Garbage

Dominant factions in The Garbage include Duty and Free Stalkers.

The Train Hangar, located centrally and west of the main road, is safer than in previous versions of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chornobyl - Enhanced Edition. It is largely deserted, with other Stalkers observing from the Flea Market.

Find Butcher in the south-west corner of the Train Hangar. He offers goods, prices, and mini-quests. Two stash boxes are located just outside his room.

A bed is available in the sunken area in the north-east of the Train Hangar.

The Train Hangar can be used as a shelter from emissions. Stalkers refer to the Train Hangar as the 'depot'.

The Flea Market, located north and east of the main road, is a ruined building temporarily housing various Stalkers, including Duty soldiers. Minor treasures and quests may be found here, along with a single stash box.

Traders are located on the upper floors of the Flea Market.

A basement area on the east side of the Flea Market's main wall serves as an emission shelter.

The Checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) By Rostok, at the end of the main road, has a bed in the shed and an emission shelter. This location can be dangerous due to passing Bandits or nearby mutants.

The Vehicle Graveyard, south and west of the main road, contains decommissioned vehicles, two well-hidden burner Anomalies, and minor treasures.

A single stash box is located in the booth at the east end of the Vehicle Graveyard, useful for storing radioactive artefacts safely without a LLC (Long-Life Container).

The Slammer Anomaly is located beyond the western fences of the Vehicle Graveyard.

Butcher, a neutral trader at the Train Hangar, specializes in hunting equipment. He sells decent shotguns like the Remington or MP-153, and low-quality food.

Sell mutant body parts to Butcher for significant profit. Purchase his hunting knife as soon as possible to improve harvesting efficiency.

Butcher offers minor quests, usually local to The Garbage.

The trader at the Flea Market sells decent early-game gear and offers mini-quests. This trader is particularly useful for selling artefacts, as Butcher does not buy them, and transporting them to Cordon or Rostok is inconvenient.

Note that Ecologists pay more for artefacts, so save them for Yantar if possible.

There are two traders at the Flea Market, working in shifts: one on the top floor during the day, and another on the floor below by the stash box at night.

The Greek Fire Anomaly is south of the north-east passage to Dark Valley, featuring burners and springboards with nearby mutants and severe radiation.

The Hot Hind Anomaly is a small cluster of burners in a corner of the Vehicle Graveyard.

The Mauler Anomaly is north-east of the exit to Cordon and south of Witches' Jelly, characterized by vortexes and heavy radiation.

The Molten Lada Anomaly is a larger group of burners in the center of the Vehicle Graveyard.

The Push-Pull Anomaly is on the hill north of the Train Hangar, with springboards among the debris.

The Slammer Anomaly is west of the Vehicle Graveyard, partially blocking the path back to Cordon, and features springboard anomalies.

The Synapse Anomaly is located against the west edge of the map, south of... (source text incomplete).
