Quick Links
Journalist stashes in Stalker 2 are scattered across various in-game regions, some containing multiple stashes. One such stash, located within the car maze in the Garbage region, holds a valuable suit of armor. This guide details how to easily access this hard-to-reach location.
How to Locate the Garbage Journalist Cache in the Maze
To find this stash, travel northwest from the Slag Heap towards the car maze. While the maze has multiple entrances, use the main entrance indicated on the map above for easiest access.
Once inside, proceed to the right until you reach a wrecked bus lying on its side. Look to your left; you'll see another bus with a blue exterior. Climb onto this bus to locate the stash. Descend on the opposite side and open the container to acquire the Tourist Suit Body Armor.
Is the Tourist Suit Body Armor Worth It?
The Tourist Suit is a highly effective piece of early-to-mid game body armor in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. It provides substantial protection against thermal, electrical, and chemical hazards. Its key strengths are its exceptional radiation and physical damage resistance, making it invaluable in hazardous environments.
Beyond enhanced defense, it also boosts stamina regeneration by 5%. Given the extensive exploration in Stalker 2, improved stamina and regeneration are crucial for efficient traversal.
While the Tourist Suit is excellent in its base form, further enhancements are possible. While Lens at Zalissya can't upgrade it, Diode at the Slag Heap possesses the necessary expertise to apply high-quality modifications, significantly improving its protective capabilities.
