Soul
An iconic and one of the most superstitious findings in electro anomalies. This is the Zone souvenir of choice and a beloved artifact of stalkers because of its energizing properties, making active movement less exhausting and seemingly more fun. Despite its fragile appearance, no known method exists to damage or shatter it.
Stone Heart
No one knows for sure the man who found it first and created the tale. To this day, stalkers claim the controller’s heart resembles this common gravitational artifact... Any recorded disproof hasn’t appeared yet, though.
Long-term interaction with mammal species leads to an increase in their connective tissue density. For local subjects, that mainly means they can grab and carry more precious scrap.
Mama’s beads
Considered a lucky find, this thermal artifact is highly profitable due to its demand on the black market and its beneficial biochemical effects on its bearer. A game-changing booster that influences the bloodstream, it allows stalkers to almost forget about using bandages or other conventional ways to stop bleeding.
Kolobok
Not easy to find, even harder to keep. This chemical artifact can slip from its bearer by stinging with microfilaments and transforming into an amorphous mass. Properly secluded, it warps the cell structures of the nearest organism — making it remarkably resistant to any type of aggressive chemical agent.
Magic Cube
Only the luckiest and most experienced artifact hunters got a chance to take hold of this rare treasure of gravitational anomalies. Its mechanism is still not researched properly, but the effect is notable: tangible damping of external kinetic energy bursts.
Extremely valuable and nearly invisible while being irradiated by the infrared spectrum.
The Zone is full of wonders, and these are just a few of the dozens of artifacts that can be found, exchanged, or looted. Whether you seek to make a fortune or embrace the risks and rewards of using them — the choice is yours.
