General

Like most other coastal locations, Balota is a valuable area for all kinds of Players to visit. This town hosts the Balota Airstrip (SWAF) and has a military camp at the east entrance, making it even more dangerous for Players. Balota is based off the Russian word for "swamp" (болота or bolota) and likely derives its name from the nearby swamp along the coast towards Komarovo.

Inside the town, the MP5-K is the optimal gun to use because of its short range skirmishing potential. However, once inside the airfield or while approaching the town, a Mosin 9130 mounted with a Long Range Scope is going to offer players a bigger killing potential because most players are forced to run out in the open. Players should also note that bandits sometimes hide in the military camp and wait for survivors to head into town by way of the road.
