Find Hidden Trader in Stalker 2: A Stealth Guide

Navigating the Garbage Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

After leaving the Lesser Zone, your journey continues into the sprawling Garbage area. Due to its distance from your starting base, encountering traders in this region will take some time.

Stalker 2 Garbage Trader Locations

Initially, your quest markers won't directly guide you to the Slag Heap, a key hub in the Garbage zone. Progressing the main storyline is necessary; completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest unlocks its location. This involves prior visits to the Detention Center and the Laboratory, followed by a meeting with Scar.

However, feel free to explore the Slag Heap earlier. Located north of the laboratory, it houses two valuable traders.

Boozer, situated near the entrance, runs a bar offering food and drinks. He's also a convenient vendor for selling your collected items. You can't miss him!

Huron, the second trader, is found by heading left and entering the open door on your right. He specializes in weapons and gear. His room also serves as your personal stash, allowing you to store extra items. Interacting with Huron also initiates a side quest.

While not a trader, a Tech resides at the back of the left corridor. You'll encounter him while progressing the main quest through interactions with Diode.

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