Stalker 2 Heart Of Chornobyl Echo Detector Artifact: How to use
As discussed earlier, you’ll need to use the Echo Detector as part of the main storyline in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. You might already have it in your inventory and are just a bit confused about using it to locate the artifacts. Well, just follow the steps given below!
How to Use the Echo Detector
- Access Your Inventory: Start by opening your backpack, and scroll through your items to find the Echo Detector.
- Equip the Detector: Select the Echo Detector and assign it to your active equipment slot.
- Activating the Echo Detector: To activate the device, you will have to use the radial wheel menu. Again, press the corresponding key to do so. For example, holding the L1 on the Xbox controller will open up the radial menu.
- Look for the Echo Detector option: Select the Echo Detector, and once you’ve selected it, you’ll notice an indicator in the bottom-left corner of the screen prompting you to press a button to use the device. Doing so will bring up the detector interface.
- Search the artifacts: After selecting it from the radial menu, the device will not be equipped in your character’s left hand, all set to find artifacts!
And there you go; it is as simple as that. The only confusion that could arise here is regarding the controls. If you have remapped your controls, it may be worthwhile to quickly check which buttons have been mapped for the opening up of the backpack, radial menu, etc. With that in place, you are all set to use the Echo Detector in your missions and further progress!
