The Artifact of Sacrifice is located in Magma Barracks. This map is one of the two possible maps during level four, the other map being the Hive Cluster. Also, within the Magma Barracks, there are two variants. You will either encounter the Direseeker who can be defeated to unlock the Miner, or you can find the Artifact of Sacrifice. If you do get the Artifact variant, then there is a small puzzle you need to solve to get the Artifact of Sacrifice.
You need to find three switches within the walls of the barracks and hit them to turn it on. You need to use survivors whose attacks can penetrate walls to reach the switch. Bandit’s Dynamite, Huntress’ Cluster Bomb, or Loader’s M440 Conduit are some attacks that can work here. Two of the switches are located on the upper portion of the map. One can be spotted directly on top left, while the other can be found on the top right, just below the topmost platform. The last switch can be found on the left side of the four pillars at the bottom.
While the top two switches are easy to reach, for the bottom switch you need to jump all the way down to the ground and keep afloat to hit the switch. If you have the Miner or Mercenary, then this would be easy to do. Otherwise you can use the hopoo feather or photon jetpack to stay afloat. You will know the switches are turned on if they turn red and look like they have been pushed in. Once that is done, make your way to the bottom left side to get the Artifact of Sacrifice.
