This comprehensive guide will list all Spinner artifacts in STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl and where to find them in The Zone.
Spinner artifacts in STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl are unique items you can find in the game. They usually spawn near thermal anomalies in The Zone and offer effects that can help you survive the harsh wasteland. You will need a detector to locate these unique artifacts. The higher the grade of your detector, the more efficient it will be at locating artifacts near anomalies.
Do note that spinner artifacts provide weak status effects. However, if you obtain better artifacts later, you can trade those for a decent amount of Coupons, the game’s main currency.
This list will cover the locations of all Spinner artifacts in STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl. We’ll also explain where to find them and what status effects they provide. So, pull out your detectors and start exploring The Zone.

Shopping Mall
Head to Pripyat’s Shopping Mall and make your way up to the second floor using the exposed staircase. Use your detector to find thermal anomalies.
School Stadium (Pripyat)
You can find the School Stadium in Pripyat. Just outside the School Stadium, you can find thermal anomalies that may have Spinner artifacts. The area is small, so you won’t need to go far just to search for anomalies.
Bog Poppers
You can find these anomalies just east of Yaniv. Be careful, as they emit a glow similar to flashbangs, which can be disorienting. They will strain your eyes if you’re not prepared. Keep moving and try not to stare at it too long, and you’ll be fine.
Witch’s Circle
The Witch’s Circle is just southwest of the Red Forest Zone. You can also find the Thunderberry Artifact here, which is a legendary tier artifact.
Yantar Production Complex
Head to the center of the pool and you may find a Spinner artifact there. The artifact that spawns in the area is randomized.
Brain Scorcher
Just north of the Malachite Base is the Brain Scorcher. You can find a lot of thermal anomalies in the area, which also makes it very dangerous. Try not to stay too long, or you might get overwhelmed.
Ahrophrom Factory
You can find the Ahrophrom Factory north of the Chemical Plant. You have the best chance of finding thermal anomalies and getting Spinner artifacts on the rooftops. Find a ladder, climb up, and then use your detector to find them.
Conflagration
Conflagration is just north of the Burnt Forest. Make sure to equip heat resistant gears before entering this region.
Burning Rift
Just a short distance away as you move southwest of Conflagration, you can find the Burning Rift. Use a detector to locate thermal anomalies and find a Spinner artifact.
Helicopter Base
You can find the Helicopter Base on the western edge of the Burn Forest region. Proceed with caution, as the area is filled with thermal and acid anomalies.
School Stadium (Duga)
This area is located a short distance away from the Helicopter Base. Similar to the School Stadium in Pripyat, you can find anomalies by exploring the area with a detector in hand.
Burning Fire Depot
This area is located west of the Cooling Towers. It burns eternally due to thermal anomalies.
Fire Whirl
You can find the Fire Whirl northeast of the Cooling Towers. The place has a long swirling flame caused by thermal anomalies in the area.
Hell
This is a street just outside the Cooling Towers. You can find many thermal anomalies in this area, making it a great place to farm for Spinner artifacts.
The Brood
You can find The Brood just northwest of the Garbage region. It’s a decent site for farming artifacts.
Burner
These anomalies appear as small bursts of flames on the ground and can be found in multiple locations in the Garbage and Lesser Zone regions. While out exploring other key locations for Spinner artifacts, be on the lookout for Burners.
Detention Center
On the southeastern border of the Garbage region, you can find the Detention Center. There are thermal anomalies in the building’s basement. However, you’ll need to progress through the story and obtain the key to unlock access to the room.
Magnetic Cave
You can find the Magnetic Cave just northwest of the center of the Lesser Zone. Head inside and use your detector to find thermal anomalies for Spinner artifacts in STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl.
Cave Network
You can find the Cave Network to the northeast of Icarus in Zaton. Make sure you are properly equipped before entering the cave as there won’t be much space to run around when you encounter anomalies.
Boiler
The Boiler has a lot of small craters that give the appearance of a maze. You can find it just west of the Cave Network.
Circus
Head to the southeastern edge of the Zaton region, and you will find the Circus. Be careful as there are anomalies that can explode in this area.
Burnt Farmstead
A few steps away from the Circus, you can find the Burnt Farmstead. The area is not that big, so you can walk around the area with your detector to find thermal anomalies for Spinner artifacts in STALKER 2.
Fishing Hamlet
Just southeast of the Burnt Farmstead, you can find the Fishing Hamlet. Inside is an anomaly that can strain your eyes if you’re not prepared. Keep moving and dodge its attacks. Don’t stare at it for too long.
