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 will take some time.

Initially, your quest markers won't directly lead you to the Slag Heap hub. 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 accessible earlier if desired. Here you'll find two key traders:

  • Boozer: Located at the entrance, Boozer runs a bar, selling food and drinks while accepting various items for trade. He's hard to miss.
  • Huron: Found to the left, then through the open door on your right. Huron specializes in weapons and gear. His room also serves as your stash, offering convenient storage. Speaking with him initiates a side quest.

While not a trader, a Tech resides at the back of the left corridor. Interaction with him is crucial for advancing the main questline.
