How To Find the Trader in Garbage in Stalker 2

Navigating the Garbage Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

After exiting 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

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; specifically, completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest unlocks this location. This involves prior visits to the Detention Center and the Laboratory, before meeting Scar.

Upon completion, the game will direct you to the Slag Heap, situated north of the laboratory. However, feel free to explore this area earlier. The Slag Heap boasts two valuable traders:

• Boozer: Located at the 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 equipment. His room also serves as your personal stash, allowing you to store excess inventory. 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 inevitably meet him as he's crucial for progressing the main questline involving Diode.
