Mission Artifacts

Contents

Mission artifacts may either refer to artifacts that are rewarded during the process or to the subset that are required in order to complete missions.

Note: Where artifacts are upgrades to others, the listed stats are the final total stats, rather than the bonus.

Mission Rewarded

The following artifacts are acquired by completing specific missions. Some are provided randomly during the course of the mission, others are received per completion, while others may only be provided when a mission is totally completed.
