Elektrozavodsk, "Elektro" for short, is a town located on the southern coast of Chernarus, east of Chernogorsk. Many building varieties can be found here, and it is a hub of activity due to both its size and its role as a spawn location.
The name is derived from "Electric/Industrial Factory" in Russian.
General
Well-known as a dangerous and gritty place, the city of Elektrozavodsk can be unforgiving. It is comprised mostly of multi-story buildings and complexes, resulting in short lines of sight and close-quarters encounters. As a large city, it also tends to spawn an equally large number of Infected. Extreme caution should be exercised at all times here, to say the least.
Everything a new survivor would need can be found here thanks to the wide variety and a sheer number of buildings. Nearby is a power plant that serves most of the region.
It is the namesake of the evacuation site just south-west of the church.
Threat Level
Being that Elektrozavodsk is a large city, it has a reasonably high level of risk associated with looting it. However, this risk is amplified by Elektrozavodsk being a spawn location, and a hub of travel for bandits and fresh spawns alike. This city is very desirable to loot due to the number of buildings and a variety of loot available. Thus making Elektrozavodsk a target of bandit activity. Players should be very careful when in and near Elektrozavodsk.
Power Plant
This plant is the only one of its kind in Chernarus, the electricity it produces travels all over the countryside via high-powered lines that pass between sub-stations and eventually make their way to end stations in various towns. The power lines can be used as navigational aid when traveling inland.
