How To Find the Trader in Garbage in Stalker 2

Navigating the Garbage Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

After exiting the Lesser Zone, your journey continues into the challenging Garbage area. Due to the distance from your starting base, encountering traders in this region takes time.

Initially, your quest markers won't directly guide you to the Slag Heap hub. Progressing the main storyline is necessary; specifically, completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest unlocks this location. This involves visiting the Detention Center and the Laboratory before interacting with Scar. Upon completion, the game will pinpoint the Slag Heap's location, though you can explore it earlier—it's situated north of the laboratory.

The Slag Heap houses two key traders:

  • Boozer: Located at the entrance, Boozer runs the bar, selling food and drinks while accepting a wide variety of trade goods. He's hard to miss.

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

While not a trader, a Tech is also present in the Slag Heap, located at the back of the left corridor. You'll encounter him while progressing the main quest, interacting with Diode.

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