The Wrenched is an artifact featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl.
Appearances[]
Shadow of Chernobyl[]
Located in the anomaly called "Vortex". When it touches the body it disseminates the directed of the radiation, protecting from scratches or wounds made by weapons. This artifact isn't hard to find, that's why they don't pay much for it.
― In-game description
The Wrenched increases rupture protection by 2%, but increases radiation by 5%. The bonus granted by the Wrenched is insignificant and it should be sold rather than used.
Locations[]
The Wrenched is a common artifact that may be found in gravitational anomaly clusters.
One is given as a reward for the optional mission Kill the "sales representative" provided by Sidorovich. Another one is given by Wolf upon completion of his optional mission Destroy the boar lair.
The artifact may be obtained from the following stashes:
- Cellar in the village
- Safe in the South pile
- Storage in the scrap metal yard.
- The extra cash is under the concrete blocks
- Under the bush by the wall x1
- Rotted log x1
- Secret stash
- The left-behind backpack x1
Clear Sky[]
This bizarrely-shaped artifact appears in places with increased gravitational activity. Acts as a kind of sponge that absorbs radioactive elements. In so doing, the artifact provides protection from outside radiation as well as from radioactive particles that have already made their way into the body.
― In-game description
The Wrenched returns as an uncommon artifact in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky. It provides now a -4 in radiation, making it very useful to use with other artifacts or to use instead of anti-rads.
Acquisition[]
It can be found in gravitational anomaly fields in the Dark Valley, Agroprom, Red Forest and the Army Warehouses.
Call of Pripyat[]
This bizarrely-shaped artifact appears in places with increased gravitational activity. Acting as a kind of sponge that absorbs radioactive elements, this artifact provides protection from outside radiation as well as from radioactive particles that have already made their way into the body.
― In-game description
The Wrenched returns in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, again as an uncommon artifact. Its effect was reduced to -3, making it less useful although a single Wrenched will suffice to counter the radiation of rare artifacts (usually +3), bar the unique Compass and the Heart of the Oasis (+4).
Acquisition[]
The Wrenched may be found in gravitational anomaly fields; the Caves under the burnt farmstead in Zaton spawn one by default.
The Wrenched is also sold by Beard once the player has completed the Compass mission.
Heart of Chornobyl[]
A common artifact found in gravitational anomalies. In extreme cold, the Wrenched is warm to the touch, while in high temperatures, it remains cool.

Trivia[]
- The code name for the artifact in the original trilogy, vyvert (Russian: выверт), is "twist" in Russian.
