How to find and use Artifacts in Stalker 2

Search the anomalies to find the Artifacts (Image via GSC Game World)

Once you have located an anomaly, quickly bring out your Detector and point at it. If there is an Artifact, it will start beeping. As you move closer to the Artifact, the beeping becomes increasingly frequent. Once you have found the Artifact, open your Inventory and equip it in your Artifact slot to activate it.
