What artifacts do you all use?

[Lich King Ark'Zhuul]

Still pretty green so I was wondering what are good ones to keep on your belt or just to carry? Havent really seen anything super amazing

[Insaniac]

I run 3 mamas beads, a moonlight, and a crystal. It gives me nearly infinite run energy, exceptional radiation protection, and boosts my bullet resistance. I also try to keep 5 fire batteries on standby so that I can repair gear.

Early game: Crystal, Mamas Beads, 3 Stone flowers (mostly) OR
Fireball, Goldfish, 3 Gravi (vs dogs & bloodsuckas)
Late game: 3 MBs, Grystal, Nightstar
{{Armor repair: 5 (or 4) electricity Batteries - keep geting Destroy Bloodsucker Lair from that guy in the Bar}}

[Lich King Ark'Zhuul]

Thanks! batteries sound amazing

Kolobok and Mama's beads are great togther against gunshots just keep in mind Mama's beads is exclusively made against projectile impact so carry 3 of these. Moonlight, Sparkle or Flash plus few fireball or crytstal make the best combination to run on high radiated fields without having your endurance dropping.
If you carry five of shell artefact and stay putt on any fire, you get healed really fast or build four of Batteries you can also get healed on any electrified area and anomalies.

[Bugscuttle]

Any 4 Batteries (or Pellicles) will repair Armor & Health. 5 will do it even faster. Just find the appropriate anamolies.
And yes, KOBOLOK! Forgot about those. But they're pretty late game. Still a MUST have!

Barely any artifacts at all since i cant find the good stuff

[Lil C]-[ew C]-[ew is ☂д☂]

Just jumped in the game after a long pause and I totally forgout about Soul even though is unstable I use five of those just to heal while I travel from one map to another instead of wasting medikits or bandages or Tourist's Delight.
Mica is also great to stop bleeding and way powerful than any other artefact for this purpose.

I remembered why Kolobok and Mama's Beads are not entirely equal, Kolobok is more used on mutant's fights when Mama's beads is made to be used in gun fights. There is also another artifact that I never used since it only protect you from impacts by falling but never tested Spring.

[Bugscuttle]

Can any of you explain just what Impact is? Spring protects 30% Impact. Just explosions? If I wear four or five Springs can I handle RPG rounds?

Time to experiment.
Pripyat awaits!

[Insaniac]

No, it's protection against fall damage. Which is to say that it's mostly useless.

[Bugscuttle]

Ok, then it's time to see how far I can fall...
Thanks - been wondering about that for an age.

Ohh please share that information on how far you can fall and live. Never tested this theory.

[Bugscuttle]

So far, jumped from a crane in Wild Territory without injury. Next will try train bridge in Cordon.

Cool! Hmm...can't think any place higher keep testing it out.
There is Chernobyl usine in the final chapter but if you are playing vanilla without any modifications I advise to make a unique save game in that map and keep your campaign intact.
