Same here, even with the bugs and the jank. Although SH2 was incredible so its hard to choose one but this game is definitely going to be a classic when everything works well
Yup. Once I beat it, I’ll take a break from it. Then in a year or so, I’ll buy on the PS5 and start over and make different choices.

I just found this artifact.

Is this a rare one? Seems pretty great to get early on.

I got it without trying. I was going to steal the last loot from the stash in Garbage where they want you to put vodka in bags. Instead I steal the stuff. And look at what my thieving ways get me, an incredible artifact and an upgraded scanner.

It's rare but it's one you can get several times, you could probably farm it. I myself have 2 of them.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I meant, is it hard to get. I got it easily.

Some are, some aren't. The hardest thing is just knowing where to find them in the world.

Did you happen to travel a little east of Zalissya, the first town you reach? You may have noticed a big sphere of water expanding and contracting. Try going near it, there's one of these legendary artifacts there that I kept through the entire game.

I remember it pulling me. What artifact does it give you?

Weird Ball

It's probably one of the MVP artifacts in the game, it reduces the damage you take from weapons. If you're standing still, the reduction is even better. Good for gunfights when you're leaning around corners, since you're not moving, the artifact helps reduce the gun damage you take.

Hide behind things to get close, only move when it's stopped pulling things in. Right next to it, you'll find the weird ball artifact.

It also get heavier the more it protects.
