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 takes time.
Trader Locations in the Garbage Area
However, you can explore the Slag Heap—located north of the laboratory—earlier. This hub features two valuable traders.
Boozer, situated near the entrance, runs a bar selling food and drinks. He's also a convenient vendor for selling your collected items.
Huron, located to the left and through an open door to your right, specializes in weapons and equipment. His room also serves as your stash, allowing you to store extra gear. Interacting with Huron also initiates a side quest.
While not a trader, a Tech is found at the back of the left corridor. You'll inevitably encounter him as he's crucial for progressing the main quest involving Diode.
