Ufa

Information on this page is accurate for version v.773 and can differ from the current info in v.806.

Details

Ufa (Уфа́) is the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan bordering the mountain ranges which serves as a divide between the different factions of the Ural-East. The closest survivor settlement near this irradiated city is Izhevsk and Magnitogorsk survivor base camps.

This city are amongst one of the hostile places in the current map due to the high level of radiation so make sure to plan ahead when visiting this location.

The Beehive

Ufa is known for its institute focusing on the study of bees, however after the nuclear bombardment, the local bees where exposed to heavy radiation which in turn mutated these species to bigger sizes. These monsters created a giant hive on the ruins of the institute, which is then managed by their matriarch, none other than Queen Bee.

The beehive structure consists of a 3 by 3 zones. At the center is where the Queen Bee and her offspring resides. The 8 surrounding cells in the building can be looted for Honey which will give you between 7-9 units.

Raiding Tips

The Queen and her Appendages are in a sleeping state when you enter combat and will all wake up when any of them is damaged. It is recommended to kill the toxic and soldier bees first, before attacking the sleeping bees.

Once you have defeated the awakened Queen, she will transform into a much more formidable version, however the Queen won't focus on attacking. She will create a swarm of bees by summoning them through the vents which cannot be destroyed. She will summon 1 type of bee for each turn.

Eliminate the Appendages first before fighting the transformed Queen as it can heal her if not taken down.

The fighting terrain is not very favourable unless you use an explosive weapon to tear them apart. If not, the Queen will avoid you and summon as much bees as she can to overwhelm and whittle your combat capabilities.
