Artifacts in Jump Space provide temporary passive bonuses to your ship during missions. Unlike permanent ship components, these items require strategic management, including knowing when to swap or remove them.
How to Remove Artifacts
- Return to your hangar between missions.
- Interact with your ship’s artifact slots and select the one to uninstall.
- The freed slot can then be used for new artifacts during subsequent runs.
Important: Artifacts are automatically cleared at the end of every mission, regardless of whether you manually remove them. Mid-mission removal is only useful for adapting to immediate challenges or testing builds.
Artifact Mechanics
- Effects include boosts to shields, resource gains, or system performance.
- Instantly activate when collected but occupy limited slots.
- Optimizing these slots is critical—replace weaker artifacts with stronger ones as you progress.

Post-Mission Reset
- Artifacts do not persist after missions. For long-term progression, focus on upgrading permanent ship parts like turrets and reactors.
- Use credits to enhance these components in your hangar.
These items encourage experimentation with playstyles during individual runs, rather than offering lasting advantages.
