comes with a silencer and a sniper scope, and it's a single shot, but you can add a grenade launcher and a 50-round mag to it, which I have done. The custom D-12 comes with a holosight and laser. I grabbed the 12 round extended mag, but I later (using PC mods that add console commands) I spawned in the 20-round drum mag. Pistol I have been using a USP. I just got the gambit, so I'm going to see if that's any better.
You should use the APSB for a pistol when you get it. It is super OP and has very high penetration. I beat the game using it for the majority of the time with basic 9x18 ammo. You can find an extended mag for it which upgrades the magazine to 30 and upgrade it so it can take a red dot. Definitely the best pistol in the game by far.
That area with the seva suit is bugged for me, when i went through just as i got in the building and made my way down I stopped to look around, at the time I couldnt tell but i could have swore it was either a seva or merc suit, then a group of mercs literally spawned right on the ground floor, one of them backed up and pushed the suit through the ground as they started shooting at me 😭
I got THUNDERBERRY at that location on 1st Try, got shot by Bandits and Died. Luckily had saved 110m away. Again came back again tried an voila, got it AGAIN. Do check the location out I had a SIVA-I Suit and I went a Night. Legendary artifacts spawn when you have good gear I think.
I'm pretty lucky, i got the thunderberry, compass and hypercube from just exploring the lesser zone and garbage normally. I did have to savescum the liquid rock though for 7 whole hours before finally getting it.
I have to say 28 mins can’t be the average for legendary artifacts I tried for more than 3 hours trying to get the thunder berry and still didn’t get it
You don't need Compass. Physical resistance has a max cap in this game at 5 bars. the ratings for the artifacts goes as follows. weak = 1 medium = 2 strong = 3 maximum = 5 If you have an armor with a physical resistance of 3 bars then you only need medium physical resistance to reach cap. thankfully their are two artifacts that give both medium physical resistance and medium endurance that can stack with thunderberry. you can test the physical resistance yourself with grenades.
I think the Thunderberry is a myth. I am in the area you show and I have gotten the artifact like 40 times and it has yet to drop a Thunderberry. I have gotten 20 other ones.
### Just a note for folks, I believe compass has been fixed. I am running with broken SEVA I (Unless this mechanic is broken) and I am able to take bloodstuckers hit to the face compared with me not using the artifact.
I don't think the compass isn't buged. The dop rate is just insanely low. i re loaded to get it 112 times, gave up, and found it randomly by chance outside the lesser zone it may have bin it can't spawn in the lesser zone that is also possible this was on 1.1.3 thought as well
Man I haven't been able to find not one legendary artifact yet... very frustrating cause i feel like im half assing through the game, I just got to Malachite too. (except for the weird ball cause its a spawn)
I cant land on the ladder from stair railing to save my life trying from exact spot and i fall or overshoot every time wtf gives trying to get siva suit
why not PSZ-12V Bulat as non-exo armor? Top phys resistance, +carry weight +stamina, 2 lead containers, considerably earlier in the game, easy to upgrade and maintain. Anomaly protection is less but I use artefacts for that anyway
SEVA-I Is better because it has psi resistance along with better overall stats. SSP-100I Survey could be better but the lead containers dont work correctly currently.
Compass does spawn but it took me a couple hours, so maybe even lower spawnrate Edit: you didn't mention the weird water artifact, hands down the best, with my current gear of diamond exo, weird water, liquid rock, compass, thunderberry and hypercube i have 140kg carry weight and thx to weird water radiation from artifacts is not affecting me
Thunder berry been trying to get but it keeps giving me the same anomaly. I saved 170meters away but no change. I’ll just farm electric anomalies because they may have patched it
So I had this happen as well. I reloaded my save and ran to the scaffold as fast as I could. I am wondering if there is a time limit to get this artifact
I actually prefer the kharod and got rid of my dinipro as there’s less recoil and better long range accuracy the easiest way to get the kharod early in in hangar using the dam on the far left side although both rifles are strong in the game especially in the earlier game regions like garbage and yantar etc
Why the hell the best artifacts never spawn for me, as you say you have to save a game 150m away from it and reload a few trys, was the same for me with the bolt artifact
Yeah it took me over 6 hrs and over 500 reloads trying to get liquid rock artifact and each artifact location is random from one persons game to another and some will have the same location. Some people are just really lucky to find any of these legendary artifacts first try or less than 10 tries
I came back to rostock after 5alk the malecite stuff, and was doing a vendor refresh meds and ammo and just random checked the armour lady and a awesome exo suit showed up, could upgrade it so i can sprint with no blueprint and has insane stats, since then ive found 2 following the story missions and they aint as good, also, now every single npc thats isnt preplaced has a exo, i think the enemies armour and weapons actually scale somehow, game is like they equipped this armour now all npcs spawn with this armour stat and above, so the poorest rookie to the most hardened stalker about to enter pripyat, they all got exos, and late game weapons. For me it started after the malecite missions, these rare, hard to maintain let alone come by suits are now worn by everyone
Naw I'd definitely take the PSZ-91 Falcon over the SEVA-I Suit. Don't get me wrong, SEVA-I is still worth having as a backup, but Falcon is better and you can also just run to the area early game.

I actually prefer the Kharod to the Dnipro because of the underbarrel slot, for either a shotgun or grenade launcher. A fully upgraded one matches the Dnipro in Penetration, Rate of Fire and Accuracy, wins in range and loses a little in damage.

Playing on PC and I just found the compass artefact yesterday in cordon in the gravity anomaly right above the rookie village. I think u just need to be lucky to get it. Probably 1% spawn chance or something like that...
You can find Mark 1 EMR in Army Warehouses too.
I want to point out the lead container blueprint ghost followed me ALL the way back to the base. I noticed my compass would be red here and there randomly running back and as Im putting things away I hear a warzone outside the base with about 30 guards shooting with barrels and bodys floating and flying everywhere. CINEMA
I've gotten a legendary artifacts that give max chem and radiation resist with no drawbacks. Called liquid rock.
I don't see anyone talking about the Corundum suit from the Island. I maxed it out and it has more armor than the Cuirass Exoskeleton.
@LunarGaming where did you find the suppressor for your dmr?
I've decided I like Kharod better than Dnipro simply because you can mount the underbarrel shotgun to Kharod, giving you 5 rapid fire shotgun blasts and a quick reload when you need them, without having to switch guns (switching fire mode is quicker).
Funniky enough i havent really done much artifact hunting at all, just ran around doing main missions. Im at the point where im heading to clear sky and the onky artifact I have is the compass lol
i got compass 2 days after you posted this, guess they fixed it.
I spent 4 hrs trying to get thunderberry and never got it 😎 ill probably try again soon
I use the Clusterfuck and the D-12 you get from the end of the seek and find mission. So far, it's been pretty fun using those 2 guns. The cluster comes with a silencer and a sniper scope, and it's a single shot, but you can add a grenade launcher and a 50-round mag to it, which I have done. The custom D-12 comes with a holosight and laser. I grabbed the 12 round extended mag, but I later (using PC mods that add console commands) I spawned in the 20-round drum mag. Pistol I have been using a USP. I just got the gambit, so I'm going to see if that's any better.
You should use the APSB for a pistol when you get it. It is super OP and has very high penetration. I beat the game using it for the majority of the time with basic 9x18 ammo. You can find an extended mag for it which upgrades the magazine to 30 and upgrade it so it can take a red dot. Definitely the best pistol in the game by far.
That area with the seva suit is bugged for me, when i went through just as i got in the building and made my way down I stopped to look around, at the time I couldnt tell but i could have swore it was either a seva or merc suit, then a group of mercs literally spawned right on the ground floor, one of them backed up and pushed the suit through the ground as they started shooting at me 😭
the best suit ist the PSZ-9 Falcon you can became a free version on the Malachit Station.
I got THUNDERBERRY at that location on 1st Try, got shot by Bandits and Died. Luckily had saved 110m away. Again came back again tried an voila, got it AGAIN. Do check the location out I had a SIVA-I Suit and I went a Night. Legendary artifacts spawn when you have good gear I think.
I'm pretty lucky, i got the thunderberry, compass and hypercube from just exploring the lesser zone and garbage normally. I did have to savescum the liquid rock though for 7 whole hours before finally getting it.
I have to say 28 mins can’t be the average for legendary artifacts I tried for more than 3 hours trying to get the thunder berry and still didn’t get it
You don't need Compass. Physical resistance has a max cap in this game at 5 bars. the ratings for the artifacts goes as follows.
weak = 1
medium = 2
strong = 3
maximum = 5
If you have an armor with a physical resistance of 3 bars then you only need medium physical resistance to reach cap. thankfully their are two artifacts that give both medium physical resistance and medium endurance that can stack with thunderberry.
you can test the physical resistance yourself with grenades.
10:35 saiga 12 has a big magazine mod 20 bullets too bad i found it at the end mission, where u cant turn back
Artifact wise I can get hyper cubes and compass fairly regularly but not the thunderberry or liquid rock
i randomly found a compass artefact in cordon when i was returning to sidorovich from strelok. maybe i got lucky idk
dnipro with 7.62mm ammo is crazy, tho the BP for the upgrade is in prypiat
I am using the Cuirass Exoskeleton with exoskeleton sprint mod.
The wolfhound armor is my favorite
I think the Thunderberry is a myth. I am in the area you show and I have gotten the artifact like 40 times and it has yet to drop a Thunderberry. I have gotten 20 other ones.
Search near witch cave in the red forest, rocks near border to yantar
### Just a note for folks, I believe compass has been fixed. I am running with broken SEVA I (Unless this mechanic is broken) and I am able to take bloodstuckers hit to the face compared with me not using the artifact.
Thanks for these content bro where can i find the scope that puts on the m416?
Thx!!
Side note none of the anomaly locations aside from the weird bolt are fixed spawns.. enjoy
weird ball, weird water & weird bolt are fixed as well afaik (so all the "weird" seems to be fixed?)
Grom S-15 is crazy.
Where is the drum mag for the saiga 12?
Liquid rock is the best artifact because it gives maximum radiation and toxic protection
I don't think the compass isn't buged. The dop rate is just insanely low. i re loaded to get it 112 times, gave up, and found it randomly by chance outside the lesser zone it may have bin it can't spawn in the lesser zone that is also possible this was on 1.1.3 thought as well
Compass can spawn on console, I’m rocking one right now
That would explain why i found two in 8 hours of playing lol
Weird, all the enemies I encountered in Pripyat were wearing exoskeletons.
Wait how do I get that nice looking radar scanner thing you have in this video?
several artifact scanner to upgrade, this is 2nd best, the "bear" one. you can find it or side quest reward, or buy it from merch later one
Man I haven't been able to find not one legendary artifact yet... very frustrating cause i feel like im half assing through the game, I just got to Malachite too. (except for the weird ball cause its a spawn)
the fire tornado at the cooling tower wasn't spawning the artifact for me either... frustrating 😂
I cant land on the ladder from stair railing to save my life trying from exact spot and i fall or overshoot every time wtf gives trying to get siva suit
I found a compass in wild island a few days ago
why not PSZ-12V Bulat as non-exo armor? Top phys resistance, +carry weight +stamina, 2 lead containers, considerably earlier in the game, easy to upgrade and maintain. Anomaly protection is less but I use artefacts for that anyway
SEVA-I Is better because it has psi resistance along with better overall stats. SSP-100I Survey could be better but the lead containers dont work correctly currently.
was my choice until i found the falcon
I got the compass my first try in that location, I guess I’m lucky 😅
I have the compass artifact 3x. Does it make it sense to equip it more than once? Does the physical protection stack?
I found a compass in the lessor zone
Does the wierd nut pop up at a certain time in the game? Cuz nothin is there for me rn.
Compass does spawn but it took me a couple hours, so maybe even lower spawnrate
Edit: you didn't mention the weird water artifact, hands down the best, with my current gear of diamond exo, weird water, liquid rock, compass, thunderberry and hypercube i have 140kg carry weight and thx to weird water radiation from artifacts is not affecting me
I got compass on xbox Tuesday or Wednesday in the wild island gravity anomaly it took about an hour of farming
Thunder berry been trying to get but it keeps giving me the same anomaly. I saved 170meters away but no change. I’ll just farm electric anomalies because they may have patched it
the nut do not show up for me try it 4 times
Yeah same
So I had this happen as well. I reloaded my save and ran to the scaffold as fast as I could. I am wondering if there is a time limit to get this artifact
I actually prefer the kharod and got rid of my dinipro as there’s less recoil and better long range accuracy the easiest way to get the kharod early in in hangar using the dam on the far left side although both rifles are strong in the game especially in the earlier game regions like garbage and yantar etc
what did you mean "you can just give yourself the artifact?
How do you get weapon attachments for these guns? Are they bought from vendors?
can be bought at some places, or looted from various places
How to make a black hole to destroy everything (secret ending):
Get the weird Bolt and Nut anomalies, and just combine those two. Have Fun, stalkers!
What armor gives you the most Lead Container slots? Are there any with more than 2?
Upgrade your armor or just get better one
Why the hell the best artifacts never spawn for me, as you say you have to save a game 150m away from it and reload a few trys, was the same for me with the bolt artifact
Taking forever to find thunderberry
Very good video
Diamond exo is hands down the best armor in the game brotha
Sleeping on the integral-a you can upgrade to have highest range in game and highest armor with 3 bars do that with burst fire everything just dies
Armor piercing
Integral a is the best smg that everybody sleeps on
Yeah it took me over 6 hrs and over 500 reloads trying to get liquid rock artifact and each artifact location is random from one persons game to another and some will have the same location. Some people are just really lucky to find any of these legendary artifacts first try or less than 10 tries
I came back to rostock after 5alk the malecite stuff, and was doing a vendor refresh meds and ammo and just random checked the armour lady and a awesome exo suit showed up, could upgrade it so i can sprint with no blueprint and has insane stats, since then ive found 2 following the story missions and they aint as good, also, now every single npc thats isnt preplaced has a exo, i think the enemies armour and weapons actually scale somehow, game is like they equipped this armour now all npcs spawn with this armour stat and above, so the poorest rookie to the most hardened stalker about to enter pripyat, they all got exos, and late game weapons. For me it started after the malecite missions, these rare, hard to maintain let alone come by suits are now worn by everyone
Why not wierd water or the wierd nut?
you can 100% upgrade any exo in yaniv at any point in the game, the only thing stopping you is cash
Game looks good, like fallout 4. Nuked and open world with limited equipment. Hoping there’s more tho like armour and weapons
I had mine upgrade with sprint and it just bugged and quit working
Naw I'd definitely take the PSZ-91 Falcon over the SEVA-I Suit. Don't get me wrong, SEVA-I is still worth having as a backup, but Falcon is better and you can also just run to the area early game.
