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 its distance from your starting base, encountering traders in this region will take some 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 to officially unlock this location. Completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest will reveal the Slag Heap's location after visiting the Detention Center and Laboratory, and meeting Scar.

However, you can explore the Slag Heap earlier – it's located north of the laboratory. This hub features 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, located to the left and through an open door, specializes in weapons and equipment. His room also serves as your stash, allowing you to store excess belongings. Interacting with Huron can even trigger a side quest.

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

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