There have always been bears up north on official servers.

Pay attention to your surroundings, especially sounds. Usually you will hear bears long before you can see them - or long before they can see you. They have very low awareness and can be easily avoided.

I would even argue that your hearing is your most important asset in DayZ. Turn that volume, UP.

Unless you have changed the wolf and bear territories like our server. :D

Bears can spawn anywhere, except towns.

Wolves can spawn anywhere, even the shore.

Given the large map and the very small increase in active wolves/bears you still don't run into them often - but it is new to keep an eye out even in between towns along the coast.

Generally if you do not injure the bear in any way they won't out right kill you. Now if you wake up before bleeding out, that's a different story.

Not 100% true. I've had bears chase me just for getting too close. But it seems they did change it recently so that even firing a weapon doesn't automatically make them run to you. A few patches back they would aggro off sound just like infected.
