How To Find the Trader in Garbage in Stalker 2

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 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 this hub earlier. The Slag Heap houses two key traders:

Boozer: Located at the entrance, Boozer runs the bar, selling food and drinks while also buying various items. You can't miss him!
Huron: Found by heading left and entering the open door on your right, Huron specializes in weapons and gear. His room also serves as your stash, allowing you to store extra items. Speaking with Huron also initiates a side quest.

While not a trader, a Tech is also present in the Slag Heap, located at the end of the left corridor. You'll need to interact with him (Diode) to advance the main quest.

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