Navigating the Garbage Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl
After exiting the Lesser Zone, your journey continues into the expansive Garbage area. Due to the distance from your starting base, encountering traders in this region will take time.
Stalker 2 Garbage Trader Locations

Progressing the main storyline is necessary; completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest unlocks its location. This involves visiting the Detention Center and the Laboratory before meeting Scar.
The Slag Heap, situated north of the laboratory, is then revealed. However, feel free to explore it earlier. This hub features two key traders:
- Boozer: Located at the entrance, Boozer runs the bar, selling food and drinks while accepting various trade goods. 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 serves as your stash, allowing you to store extra items. Interacting with him initiates a side quest.
While not a trader, a Tech is also present at the back of the left corridor. A conversation with him is crucial for advancing the main quest.
