STALKER 2: Uncovering the Trader Hidden in the Rubble

Navigating the Garbage Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

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

Initially, your quest markers won't directly guide you to the Slag Heap hub. Progressing the main storyline is necessary to officially unlock this location. Completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest reveals the Slag Heap's location, requiring prior visits to the Detention Center and Laboratory, and a meeting with Scar.

However, you can explore the Slag Heap early; it's situated north of the laboratory. This hub features two key traders:

Boozer: Located at the entrance, Boozer runs the bar, selling food and drinks while also accepting various items for trade. He's hard to miss.
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 extra items. Interacting with Huron can also initiate 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 encounter him while progressing the main quest through interactions with Diode.

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