The Pebble artifact

[Despair is my second name]

Okay this may sound dumb, but can you name me a place, where you can find this thing with 100%?

I know, that Pebble is COMMON and also GRAVITATIONAL, but the joke is that I played the game for 150+ hours and never saw such artifact. I looked through 3 or 4 anomalies (in Lesser Zone, one in Swamps, in Garbage and in Zaton) farmed here and there for an hour each and got anything but Pebble (several Compasses included).

I am starting to think that this artifact was cutted from the game and from corresponding achievement.

I have one I found somewhere in garbage.

Which at this point should be different from the one you got
happened to me with some electro anomaly in a building
so rinse and repeat till its a pebble

I did this again and again in mentioned anomalies...still no luck)
It's just insane and hillarious

im having the exact same problem. their "rarity scaling" is seriously bugged. ive farmed like 8 thunderberries, 3 liquid rocks and 2 hypercubes. they need to fix something in the randomization no joke ive found like 20 moonlights and not a single sparkler, broken rock, rosin, sapphire etc

low key need to ask, whats your difficulty? im wondering if this BS is accidentally attached to game difficulty in that weak commons only proc because the difficulty is high meanwhile legendaries are sh11ting out left and right for stalker diff and below. im on stalker diff

Not sure whether the drop rate which is bugged from the start or the game changes it as you progress through the story. Anyway I used this mod (Better droprates no common) to fix the common artifact spawn rate as I had almost gotten none after many-many savescumming tries. Since the game treats legandary artifacts as common artifacts for some reason, using this mod you can change it back, so common artifacts become legandaries, which means you will almost always get a guaranteed common/uncommon drop. I was only missing common ones in the end so farm out rare & legendary artifacts before modding.

Thanks for help but I've already solved the issue with another mod. Just to close problem with particular artifact and move to another game.
