Reaching the Garbage zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl requires venturing far from your starting point. Accessing key traders within this area isn't immediate; story progression is necessary. The Slag Heap, a major hub, becomes accessible after completing the "Answers Come at a Price" quest. This involves visiting the Detention Center and the Laboratory before interacting with Scar. However, you can explore the Slag Heap, located north of the laboratory, earlier if desired.

The Slag Heap features two primary traders:

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

  • Huron: Found by heading left and entering the open door on your right, Huron specializes in weapons and equipment. His room also serves as your personal stash, allowing you to store excess items. Speaking with Huron can also initiate a side quest.

While not a trader, a crucial Tech character resides at the back of the left corridor. Interaction with this Tech, Diode, is essential for advancing the main storyline.

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