▶️ㅤEach scanner can be activated (collected artifact) only once. I tried to organize the regions as the storyline progresses.
[📍]ㅤRegion — Garbage
The first scanner can be found after opening the «Garbage» location, if you are moving along the storyline. The easiest way to get to the location is from the «Slag Heap» camp. The scanner is located between the locations «Depot» and «Flea Market».


The scanner will be located near the excavator. After activation, anomalies will appear around the scanner, as well as a mutant dog.


You can get an artifact from the scanner: 💎 Whirlwind


[📍]ㅤRegion — Zaton
A fairly remote location with a scanner. The easiest way to get to the location is from the «Sultansk» camp. The scanner is located in the «Hydrodynamics Lab» location, in the third drain from the beginning, on the left side (the only one without bars).


When you get inside and go into a small room - turn left and go forward along the pipe, at the end you will see the scanner and the scientist's body. All you have to do is pick up the artifact.


You can get an artifact from the scanner: 💎 Ciliate.


[📍]ㅤRegion — Swamps
Overall, it's not a difficult and fairly quick location. The easiest way to get to the location is from the «Sultansk» camp. The scanner is on an island, which you can get to by jumping over almost flooded cars. Be careful, there are anomalies between the cars!


When you get to the island, kill 6-7 zombified stalkers and go forward along the railway. At the end of the railway, near the tree, you will see a scanner with an artifact.


From the scanner you can get an artifact: 💎 Crown.


[📍]ㅤRegion — Cooling Towers
To activate this scanner, you will have to try and arm yourself. There are a large number of enemy groups and mutants in this location. The easiest way to get to the location is from the «Cement Factory» camp. The scanner is located on top of the construction crane?, near the «SKD Assembly Unit» location.


Find a ladder and climb it. Immediately after it there will be another one. Climb the stairs twice and turn right (there will be two electrical anomalies on the way). Jump to the other side and activate the scanner. After activating the scanner, a mutant will appear - an electric poltergeist. Kill him or simply take the artifact.


You can get an artifact from the scanner: 💎 Lantern.


[📍]ㅤRegion — Rostok
One of the fastest and most convenient finds. The scanner is located in the hangar, outside the camp «Rostok», so you can get to it very quickly. You can see a photo of the hangar below.


Entering the hangar, you will see another stalker launching the scanner. After launching the scanner, a bloodsucker will appear. You can help the stalker kill the mutant and then pick up the artifact.


You can get the artifact from the scanner: 💎 Dead sponge.


[📍]ㅤRegion — Chemical Plant
The next scanner is located in the «Chemical Plant» region, at the «Electrical Transformer On The Island» location. The fastest way to get to the location is from the «Rostok» camp.


When you find yourself there, go up the stairs and jump out the window. There will be our scanner on the roof. Please note that it can only be activated after ⌛️ 12 a.m. (00:00). Otherwise, like me, you will have to run several times and wait for hours.


There may be 2 bloodsuckers near the location. Closer to night, groups of snorks will visit the location. After activating the scanner, a mutant will appear - Bürer. You can kill him or simply take the artifact from the scanner.

You can get the artifact from the scanner: 💎 Petal.


[📍]ㅤRegion — Burnt Forest
This scanner will take longer than usual to get to. The nearest camps are «Zalissya» and «STC Malachite». I got to this region from the «STC Malachite» camp. The scanner is located in the «Burnt Forest» region, in the «Burning Rift» location. It's a bit difficult to spot.


When you activate the scanner, two mutants will appear - fire poltergeists. You can kill them or take the artifact and run away.


You can get an artifact from the scanner: 💎 Magma.


[📍]ㅤRegion — Yaniv
This scanner is located in the forest, on the border with the region «Red Forest», in the lower right corner (if you look at the map). If you haven't discovered this region and the base nearby yet - it is easier for you to get to this location from the camp «Rostok».


When you get to the clearing (without trees), you will see many bones of various animals. The scanner will be among them. After activating the scanner - chemical anomalies will appear, as well as three mutants: a boar, a pseudo-dog and a psi-deer. Fortunately, a group of stalkers was next to me - who helped deal with the deer.


You can get an artifact from the scanner: 💎 Devil’s Mushroom.


[📍]ㅤRegion — Jupiter
The penultimate scanner is located in the «Jupiter» region, at the location «Prypiat Substation». The fastest way to get to the location is from the «Yaniv Station» camp.


Upon arrival at the location, you will see the body of another stalker, as well as a scanner in the open area. After activation, electrical anomalies and two mutants - electropoltergeists - will appear. You can kill them or take the artifact and escape.


You can get an artifact from the scanner: 💎 Crest.


[📍]ㅤRegion — Prypiat
To find the last scanner, we go to the «Pripyat» region, to the «River Port» location. The fastest way to get to the location is from the «Enerhetyk Palace of Culture» camp.


When you are there, you will see a large building. You need the entrance to the first building (first, the more surviving one). Go inside, search and climb the ladder. Walk a little forward, turn around and climb again. On the roof, to the right, there will be a scanner.


After activating the scanner, a group of zombified stalkers will appear, and (personally for me) an enemy group has also appeared. You can slowly kill everyone and then pick up the artifact.

You can get the artifact from the scanner: 💎 Meat Lighter.

My bad, they're not random, the artifacts are really fixed. I made a mistake.

My pleasure :love_ua:

Oh yeah, collected artifacts are actually random btw.

BTDC, maybe it's bugged. If there's a save left before the last scanner, try loading and activating it. If that doesn't work, then try again with a new game, unfortunately.

I checked my journey over your descriptions (thank you) and I've got all the artifacts, still this achievement didn't unlock... well, maybe in another gameplay. Had no issues with other ones
