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.

Initially, your quest markers won't directly guide you to the Slag Heap hub. Progressing the main storyline is necessary to officially access it. Completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest unlocks the Slag Heap location, after visiting the Detention Center and Laboratory and meeting Scar.

However, feel free to explore the Slag Heap early; it's situated north of the laboratory. This hub features two valuable traders. Boozer, located near the entrance, runs the bar, selling food and drinks while also buying various items.

Huron, the second trader, is found to the left, through an open door on your right. He specializes in weapons and gear. His room also serves as your stash, a convenient location to store excess items. Interacting with Huron can also initiate a side quest.

While not a trader, a Tech resides at the back of the left corridor. You'll encounter him while progressing the main quest with Diode.

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