Artifacts

Information

When looting an Artifact, it has a condition of 100%. Putting it into your Utility slot will start applying its effects. The only downside of it is, that you will slowly get radiation damage as a result. So keep some beverage at hand to remove it. In the case of Artifacts with an active component you have to use them from the Utility slot - just keep in mind that they apply a huge amount of radiation on usage!

Once an Artifact hits 0% condition, it falls apart. Higher Quality artifacts have a longer use-time.

You can decraft Artifacts with your Science skill. Each 10% remaining condition will give you 1 Artifact Fragment. So a fresh *normal* Artifact will give you 10 Artifact Fragments. 20 of which you can craft into a new random Artifact. Different Qualities further influence this number. So a Perfect Artifact will give you much more fragments, while a garbage one will give you much less.

You can also turn in one artifacts to the Stalker Faction in Oldtown, who will give you reputation and caps for them. The quality of the artifact is a key component in determining its worth.
