How To Find the Trader in Garbage in Stalker 2

Navigate the Wasteland: Finding Traders in Stalker 2's Garbage Zone

After leaving the Lesser Zone, your journey continues into the challenging Garbage area in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Due to the distance from your starting base, encountering traders will take some time.

Stalker 2 Garbage Trader Locations

Initially, your quest markers won't directly guide you to the Slag Heap, a key hub in the Garbage zone. Progressing the main storyline is necessary; completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest unlocks this location. This involves visiting the Detention Center and the Laboratory before meeting Scar.

Following this, the game will direct you to the Slag Heap, situated north of the laboratory. However, feel free to explore it earlier. Within this hub, you'll find two valuable traders:

• Boozer: Located at the Slag Heap's entrance, Boozer runs a bar and offers food and drinks. He's also a convenient vendor for selling your collected items.

• Huron: Head left from the entrance and through the open door to your right to find Huron. He specializes in weapons and gear, and his room also serves as your stash location for storing excess items. Interacting with Huron can also initiate a side quest.

While not a trader, Diode, a technician located at the back of the left corridor, is crucial for progressing the main quest.
