Where To Find Every Trader In Stalker 2: Heart Of Chornobyl

In the game Stalker 2, trading goods and equipping yourself is a crucial aspect of the gameplay. To make the most out of this, it’s essential to know the locations of the traders in each region, as these are the places where you can offload your accumulated loot. Some traders may be found only after completing certain quests, while others will be available from the very beginning of the game.

To ensure you get the specific weapon or item you require, it’s important to be aware that not every trader offers the same merchandise. So, knowing which one sells what can save you time and effort in your search.

Lesser Zone Trader Location

To locate the trader in the Lesser Zone, you should head towards Zalissya Bar, situated just a bit north of the zone. This settlement is accessible via your primary questline. Once there, you will find the trader stationed next to the Technician’s residence; he goes by the name Hamster.

Additionally, you’ll find a local tavern in the vicinity where the trader Warlock usually hangs out. This establishment offers a typical selection of items for sale, including edibles such as sausages and bread, along with beverages like Cossack vodka and energy drinks.

In the neighborhood, there’s a pub where you can encounter Warlock the trader. He stocks standard bar supplies, which include snacks like sausages and bread, plus beverages such as Cossack vodka and energy drinks.

As a gamer, I found out that if I mess up the “On The Edge” side quest during gameplay, the traders in Zalissya won’t be around anymore. This happens right after completing the main mission titled “Just Like the Good Old Days.

Garbage Trader Location

In the heart of the region lies a place known as Garbage, and within it, you’ll discover the first merchant. This merchant can be found in the Slag Heap, situated near the central area. To reach him, you’ll need to follow the main storyline missions. The merchant is named Huron, and upon entering the Slag Heap building from the front door, he’s located inside, specifically to your left, next to the bar.

The initial trader in the Garbage locale can be found nestled within the Slag Heap, which lies at the heart of the region. To find him, simply follow the main story quests. Once you arrive, look for a merchant named Huron who resides inside the Slag Heap building to your left as you enter through the front door, adjacent to the bar.

The Slag Heap is also home to the Trader Boozer, which sells your standard bar items.

In the town of Garbage, there’s a fellow named Bruiser who’s known to be affiliated with the outlaws. However, completing the mission to reach him has been experiencing technical difficulties.

Wild Island Trader Location

Unlike other technicians in the game area, the trader known as “Quiet” is accessible earlier than during the mission ‘Hot on the Trail.’ You can find him south of the Wild Island on the mainland, close to the submerged train cars that serve as a pathway to the island.

Completing the ‘Extreme Simplicity’ mission will mean you can no longer interact with the merchant on the Wild Island.

The dealer provides numerous mid-match weapon options, and there’s a storage container nearby for storing or retrieving items. However, what’s missing is a resting spot for the trader as the closest bed can be found on Wild Island, which is currently inaccessible due to being locked behind a mission.

Toward the closing stages of the game, you’ll gain access to Pripyat via the crucial storyline quest titled “The Road to the Foundation.” This mission will guide you to the Enerhetyk Cultural Center, a location where the trader known as Bison is stationed.
