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 the distance from your starting base, encountering traders in this region will take some 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 to officially access this location. Completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest unlocks the Slag Heap's location. This involves prior visits to the Detention Center and the Laboratory before meeting Scar.

However, feel free to explore the Slag Heap ahead of the main quest. Located north of the laboratory, it houses two valuable traders.

Boozer, situated near the entrance, 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, specializes in weapons and gear. His room also serves as your personal stash, allowing you to store extra items. Interacting with Huron also initiates a side quest.

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

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