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 in this region takes time.

Stalker 2 Garbage Trader Locations

Following this, the game will direct you to the Slag Heap, situated north of the laboratory. However, exploration is encouraged; you can freely visit this hub early. Here, you'll find two key traders:

• Boozer: Located at the Slag Heap entrance, Boozer runs a bar, selling food and drinks while also buying various items. He's hard to miss.

• Huron: Found by heading left and entering the open door on your right, Huron specializes in weapons and gear. His room also serves as your stash location, allowing you to store extra items. Interacting with him also initiates a side quest.

While not a trader, a Tech is also present at the back of the left corridor in the Slag Heap. You'll need to speak with Diode here to advance the main quest.

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