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 expansive Garbage area. Due to the distance from your starting base, encountering traders in this region will take time.

Stalker 2 Garbage Trader Locations

Initially, your quest markers won't directly lead you to the Slag Heap hub. Progressing the main storyline is necessary to officially unlock this location. Completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest reveals 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 (north of the laboratory) at any point. This hub features two key traders:

• Boozer: Located at the entrance, Boozer runs the bar, selling food and drinks while also accepting various items for trade. He's easily found.

• Huron: Found to the left, then through the open door on your right, Huron specializes in weapons and gear. His room also serves as your stash, and interacting with him initiates a side quest.

While not a trader, a Tech resides at the back of the left corridor. You'll encounter him while progressing the main questline through Diode.

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