In Stalker 2, Journalist Stashes are scattered across various regions, with some areas boasting multiple stashes ripe for looting. One such stash in the Garbage Region is tucked away inside the Maze, a labyrinth of cars and trucks. This stash holds a powerful suit of armor, but reaching it can be tricky. This guide will show you how to navigate the Maze and claim your prize with ease.

How to Get the Garbage Journalist Cache in Maze

To reach the Journalist Stash in Stalker 2, head northwest from the Slag Heap towards the Car Maze. While there are several entrances to the maze, make sure to use the main entrance marked on the map for the best route.

Once inside the Maze, veer right until you come across a burned-up bus lying on its side. Look to your left, and you'll see another bus with a distinctive blue exterior. Climb atop this blue bus, and you'll spot the Maze Journalist Stash. Descend on the other side 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. What sets it apart are its exceptional radiation and physical protection capabilities, which are crucial for surviving in areas with high radiation levels and other damaging environments.

Beyond its defensive qualities, the Tourist Suit boosts your stamina regeneration rate by 5%. Stamina is vital in Stalker 2, as you'll be traversing the game world on foot. Enhanced stamina and regeneration allow for longer journeys, making exploration more manageable.

While the Tourist Suit is impressive on its own, you can enhance it further through upgrades. Although Lens at Zalissya can't upgrade this armor, Diode at Slag Heap can. With his superior skills, Diode can equip the suit with high-quality mods, significantly improving its attributes.
