Navigating the Garbage Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

After leaving the Lesser Zone, your journey continues into the sprawling Garbage area. Given the distance from your starting base, encountering traders will take time.

Initially, your quest markers won't directly guide 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 prior visits to the Detention Center and the Laboratory before meeting Scar.

Once these steps are completed, the game will direct you to the Slag Heap, situated north of the laboratory. However, feel free to explore it earlier. Two traders await:

Boozer: Located at the Slag Heap entrance, Boozer runs the bar, offering 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 stash, allowing you to store excess items. Interacting with Huron can also initiate a side quest.

While not a trader, a Tech resides at the back of the left corridor within the Slag Heap. You'll encounter him while progressing the main quest through interactions with Diode.

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