Stalker 2 Trader Location Guide

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 its distance from your starting base, accessing traders in this region will take time.

Stalker 2 Garbage Trader Locations

Initially, your quest markers won't directly lead you to the Slag Heap hub. Progressing the main storyline is necessary to officially reach it. Completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest unlocks the Slag Heap's location, after visiting the Detention Center and Laboratory, and meeting Scar.

However, you can explore the Slag Heap earlier—it's situated north of the laboratory. This hub features two valuable traders:

• Boozer: Located near the entrance, Boozer runs a bar selling food and drinks. He's also a convenient vendor for selling your collected items.

• Huron: Found to the left and through an open door, Huron specializes in weapons and gear. His room also serves as your personal stash. Interacting with him can also initiate a side quest.

While not a trader, a Tech is located at the back of the left corridor. You'll inevitably encounter him as he's crucial for progressing the main questline.
