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.

The main storyline initially guides you elsewhere. To access the Slag Heap hub, you'll need to progress through the main questline, specifically completing "Answers Come at a Price." This involves visiting the Detention Center and the Laboratory before meeting Scar. Upon completion, the game will mark the Slag Heap's location on your map. However, you can explore the Slag Heap (situated north of the laboratory) earlier if desired.

Two key traders await within the Stalker 2 Garbage area:

  • 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 to the left of the entrance, then through the open door on your right. Huron specializes in weapons and equipment. His room also serves as your stash location, allowing you to store extra items. Interacting with Huron also triggers a side quest.

While not a trader, a technician resides at the back of the left corridor in the Slag Heap. You'll inevitably encounter him, as interacting with Diode is crucial for main quest progression.

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