The artifacts don't really make the game harder. In my opinion a run without artifacts is harder than with all artifacts lol. Only artifact that only does harm and increase difficulty only is Spite, where the bombs just damage you and not others. People typically think distortion as the worst but I really like it, it gives a cd reduction time on your abilities. Thankfully for mercenary he doesn't rely on just one skill, unlike let's say sniper. If sniper cant reload then have fun running for a minute for a chance to just get your reload locked. Luckily with mercenary you can depend on any of the skills (except basic attack imo) to get you out of a situation.
