Note: this page covers the Standalone version of DayZ; for information on the Mod, see Mod:Balota. Balota (Cyrillic: Балота) is a coastal town in Chernarus, next to which lies the Balota Airstrip. The name of the town is based off the Russian word for "swamp" (болота or bolota) and likely derives its name from the swamp located nearby, along the coast towards Komarovo.
General
Balota is a high traffic area due to the neighboring Airstrip, its proximity to Chernogorsk, and because the town is by the coast where new players may spawn. The town itself still has worthwhile loot, but no more or less so than any other similarly-sized coastal town.
Inside the town, a submachine gun is the optimal weapon to use because of its short range skirmishing potential. However, once inside the airfield or while approaching the town, a rifle mounted with a scope is going to offer players a bigger killing potential because most players are forced to run out in the open.
