Discover Hidden Trader Amidst Ruins in 'Stalker 2'

Navigating the Garbage Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

After exiting the Lesser Zone, your journey continues into the sprawling Garbage area. Given the distance from your starting base, encountering traders in this region will take some time.

Initially, your quest markers won't directly guide you to the Slag Heap, a key hub in the Garbage zone. Progressing the main storyline is necessary to officially reach it. Completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest unlocks the Slag Heap's location. This involves prior visits to the Detention Center and the Laboratory before meeting Scar.

However, you can explore the Slag Heap early; it's situated north of the laboratory. This hub features two valuable traders.

Boozer, located at the entrance (you can't miss him!), runs the bar. He sells food and drinks but also accepts a wide variety of items for sale.

Huron, the second trader, is found by heading left and entering the open door on your right. He specializes in weapons and gear. His room also houses your stash, a convenient location for storing excess items. Interacting with Huron also triggers a side quest.

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

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