Introduction
  • War Games contains 3 stages. Artifacts only appear in the 1st and 2nd Stage.
  • Each map from Stage 1 or 2 contains 5(4) Artifacts (For Difficulty Level 7-10).
  • All the maps from Stage 1 and 2 include Secrets, which provide extra Artifacts or RUs.
  • Each Fleet comes with 2 Artifacts, either used or unused.
  • Each objective in Stage 1 and 2 would grant 1 Artifact.
  • Each Artifact would provide 3 options to choose from.
    • If you have chosen Carrier Guardian Pattern, then there will be +1 option available.
    • For Difficulty Level 9 and 10, each Artifact only provides 2 options by default.

Any fleet comes with default Artifacts. For example, the Reconnaissance Fleet comes with a "Default Pop" artifact, which provides default fleet pop cap. The Strikecraft Fleet comes with the Recon "Ranger" Pattern and Interceptor "Brawler" Patter, which grants great bonus on their strikecrafts in the beginning.

A ship type, for example, Recon, can have two Patterns, each Pattern has three Upgrade to further the upgrade. In a Wargames run, for one ship type, only one Pattern can be chosen. And for that Pattern, the same Upgrade could randomly appear for as many time as possible (I once stacked the same upgrade for 5 times).

Artifact Effects
Due to the bad look and difficulty of editing using Steam Table, all the data are instead shared in
Google Sheet[docs.google.com].

You are very much welcomed to comment on any mistakes or ways to improve. Thanks!

Thanks Raethorne again. Will add it soon.

On stage 2, map 3 ("the orange hallway" as I call it) there are asteroids spread out on both sides of the corridor. Send a scout to each side, near the outer limits of the map, and one should find a "Suspicious Asteroid" that can be destroyed. An artifact spawns from its remains.

Thx Raethorne, will update accordingly.

On the ice field map (not the ice shelf, but the one with floating ice asteroids all around), if you look underneath of the platform where the "capture the spire" objective spawns, there are 2 cloaking generators. Kill them, and a carrier spawns by a dormant hyperspace gate nearby. Kill it, get an artifact.

Protip for anyone going for secrets and/or searching for future secrets.

Scouts + cloaked bombers are a great way to just go around the map and finding interesting things.
Keep out of engagement range with your scout, and just go in with the bomber to grab the artifact (you can capture the secret spires this way too).

Rule of thumb is that anything blue/yellow is an escort/capture secret, and anything red should be killed

Very nice guide, I found them each independently,
not more, not less, so hopefully we got em all.

Additionally, your labelled pictures are absolutely gorgeous

Hello. I'm linking your guide in my guide and would like to add you as a contributor.

Noted, thank you for the info!

Worthwhile noting that Tactical Bombers apply a debuff that causes its target to take 50% more incoming damage.
