You can equip up to three Artifacts on a first playthrough. New Game+ opens a fourth slot, and crafted Artifacts carry over.

How Artifacts Work

Every Artifact starts as an Untapped Artifact you find in the world, then becomes an equippable passive modifier.

  1. Find the Untapped Artifact

    Untapped Artifacts come from exploration, quests, Resonants, vendors and rewards.

  2. Return to The Gap

    The Gap is where an Untapped Artifact can be turned into a usable one.

  3. Use Artifact Formation

    Artifact Formation turns the Untapped Artifact into its finished form.

  4. Craft the Artifact

    Provide the materials the formation asks for and craft it.

  5. Equip it in your Loadout

    While equipped, an Artifact is always on — or waits for its trigger.

Artifacts are passive modifiers, not consumables. Some work all the time, and some only while a condition is met.

Find an Artifact

Start from the problem you want to solve, not from an Artifact name.

Untapped Artifact Sources

Artifacts are not bought directly. You find the Untapped version first.

  • Exploration
  • Main Quest
  • Side Story
  • Resonant
  • Vendor
  • Progression Reward
  • Edition / Bonus

Per-Artifact sources are being verified against the production registry. Until they are published, use this list to know where Untapped Artifacts can come from.

Crafting Artifacts at The Gap

Untapped Artifacts become usable in The Gap.

  1. Find the Untapped Artifact in the world.
  2. Return to The Gap.
  3. Use Artifact Formation.
  4. Provide the required materials.
  5. Craft the Artifact.
  6. Equip it through your Loadout.
Materials

Artifact Formation consumes materials such as Echo and Source. Exact recipes and costs are being verified and are not shown yet.

Numbers are withheld until the crafting recipes are verified, so an outdated value never misleads you.

Effects, Triggers and Tradeoffs

Some Artifacts are unconditional. Others only work while a condition is met, and some trade a downside for their benefit.

Benefit

What the Artifact adds or improves while it is equipped.

Trigger

The condition that must be met for the effect to apply. “Always active” means no condition.

Tradeoff

The downside you accept in exchange. Some Artifacts have none.

A conditional Artifact is not weaker — it just asks you to play around its trigger.

When a tradeoff matters

A downside is only a problem if your build already depends on what it reduces. Check what the Artifact takes away as carefully as what it adds.

Artifact Slots and New Game+

You can equip a small number of Artifacts at once, so each slot is a real choice.

Three slots means you are choosing a role, not collecting stats.

Artifacts and Your Build

An Artifact is only useful if its trigger and effect fit the rest of your loadout.

Artifacts connect to your build through a trigger. A trigger can come from a combat event such as a Perfect Dodge, from a status your weapon applies, or from an ability your loadout uses.

Working from a current build?

Pick your weapon and abilities first, then find Artifacts that supply what they lack.

Best Artifacts and Builds

There is no single best Artifact. The best one depends on your trigger, your build and what you are willing to trade.

Because Artifacts are conditional and slot-limited, the useful question is which one fits your setup — not which one has the largest number.
