How to Locate the Garbage Journalist Cache in the Maze

To find this stash, travel northwest from the Slag Heap towards the car maze. While multiple entrances exist, use the main entrance shown on the map above for easiest access.

Once inside the maze, proceed to the right until you encounter a wrecked bus on its side. Look to your left; you'll see another bus with a blue exterior. The stash is located atop this bus. Climb onto the bus, retrieve the Tourist Suit Body Armor from the stash, and exit on the opposite side.

Is the Tourist Suit Armor Worthwhile?

The Tourist Suit is a top-tier early-to-mid game armor piece in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. It provides excellent protection against thermal, electrical, and chemical hazards. Its key strengths are superior radiation and physical damage resistance, crucial for surviving harsh environments.

Beyond enhanced defense, it boasts a 5% stamina regeneration boost. Given the extensive exploration in Stalker 2, increased stamina and regeneration are invaluable for efficient travel.

While effective on its own, the Tourist Suit's potential is further unlocked through upgrades. While Lens at Zalissya cannot upgrade it, Diode at the Slag Heap possesses the necessary expertise. He can apply high-quality modifications to significantly enhance its protective capabilities.
