In Stalker 2, Journalist Stashes are cleverly hidden across various regions of the game map, offering valuable loot. One such stash, located in the Garbage Region, is nestled within the Car Maze, a labyrinth of vehicles. This guide will help you navigate this tricky area to secure a powerful suit of armor.

How to Get the Garbage Journalist Cache in Maze

To reach the Journalist Stash within the Car Maze, players should head northwest from the Slag Heap. Although the maze has multiple entrances, the key is to use the main entrance, which is clearly marked on the map.

Once inside, veer to the right until you come across a burned-out bus lying on its side. Look to your left, and you'll see another bus, this one with a distinctive blue exterior. Climb atop this blue bus, and you'll spot the Journalist Stash nearby. Descend on the opposite side of the bus and open the stash to claim the Tourist Suit Body Armor.

Is the Tourist Suit Body Armor Any Good?

The Tourist Suit is a top-tier choice for early to mid-game body armor in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. It provides solid protection against thermal, electrical, and chemical hazards. Its standout features include significant radiation and physical protection, essential for surviving the game's harsher environments.

Beyond its defensive capabilities, the suit boosts stamina regeneration by 5%, a crucial stat for players who need to traverse the expansive world on foot. Enhanced stamina ensures you can explore longer and more efficiently.

While the Tourist Suit excels in its base form, it can be further enhanced through upgrades. Although Lens at Zalissya cannot upgrade this armor, Diode at Slag Heap possesses the necessary skills. Visit him to equip the suit with high-quality mods, maximizing its potential and making it an even more formidable piece of gear.
