How To Find the Trader in Garbage in Stalker 2

Navigating the Garbage Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

After exiting the Lesser Zone, your journey continues into the challenging Garbage area. Because of 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, 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.

Once these steps are completed, the game will direct you to the Slag Heap, located north of the laboratory. However, feel free to explore this area earlier if you wish. Within the Slag Heap, you'll find two valuable traders.

Boozer, situated conveniently at the entrance, runs the bar. He offers food and drinks but is also a willing buyer of various items you might want to sell.

Huron, the second trader, is found by heading left and then entering the open door on your right. He specializes in weapons and gear. His room also serves as your personal stash, allowing you to store extra belongings. Interacting with Huron can also initiate a side quest.

While not a trader, a Tech resides at the back of the left corridor in the Slag Heap. You'll inevitably meet him as he's crucial for progressing the main quest involving Diode.
