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 here takes time.
Stalker 2 Garbage Trader Locations
However, you can explore the Slag Heap earlier—it's situated north of the laboratory. This hub features two key traders.
Boozer, located at the entrance, runs the bar. He buys and sells a variety of goods, including food and drinks. You won't miss him.
Huron, found by heading left and entering the open door on your right, specializes in weapons and equipment. His room also serves as your stash location for 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. You'll need to speak with Diode here to advance the main quest.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is available now on Xbox and PC.
