Artifacts are a much better source of money, as is the campaign. They aren't worth much and need to be repaired before being sold anyway. Unload them for their ammo and drop them. Generally don't bother carrying enemy guns around.Good things to horde include ammo of all types, med-kits, bandages, anti-rads, food and energy drinks.The best artifacts usually are ones that's increase your radiation resist, carry weight and stamina recovery. If an artifact you want to use has a radiation penalty, make sure have one that adds radiation resist. Artifacts are very hit or miss as well.

The detector will point in their general direction but you have to find them. Artifacts now only spawn in the fixed anomaly locations around the map and can only be picked up with the detector out.

Spend some time figuring out how your anomaly detector works.

There aren't nearly as many as in previous games. Most aren't real hard and offer middling rewards. Since weapons can be repaired and modified though a good weapon can stick with you a long time.
