The game features a wide assortment of artifacts. Unlike many other games (e.g., S.T.A.L.K.E.R.), artifacts here do not provide bonuses when worn. Their main purpose is a source of income (they can be sold profitably to the Wandering Trader or other players via commission or directly), as well as leveling clan skills: completing clan quests for ‘Technology’ requires specifically artifacts. Additionally, some of them are necessary for one-time completion of storyline quests.

Carrying and Storing Artifacts
Since artifacts impose negative effects on the character, a special container is required to carry them. Containers can only be purchased from the Wandering Trader in the East Territories.
Please note:
- large container fits artifacts of any size;
- medium — only medium and small;
- small — exclusively small.
Container “S”
- Price: 1,000
- Weight: 2.0 kg
- For small artifacts.
Container “M”
- Price: 2,000
- Weight: 3.0 kg
- For medium-sized artifacts.
Container “L”
- Price: 3,000
- Weight: 5.0 kg
- For large-sized artifacts.
All artifacts (except “Drunk Snake”) do not impose negative effects in the safe zone even without a container. However:
- artifacts can only be placed into a stash or personal storage inside a container;
- in clan storage, they are allowed to be stored without a container.
