My go to is literally just outside the Spark base in Malachite. I farm there all the time. I've found two thundeberrys there, and I can run almost continuously and stamina recharges in seconds. It's completely changed how I play the game with two of them equipped.
Seems like Thunderberry progress locked: I spend 5 hours in three anomalies (Malachite 1hr, near Concrete Forest 1hr and this railway tunnel in the video for 3 hrs) before SIRCAA destruction, the top artifact I got was Crest with strong stamina and no thunderberry. Once past CIRCAA mission - plenty of Thunderberries. Compass is available from the very beginning: once you get modern detector (Bear?) you are ready to go. As for stacking: they're 10-15-20-25 weak/norm/strong/max with cap of 50 for stamina in sum. Having Crest and two Souls you'll achieve the same boost in stamina regen as with two Thunderberries with full regen time of ~ 3.5s (for 2,5 bars of stamina indicator).
I can confirm that this isn’t the case. I’ve currently only just got to the swamps and got the thunderberry on my fourth load at this location. I think it’s honestly just the luck of the day
@@joshcreed1417 swamps are mission away from SIRCAA. Maybe it's somewhat related with 1-2 missions before. I must admit that artifacts are definitely progress bound: when I started at 0% "do it all before scientists bunker at the Lesser Zone", mean escape not to the Lesser Zone, but to the Cordon, the artifacts in electras all weak, random, but weak (I got Bear detector from side mission near Duty). The same for gravitational anomalies. When I reached Garbage - Soul became available. Maybe it's also somewhat related to emissions and their numbers - open question.
@vsharun I got 2 thunderberry even before Zaton, 3d one after Zaton and I still didn't went to swamps. But I had the same thoughts about mission lock on other artifact that I was trying to farm for hours in different gravitational anomalies - compass. Maybe every new game, different artifacts are locked before some missions or maybe even they are locked dependent to amount of big regions opend on PDA.
@@loseergosum5341 ... or possibility of strong and maximum artifacts are multiplied by mission_number/max_missions -something coefficient, mean the p[ossibility is always here. Because close to the PNR legendary artifacts are so easy to catch while during first 10 missions - opposite. BTW I got Compass relatively easy just after leaving Lesser Zone in the anomaly nearby eastern checkpoint, and I must admit for 4th playthrough the same - I got Compass for far less efforts, while almost no chance for TB. Ultimately I end up with four double featured artifacts for the very beginning: 4x weak stamina + 4x weak phys = 40 stamina and 40 phys protection, while two compasses + two tb's = 50 for phys (2,5 bars in inventory) and 50 for stamina (maximum, capped at 50).
La thunderberry me ha salido a la primera en la anomalía eléctrica que está en la base de Malachite, hice 2 partidas y en ambas me salió al primer intento en esa base.
What is the best place to sell them when u get them. I have seen that u dont get the full amount when selling. I have see it where u get about 7k for the artifact.
Any merchant the reputation system is bugged so all merchants are the same but I need to look into it apparently a scientist sells for more in STC Malachite
@ I am new to the game I did not even know there was a rep for the merchants. I play on Xbox and I did not see that. I did at least get the diamond armor. When I get home from work tonight I was go to work on get the thunderberry. After that. Keep on trying that farm out.
The icon or symbol for the traders will turn green when you have a good reputation with them. I play on Xbox also and didn’t know how to check reputation but found out online.
@@GameWithDave so I tried to get the thunder berry from that place. I tried sleeping 3 times and I thought that would have been 3 days. But it did not rest the location for the artifact to come back. The artifact did not come back to that location. There was nothing there anymore.
Imo the thunder berry is the easiest artifact to get… I got about 5 of them somehow, in different locations. Haven’t been that lucky with any of the other artifacts
Thats odd, im 160 hours in now on 2 playthroughs and havent seen one yet. Ive gotton multiple Compass, and Hypercubes, but not a single Thunderberry. Guess everyone's luck is different
You need to wait three in game days and return or wait for an emission for the area to reset. Just make sure you are away from the area when sleeping in a bed good luck
Idk if this is true but I read online that you wanna be outside of 100 meters or so when you save bc going within that the game locks in what artifact you will get. Maybe Dave knows or could test this to help with farming artifacts, love the video

Yeah same two on always so much quicker getting anywhere now.
@GameWithDave plus you don't have to carry energy drinks and sausage. Saves a lot of weight.
How long does it take for artifacts to respond
@@oldeverwrym8329 3 in game days.
@@oldeverwrym8329 three days in game.
I wish it worked like in the previous stalker games where it also decreased how much stamina was used
I did it for 30 minutes and finally got one 😂 I was getting worried for a minute
Glad you got one 😀
If ever they remake Thomas the Tank Engine. Please narrate it! You sound like the original guy 😂 also subscribed!
Thank you for the sub and this comment made me laugh 😂😂😂👍

How many times you have to sleep to make 3 in gsme days go by?
Roughly ten times

The rep system can be bugged also but yeah the game does not really explain the systems well.

@@iznolife544 Can confirm this is true. I usually do the save 130m out. Works everytime.
Glad it works
is this patched?
No should still work
@GameWithDave i mean the quick save, go check the artifact and the load for different artifact
@@GameWithDave its dont work. i always getting same artifact
