Quick Links
Journalist stashes in Stalker 2 are scattered throughout the game world, with some areas containing multiple stashes. One stash, located within the car maze in the Garbage region, holds valuable armor. This guide details how to easily access this stash.
How to Locate the Garbage Journalist Cache in the Maze
To find the Journalist Stash, travel northwest from the Slag Heap towards the car maze. While the maze has multiple entrances, use the main entrance (shown on the map above).
Proceed through the maze, keeping right until you reach a burnt-out bus on its side. Look to your left; you'll see another bus with a blue exterior. Climb onto this bus to locate the stash. Retrieve the Tourist Suit Body Armor from the stash.
Is the Tourist Suit Armor Effective?
The Tourist Suit is a valuable piece of early-to-mid game armor in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. It provides substantial protection against thermal, electrical, and chemical hazards. Its key advantages are excellent radiation and physical protection, mitigating significant damage.
Beyond its defensive capabilities, it also boosts stamina regeneration by 5%. Given the extensive foot travel in Stalker 2, improved stamina is crucial for efficient exploration.
While effective on its own, the Tourist Suit can be further enhanced through upgrades. While Lens at Zalissya cannot upgrade it, Diode at the Slag Heap possesses the necessary expertise and can apply high-quality modifications to significantly improve its attributes.
