🐻 Appearance and Behavior
Bears are large, lumbering, and incredibly powerful animals. Their key characteristics are a massive health pool and devastatingly powerful melee attacks that can kill an unarmored player in just a few hits.
They are extremely territorial and will charge players on sight, proving much more durable and stronger than any wolf.
📍 Location
Bears are rare spawns compared to Wolves and are typically found in remote or high-value areas. They can be found roaming in mountainous regions or, more importantly, may serve as the primary guardian for a Cave where a missing child is held.
In these cases, the Bear is the "key holder" and must be defeated to obtain the Cave Key.
⚔️ Combat and Strategy
🎯 Combat Tips
- •Ranged Combat: Use firearms from a safe distance, as Bears can close gaps quickly and deal massive damage in melee range.
- •Traps: Placing Bear Traps before the fight can immobilize the Bear, allowing the player precious time to reload or land several free hits.
- •Loot: Defeating a Bear yields a large quantity of Raw Meat and the Bear Pelt, the most valuable trade commodity for the Pelt Trader.
🎯 Strategic Importance
🏹 Endgame Hunting Challenge
Hunting a Bear is a true test of a player's combat skill and gear, representing a high-risk, high-reward endgame activity.
🛡️ Key to Top-Tier Gear
The Bear Pelt is the key to unlocking the absolute best Items from the Pelt Trader, making the hunt a necessary task for players seeking to maximize their character's power.
🗝️ High-Stakes Guardian
When a Bear guards a Cave, it presents a major roadblock to progressing the main quest, forcing players to gear up and overcome a significant challenge to rescue the child within.

This guide saved my team! The medic rotation strategy is genius. We went from dying on night 20 to completing all 99 nights.

Same here! The key is having backup medics ready. Most teams don't think about this.

The spawn rate data is incredibly helpful. I've been focusing on abandoned buildings and found 3 bandages in one session!
