Hunting mutant bears in Roblox Medved requires identifying target attack patterns, selecting proper ranged weaponry, and managing environmental escape routes. Players explore a large snowy map created by the Roblox High IQ Society to track down different bear species, manage survival items, and complete objectives like bunker mysteries and wave defense events.
Surviving an encounter depends on recognizing how each bear moves and using terrain or shop items to neutralize threats before stamina runs out.
Bear Variants and Hunting Behaviors
Different Medved species possess distinct patrol areas, tracking behaviors, and stat profiles across the snowy terrain.
Regular Bear
The standard Bear is the most common mutant polar bear in the game. It features elongated rear limbs, dirty-brown paws, and a head with prominent teeth. Regular Bears primarily patrol the outer edges of the map. When approaching a player, distorted audio and dedicated chase music play to signal an active pursuit.
Using an item called the iPone causes the bear to become enraged. An enraged bear gains increased movement speed and hyper-focuses on the specific player responsible for the enragement until it secures a kill, after which it returns to a calm state.
Hunting and survival tactics:
- Break line of sight by retreating inside the Facility and exiting through an alternate doorway.
- Climb onto shop roofs, as standard bears cannot scale building roofs.
- Break sightlines behind trees to reset the chase meter.
- Consume Sodas to maintain stamina during extended pursuits on foot.
- Apply a Taser to immobilize the creature during an emergency.
Tall Bear
Also referred to as the Big Bear, the Tall Bear is the largest and fastest wild bear in the game, standing roughly 2.5 times the height of a Roblox avatar. It has beige fur, dirty-brown legs, blood across its mouth, and a dark circular patch on its torso. It is the only bear in the game that stands and moves upright on two legs.
Tall Bears are nocturnal creatures that prefer the night cycle and spawn far from the Facility, appearing more frequently around the Statue landmark. While they roam the map at a slow pace, their acceleration increases drastically upon spotting a target. Escaping or fighting a Tall Bear requires high mobility:
- Purchase a Speed Coil from the shop before venturing into deep wilderness zones or the Statue area.
- Activate the Speed Coil to sprint toward narrow shelters and structures where the bear cannot fit through the entrance.
- Use a Taser to stun the Tall Bear in order to reset distance if caught in the open.
Burrowing Bear
Introduced in the Revenge of the S.T.A.R. update, the Burrowing Bear is a rare quadrupedal mutant bear equipped with long sloth-like claws and standard Medved facial features. It has a base health pool of 300 HP.
Unlike wandering variants, the Burrowing Bear does not roam on the surface. When it detects a player, it burrows underground, tracks the targeted victim beneath the snow, and erupts directly underneath their feet to execute surprise attacks. Once the attack phase ends, it digs back down and relocates.
Grinder Bear Boss Mechanics
The Grinder Bear is a Monstrous boss added during the Star update. It is a mechanical monster built with a grey metallic frame, glowing white eyes, and a single heavy motorized wheel instead of legs. Players can purchase the Grinder Bear permanently in the shop for $125,000, but in wild encounters, it serves as the final wave boss during the "Bear Invasion (The bears are angry)" server event. Its arrival triggers heavy ambient audio and red warning text across the screen.
Grinder Bear Stats and Passives
The Grinder Bear features a boss pool of 2,000 HP and a constant chase speed of 22. Two primary passives dictate how damage must be applied:
- Boss Armor: Protects the boss against burst damage. Exceeding a specific damage-per-second threshold reduces subsequent damage per hit. Dealing steady, continuous damage yields higher efficiency than high-burst spikes.
- Indomitable: Grants 100% resistance to knockback and stuns. The Grinder Bear cannot be immobilized using a Taser.
Grinder Bear Skill Set
The boss features two robotic arms that swap between four firearm configurations, alongside mobility attacks:
- Fire: The basic multi-targeting attack. Both arms can independently target different players simultaneously, with a weapon swap lock of 2 seconds.
- Minigun: Fires a continuous barrage delivering 4 bullets at 40 damage per second for 4.5 seconds across a 160-stud range.
- Rockets: Launches 6 explosive projectiles dealing 80 damage each, flattening trees and knocking players back.
- Flamethrower: Emits fire dealing 24 heat damage per second, followed by a burning status effect of 8 damage per second lasting 5 seconds.
- Shotgun: Close-range blast discharging 8x15 pellets that inflict 8 damage per pellet and knock targets flat.
- Grinder Charge: Spins its wheel for 1.8 seconds, then dashes forward at speed 10 while maintaining weapon fire.
- Wheel Spin: Triggers automatically every 9 to 14 seconds when players enter close range. It produces a 30-stud shockwave dealing 40 melee damage, destroying nearby fences and doors.
Boss Battle Tactics
Melee combat against the Grinder Bear is fatal due to the area damage from rockets, shotguns, and the automated Wheel Spin shockwave.
Inside The Base, players utilize the "Locker Meta." Entering a locker prevents the boss's multi-targeting system from aiming at the hidden player, providing complete protection while regrouping. In open terrain, maintain distance beyond 30 studs to avoid structure-breaking shockwaves. Recommended armaments include steady ranged automatic weapons like the MAC-10 (uzi), standard pistols, shotguns from safe range, or high-tier heavy arms such as the minigun and flamethrower.

In addition to playing as a human hunter, players can become a playable bear by reaching prestige requirements or consuming a Bearshroom in-game.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can all bears in Medved be stunned with the Taser?
No. The Regular Bear and the Tall Bear are vulnerable to the Taser, allowing players to stun them and break away during chases. However, the Grinder Bear has the Indomitable passive, providing 100% stun immunity and complete resistance to the Taser.
What is the most effective survival strategy against the Grinder Bear inside The Base?
Hiding inside lockers serves as the primary defensive tactic. When inside a locker, the Grinder Bear's targeting array cannot lock onto you, letting you wait out dangerous attack rotations safely.
Where does the Tall Bear spawn most frequently?
The Tall Bear spawns far away from the main Facility, appearing during the night cycle with a higher frequency around the Statue landmark.
How does enraging a Regular Bear work?
Using an iPone enrages the regular bear, increasing its movement speed and locking its aggression onto the player who triggered it. The bear returns to its calm state once it kills a player.
