How To Find the Trader in Garbage in Stalker 2

Navigating the Garbage Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

After leaving the Lesser Zone, your journey continues into the challenging Garbage area. Due to its distance from your starting base, encountering traders will take time.

Initially, your quest markers won't directly guide you to the Slag Heap hub. Progressing the main storyline is key. Completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest unlocks this location. This involves visiting the Detention Center and the Laboratory before meeting Scar. However, feel free to explore the Slag Heap, situated north of the laboratory, earlier in the game.

Two traders await within the Slag Heap:

  • Boozer: Located at the entrance, Boozer runs the bar, offering food and drinks. He also buys a wide variety of items.
  • Huron: Found to the left and through an open door on your right, Huron specializes in weapons and equipment. His room also houses your stash, and interacting with him initiates a side quest.

While not a trader, Diode, a technician located at the back of the left corridor, is crucial for progressing the main quest.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is currently available on Xbox and PC.
