Quick Links
Journalist stashes in Stalker 2 are scattered across the map, with some areas holding multiple. One valuable stash, located within the car maze in the Garbage region, contains the powerful Tourist Suit body armor. Finding it, however, requires navigating a tricky location. This guide will show you how.
How to Get the Garbage Journalist Cache in Maze
To find this stash, head northwest from the Slag Heap towards the car maze. While the maze has multiple entrances, use the main entrance shown on the map above for easiest access.
Once inside, keep to the right until you reach a burned-out bus on its side. Look left; you'll see another bus, this one blue. Climb onto this bus to locate the stash. Descend on the opposite side and open it to claim the Tourist Suit Body Armor.
Is the Tourist Suit Body Armor Any Good?
The Tourist Suit is a top-tier early-to-mid-game armor piece in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. It provides excellent protection against thermal, electrical, and chemical hazards. Its standout features are its significant radiation and physical damage resistance, crucial for surviving harsh environments.
Beyond its defensive capabilities, the suit boosts stamina regeneration by 5%. This is a significant advantage, as stamina is vital for traversing the game's vast world on foot. Improved stamina regeneration allows for extended exploration.
While effective on its own, the Tourist Suit's potential is unlocked through upgrades. While Lens at Zalissya can't upgrade it, Diode at the Slag Heap possesses the necessary expertise. He can equip the suit with high-quality modifications, further enhancing its already impressive stats.
