Navigating the Garbage Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

After exiting the Lesser Zone, your journey continues to the Garbage area in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Due to the distance from your starting base, encountering traders in this region will take some time.

Stalker 2 Garbage Trader Locations

However, you can explore the Slag Heap, situated north of the laboratory, earlier in the game. 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, allowing you to store extra items. Interacting with Huron can also initiate a side quest.

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

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