Find the Trader Hidden in Garbage: Tips for Stalker 2 Explorers

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.

Stalker 2 Garbage Trader Locations

While you can explore the Slag Heap earlier (located north of the laboratory), it's officially accessible after completing the main quest. The Stalker 2 Garbage area features two key traders.

Boozer, located at the Slag Heap entrance, runs the bar. He offers food and drinks, but also accepts a wide variety of items for sale.

Another trader, Huron, is found to the left, entering the open door on your right. Huron specializes in weapons and gear. His room also houses your stash, providing convenient storage. Speaking with Huron also initiates a side quest.

While not a trader, a Tech is located at the back of the left corridor within the Slag Heap. You'll encounter him while speaking with Diode to advance the main quest.

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