How To Find the Trader in Garbage in Stalker 2

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 will take time.

Stalker 2 Garbage Trader Locations

Initially, your quest markers won't directly lead you to the Slag Heap, a key hub in the Garbage zone. Progressing the main storyline is necessary; completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest unlocks its location. This involves visiting the Detention Center and Laboratory before meeting Scar.

Once these steps are complete, the game will guide you to the Slag Heap, situated north of the laboratory. However, you can explore it earlier if desired. Two traders reside here:

• Boozer: Located at the Slag Heap's entrance, Boozer runs a bar and offers food and drinks. He's also a convenient vendor for selling various items.

• Huron: Found to the left and through an open door on your right, Huron specializes in weapons and gear. His room also serves as your stash location, allowing you to store extra belongings. Interacting with Huron also triggers a side quest.

While not a trader, a Tech is located at the back of the left corridor. A conversation with him is crucial for advancing the main quest.

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