How To Find the Trader in Garbage in Stalker 2

Author : Allison Jan 20,2025

Navigating the Garbage Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

After leaving the Lesser Zone, your journey continues into the challenging 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 lead you to the Slag Heap hub. Progressing the main storyline is key; completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest unlocks this location. This involves visiting the Detention Center and Laboratory before meeting Scar.

Following this, the game will guide you to the Slag Heap, situated north of the laboratory. However, feel free to explore it earlier. Two traders await within:

Boozer: Located at the Slag Heap entrance, Boozer runs the bar, selling food and drink while also buying a variety of items. You can't miss him!
Huron: Found by heading left and entering the open door on your right, Huron specializes in weapons and gear. His room also houses your stash, providing a convenient storage location. Interacting with Huron also initiates a side quest.

While not a trader, a technician resides at the back of the left corridor. You'll inevitably meet him, as interacting with Diode is crucial for advancing the main quest.

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