How To Find the Trader in Garbage in Stalker 2

Navigating the Garbage Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

Upon exiting the Lesser Zone, you'll enter the expansive Garbage area. Due to its distance from your starting base, encountering traders will take time.

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

Following this, the game will guide you to the Slag Heap, situated north of the laboratory. However, feel free to explore it earlier. Two traders reside here:

Boozer: Located at the entrance, this trader operates a bar, selling food and drinks while accepting various items for sale. He's hard to miss.
Huron: Found by heading left and entering the open door on your right. Huron specializes in weapons and gear. His room also houses your stash, and interacting with him initiates a side quest.

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

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