As the name of the game suggests, these non-human enemies that you’ll have to deal with are wolves. They prowl the Chernobyl battlegrounds while posing a threat to all players regardless of whether they’re opting for a slow and steady or loud and explosive style.
And where there is loot, there are wolves. The wolves appear on the map from the start with the better loot spots highlighted for players, but those will be the ones more heavily protected by the animals. The game’s Twitter account shared a quick tutorial on the wolves and how they’ll spawn around the more contested areas while providing some hints on how to combat them.
Learn more about the wolves in our latest gameplay featurette. Will you run? Or will you risk defending yourself, revealing your position and using up precious ammo?
