Navigating the Garbage Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

After leaving the Lesser Zone, your journey continues into the sprawling 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 unlock this location. Completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest reveals the Slag Heap's location. This involves prior visits to the Detention Center and the Laboratory before meeting Scar.

The Slag Heap, situated north of the laboratory, can be explored earlier if desired. This hub features two key traders.

Boozer, located at the entrance, runs the bar. He offers food and drinks, and is also a buyer for various items you wish to sell. You can't miss him!

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

While not a trader, a Tech is located at the back of the left corridor. You'll encounter him as he's crucial for advancing the main questline (interacting with Diode).

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