–Area Description

Overview

The area has a decent amount of hospital aides, patients and guards. The guards are armed with assault rifles and shotguns - being caught stealing or trespassing some areas in the first and second floor will render them hostile. They will patrol the hospital and constantly warn the player not to cause trouble. The nurses will administer free medicine and bandages to sick or wounded Characters, while the doctor will be expecting donations for the hospital. Sick and wounded Hospital patients will be sleeping in beds, or sitting/standing/walking around in the various rooms.

The hospital has several floors with only a few doors. As a result, Guards and other NPCs will have a large area of vision, which limits theft attempts.

Nurses

The nurses will administer free medications and bandages to any visiting character that is at least wounded or sick (slightly sick and slightly wounded won't be healed). Nurses provide better healing to severely wounded (and perhaps severely sick) survivors versus the survivors using their own supplies at the Shelter. For example, a nurse can heal a 'Severely Wounded' character for free; and when that character returns to the shelter they will have 'Slightly Wounded' status. This skips the 'Wounded' status entirely, healing 2 levels of damage. This is faster and more economic than using Bandages, which only provides 1 level of healing when combined with rest. Any administered Medications are high-quality as well- with a 100% chance of illness lowered by one level the next day.

Doctor (Sandu) Jefimow

The hospital doctor Sandu will ask for donations in the form of medicine or bandages, though it is still possible to make a bargain instead of giving charity. As the doctor expects this to be charity, trying to ask for a bargain will upset him and cause him to admonish your character. Trading medical supplies to the doctor will improve the mood of your survivors. This can only happen once.

Note that as the doctor expects this to be a charity, trying to trade for his items will be difficult, as he has an exorbitant trading rate. Thus, the City Hospital is not a great place to do trading, unless the player is very desperate for medical supplies and has more than one Character being severely sick or wounded, or is low on common items and has medical supplies to trade.

Guards

There are a total of 2 guards in the hospital. The first one stands guard at the entrance and has an assault rifle. The second is sleeping in a room at the top of the hospital and is holding a shotgun. The guards in the hospital are not inherently hostile, but will warn you not to cause any trouble. They will also patrol the hospital, making it difficult if the player wants to steal. On some levels, there are no doors at all, making it hard to hide from the large amount of people in the hospital.

If the character is in an unauthorized area, the guards will immediately be hostile and try to gun your character down. Entering the room on the far right side of the top floor will cause the guards to become hostile. Also, pulling out a weapon in front of any of the patients, nurses or guards for an extended period of time will cause the guards to shoot on sight.

Robbing the Hospital

If you want to steal the supplies from the Hospital, you would have kill the guards first, it is suggested to use a character like Roman or Arica. First, wait for the guard in the front to have a cigarette while he is facing the opposite direction, then pull out your weapon and backstab that guard. After you kill him, all of the supplies in the first floor is open for you to steal.

Now that you've killed the first guard the rest will be easy, have Roman or Arica kill the guard. If you have a knife or a hatchet, it would be very easy, then when you kill the guard on the top, you are free to loot every thing in the building.

It is suggested to bring someone that is slightly wounded if you're not using Arica, Roman or Boris. You will not be able to instakill with your backstab on the first guard, he will get you from "slightly wounded" to "wounded". The nurse would bandage you and in the next morning, you will recover. If you bring someone who is healthy, the guard would only bring your character to "slightly wounded" which is not a bad enough wound to have the nurse bandage you.

Note: No one would be alerted if you kill the guard in he first floor in a single backstab.

Shelling

A few days after your first visit to the hospital, subsequent revisits may reveal that the hospital has been shelled, and debris needs to be cleared. Several loot containers will spawn. A guard will ask you for your help to find and return any medical equipment found to the doctor. You can choose to keep these medical equipment or to give it in.

If the player did not loot the top floor room prior to the shelling event, then debris will block the area and there will be no way to access the loot containers there.

Trivia

• The guard at the front door is considered an innocent civilian and will lower your group's morale if killed.
• This map will always appear on every playthrough. It shares this trait with the Military Outpost.

Bugs

• Only trade counts as charity. Making a donation (giving away goods for free) to the doctor doesn't improve the group's mood as it's supposed to.
