Compass artifact

[Cerberus]

Just wondering, anyone manage to get this artifact from the RIBS location that is quite near to Zalissa?

Use the Stones and Cars as Cover and wait for a Window to move to the artifact you can shot at the artifact to move it a bit (or i am at the wrong place you mean the pull thingy right)

I think you kinda got the wrong idea from my question.

Lemme rephrase, is it possible to get the "Compass" Artifact at that RIBS location near Zalissa?

p.s;- I've tried for close to an hour, got all sorts of artifacts but no compass so far.

Yes it should be possible to grab Compass from this location.

[Gandope The Green]

I got one early on. I cant remember exactly where.

No worries buddy, at least you replied and tried to help, unlike some responses I've gotten before in this forum. lol

I see. Alright then, guess I'll keep on trying then. But damn, those grav anomalies are a b***h to navigate around. LOL

You mean you got in on the zone you started in? or somewhere further along other zones?

IIRC, if gives you maximum physical damage resistance or something. LOL
But also gives maximum radiation exposure.

I would not count getting major artifact from any anomaly in Lesser Zone. I recall reading that Lesser Zone anomalies have lower or restricted spawn rate for better artifacts.

I got mine from Claw in Zaton I believe.

Don't remember where I got it from but I did get one right near the end of my last playthrough.
Largely useless artifact, sadly.

Compass should technically be one of the best artifacts for dealing with combat scenarios. Buffing your physical resistance should be great way to lower damage intake.

I do have my doubts if artifacts work as intended because I can get shredded to pieces past mid-game even when wearing Compass and Corundum body armor. I once got shot by monolithian from Pripyat as I was walking near Yaniv for 80% of my HP in single shot. O_O

Let me put it this way.
I ran into a small room with 3 basically invisible gauss snipers. I had about 40% armor durability. Spending 2 mins here fried it to 0%.
First playthrough, pre-patch 1 with MORE broken ♥♥♥♥, I took 60%~ HP per Gauss shot and never more. But that's all the damage I took when I went in there at half durability.

In a Diamond Exo.
So armor looks like it doesn't work right, therefore that artifact is probably f*cked too lol.
And honestly, more damage resistance is literally never needed. You will only die to chimeras and pseudos if you keep getting stunned, sudden 0-100 radiation death traps and pitfalls.
