How much Hp do they have.

Just how much HP do the polar bears have? I have the long bow with flint arrows and hit a polar bear 7 time's in the head each time was a crit of 380-470 damage, so let's average 360 each hit that's just over 2,500 in damage. Mr.Bear got stuck in my door way that's how I got to many shot's in but even then took out the door and wall in 2 hit's.

I am fine with a game being hard you don't want to face roll everything that's just no fun but when a polar bear kill's you in 2 hit's even with fur armor.

roughly 4200 to 5k+ (tested with rifle)

A low level polar bear can take a headshot with a rifle (3000 when stealthed)

and dies to a non stealthed headshot (another 1200)

higher levels take 3 shots.

Ok thanks for the info, will make it hard to get missions done.

my advice would be avoid them.

I speed run missions in the arctic semi frequently with just a bow and fur armour,
but I try my best NOT to fight the polar bears, and have a bedroll somewhat close incase the worst happens.

That's what I was trying to do made a small place for bed roll and camp fire but polar bear spawned and now path's right next to me so had to quit and start all over.

you can actually dodge their attack in the video i put up on how to dominate bears, basically run past their sides and they miss the swipe because they take wide swings and have a slow wind up.

The dodge tactic works for polar bears too. It may take a couple of arrows, but I downed 2 consecutive bears with just a longbow and flint arrows.

Sprint towards them, then add A or D last moment ?

I tried building a tower, stone floor on 8 stone pillars.
Then shoot down with compound bow/flint arrows.
Worked but took insane amount of shots, as you can’t hit head most time.
Can do only 2-3 like that before bow breaks.
And another time he rammed the tower so hard that i fell of.
(tower was still standing later with minimal damage)
So that is not a valid strategy.

Those things are really bad news for solo players.

well if you have access to stone building they are easy, just make a foundation & four doorwalls + knife them; with repairhammer you can just retake it (target building & press y) and use for next bear if needed.
