Navigating the Garbage Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

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

Stalker 2 Garbage Trader Locations

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

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

• Huron: Found by heading left and entering the open door on your right, Huron specializes in weapons and gear. His room also serves as your personal stash, allowing you to store excess items. Interacting with Huron also triggers a side quest.

While not a trader, a Tech is also present in the Slag Heap, located at the back of the left corridor. You'll inevitably meet him as he's essential for progressing the main quest involving Diode.
