Artifact

Artifacts are rare objects and curiosities collected by Guardians. Unlike armor, class items, Shaders, and Ghost Shells, Artifacts do not alter the player's appearance in any way when equipped. Instead, their primary benefit lies in their ability to further boost the player's Intellect, Discipline, and Strength values. They also provide an additional method for the player to generate Orbs of Light; specific perks may generate an extra Orb if the player kills an enemy using elemental damage, or kills an enemy using a grenade.
