In Stalker 2, Journalist Stashes are scattered across various regions on the map, with some areas boasting multiple stashes ripe for looting.

Fortunately, 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 secure the Journalist Stash in Stalker 2, players should head northwest from the Slag Heap towards the Car Maze. While there are multiple entrances to the maze, the main entrance, clearly marked on the map, is your best bet.

Once inside the Maze, veer right until you spot 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 find the Maze Journalist Stash waiting for you. Descend on the other side and open the stash to claim the coveted 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 prowess, the Tourist Suit also boosts your stamina regeneration rate by 5%. Stamina is a vital stat in Stalker 2, as you'll be traversing the game world on foot. Enhanced stamina and regeneration allow for longer, more efficient travel.

While the Tourist Suit is impressive on its own, it can be further enhanced through upgrades. Although Lens at Zalissya can't help with this particular suit, Diode at Slag Heap has the expertise to upgrade it with high-quality mods, significantly improving its attributes.
