Uncover the Enigmatic Trader Hidden in Stalker 2's Wasteland

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 its distance from your starting base, encountering traders will take time.

Initially, your quest markers won't directly lead 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 its location. This involves prior visits to the Detention Center and the Laboratory, culminating in a meeting with Scar.

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

  • Boozer: Located at the Slag Heap entrance, Boozer runs a bar, selling food and drinks while also accepting a wide variety of trade goods. He's hard to miss.

  • 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 stash, allowing you to store excess items. Interacting with Huron also initiates 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.
