Pol Depot is a location in the northwest corner of STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl‘s Lesser Zone, and it is home to an Artifact. While players who explore the location are likely to pick that Artifact up on their detectors, they may be confused about how to reach it. This guide is here to alleviate that confusion, and it will help players get the Pol Depot Artifact in STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl.
The type of Artifact that spawns at Pol Depot is randomly selected from the pool of Artifacts that appear near electro anomalies. While players do not have direct control over exactly which type appears at Pol Depot, they can use an
Artifact farming strategy in
STALKER 2
to ultimately spawn one that is desirable.

STALKER 2: How to Get Pol Depot Artifact
STALKER 2 players who are trying to get the Artifact at Pol Depot should begin by navigating to the pipes that are southeast of the location’s four silos. Fans who follow these pipes eastward will eventually find that they end at the side of a hill, making it easy to get on top of them. For the sake of full clarity, the location of the ends of the pipes have been marked on the following maps.
After getting on top of the pipes, players should follow them westward until they can no longer proceed forward. Fans should then turn 90 degrees to their right, drop onto the pipes that are below them, and walk forward until there is a silo on the right. Players should then put away anything that they have in their hands, jump toward the ladder that is attached to the silo to grab it, and then climb to the top.
Players should now be on top of the southwestern silo, and the Pol Depot Artifact may be up there with them. Fans can zero in on the precise position of the Artifact with the help of their detectors, and they should use their bolts in STALKER 2 to temporarily clear electro anomalies while they search.
If, after thoroughly checking the roof of the southwest silo, the player has still not located the Pol Depot Artifact, they should use the ladder that they climbed previously to descend to the ground. STALKER fans should then walk around the perimeter of the silo, staying very close to its wall. Indeed, the Artifact will occasionally spawn on the ground near the silo, and it will appear when players are on top of its position.
Some players report that the Pol Depot Artifact has spawned
inside the southwest silo
, making it impossible for them to reach it. If a fan is facing that situation, it is recommended that they load a save from before entering the location and try again. Indeed, reloading may cause the Artifact to spawn in one of the two previously-detailed positions, both of which players can access.
