Uncover the Garbage Trader's Secrets in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

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 time.

Stalker 2 Garbage Trader Locations

Initially, your quest markers won't directly lead you to the Slag Heap hub. Progressing the main storyline is necessary to officially access it. Completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest unlocks this location. This involves visiting the Detention Center and the Laboratory before interacting with Scar.

Upon completing this, the game will guide you to the Slag Heap, situated north of the laboratory. However, feel free to explore this area earlier. The Slag Heap houses two key traders:

• Boozer: Located at the entrance, Boozer runs the bar. He offers food and drinks, and is 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 extra items. Speaking with him also initiates a side quest.

While not a trader, a Tech resides at the back of the left corridor. You'll inevitably meet him as he's crucial for progressing the main questline through an interaction with Diode.
