Navigating the Garbage Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

After leaving the Lesser Zone, your journey continues into the challenging Garbage area of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Due to the distance from your starting base, encountering traders will take some time.

Initially, your quest markers won't directly guide you to the Slag Heap hub. Progressing the main storyline is necessary; completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest unlocks this location. This involves visiting the Detention Center and Laboratory before meeting Scar.

Once these steps are complete, the game will direct you to the Slag Heap, located north of the laboratory. However, feel free to explore this area earlier. The Slag Heap houses two key traders:

Boozer: Found at the entrance, Boozer runs the bar, selling food and drinks while also buying various items. He's hard to miss!
Huron: Located to the left and through an open door on your right, Huron specializes in weapons and gear. His room also serves as your stash, allowing you to store extra items. Speaking with him can also initiate a side quest.

While not a trader, a Tech is also present at the back of the left corridor. Interaction with this Tech (Diode) is crucial for advancing the main quest.
