Stalker 2: How to get the Weird Water artifact
Inventory size/being encumbered was one of my main issues in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. You carry 2 weapons, a pistol, med packs, a bit of food, and ammunition, and you’re already slowing down.
Probably the single best solution to tackle this, is to get the Weird Water artifact, which will increase your carry weight by an incredible 40kg. It’s a bit tricky to get it, but not too difficult altogether.
It can be found in the Wandering Lights anomalous area in Zaton, but only at night (roughly after 22:00). The tricky part is that you will be looking for it entirely in the dark and your detector won’t help, leaving you almost blind.
However, it has three spawn locations, which you can check out one by one until you found your precious artifact. See GosuNoob’s video (invidious link) for reference, and where to they are located (I’m not entirely sure whether posting screenshot might be a copyright issue, hence the link to the video with all three locations).
