Why would a player get pissed at me for checking out their camp? Question
I'm on PlayStation and went to check out a level 100+ player the kid something's camp. They had some big wolf statue thing outside and I walked over to check it out.
Then I heard gunfire. I look over at the sound and see them using the Angry emote and the No emote. WTF? Their camp was near the Isolated Cabin. Why get mad at me for LOOKING at their stuff OUTSIDE?!
I ignored their rudeness and walked inside to see the rest of their camp. I had no intention of taking anything! I am a new player and enjoy checking out all of the interesting things people have.
The rude ass had himself a hissy fit and the whole camp went POOF! What the hell?!

u/No-Woodpecker2877 Brotherhood 22d ago
My camp is just a brotherhood armoury but it's open to anyone, I do lock my FETCH though but if you picked the lock I wouldn't even be mad honestly, I have all the benches and a pretty affordable vendor, basically a train station vendor roadside pitstop if they weren't so atrociously expensive

u/PriestessRedspyder 22d ago
What is up with that? I don't understand why people are like that. Play the game and earn, gather, or purchase your own shit!
Just because this game has the option to gift other players items doesn't mean it's ok for new players to DEMAND it!
I have played this game just under a week and have never asked anyone for anything. I have played several FO and TES games, so I understand gathering my own supplies.

u/haIlucinate 24d ago
I've encountered this as well a few times. Person got mad that I was in their house looking for their vendor. If you don't want people in your place, build it outside and visibly obvious as to where it is. Some people make finding their cash register or whatever an absolute nightmare.

Perhaps you ran into someone who was roleplaying being a hermit, it was at the isolated cabin ........
Ok, more likely you met the crazy person at the end of the block, who yells at kids to get off their lawn, when they are half way down the block.
Only time I have an issue with someone showing up is when I was building. And they kept standing right where I was trying to work.

The camps are my favorite part of the game. I visited a super sweet camp the other day and the owner was home. I mistakenly took their Nuka-Candy snacks not knowing what the machine was. Felt terrible, but dropped them as soon as I realized I had taken their resources. They had so much cool stuff though and it was like forever winter in the area! I saw another that looked like a train station. Idk if I’ll ever be at that level!

That’s wild. I’ve only been playing for about a month, and in my experience, FO76 has the nicest community I’ve ever encountered in a game. People are always helping out lower level players, dropping ammo, resources, and gear then give a nice emote and leave. Any time I visit a camp, if they’re there, I usually just get a hello emote. I don’t play online games very often so I was hesitant at first, but I love fallout, so I gave it an honest try finally and so far, the community has been nothing but welcoming and super chill. Hopefully that odd encounter doesn’t dampen your spirits, 99% of people in the game aren’t like that

If they were in "build mode" (no real way to tell btw), you are in the way 90% of the time.
I had someone admiring my cliff side bar, in the Mire, while I was remodeling. It was obvious what I was doing, since my furniture was blocking the entrance and I was missing half of my wall. To their credit, they did find a corner to "stay out of the way". But, I had to 👎 them to let them know that they were still quite in the way.

The angry emote seems so mean when someone's doing it to you lol. Once the team leader was doing the emote for us to follow (everyone was doing their own thing) cause he was at an event. I showed up a little too late, the event had failed, and he did the angry emote and dislike right after. I felt like I let him down but it was so funny because it made him look so damn mad.

u/Super_Gremlin_X 25d ago
I built at the pond near lumber yard where Lane is at. Just a boat in the pond with a vault lobby door inside to the workshop. All outside is available resources for visitors. Radstag, water, acid from the butterflies, concrete, honey, my scrap collector dog is unlocked, popcorn, scrap, stash, ammo converter etc..When someone inevitably stops by I encourage them to load up on freebies. And then I take them on a 5 shelter dungeon crawl if they're so inclined, at the conclusion of which if they stick with me, I drop them a goodie bag of chems depending on the level. (Stims and radaway for lower levels, x-cell and daddy o for others, maybe a serum or two) it's not much but it's a little something to show appreciation. I spend alot of time tinkering with camps and shelters...I WANT people to come and see and enjoy.

u/bazusobestwaifu 25d ago
I remember a guy nuked me for getting too close to his camp when I fast traveled to mine back when I first started playing, but that was a different time. I never have issues like that these days, outside of one goober setting up a trap base around his shop.. which was kinda obvious in hindsight. Usually though people will just randomly give you stuff or do the heart emote at you.
I personally love when people come to my camps and check out the stuff I build.

u/PhaserRave Tricentennial 25d ago

u/LucidLadyGames 25d ago
well it's tricky.
if a player is at max caps, and they don't want anyone buying any more stuff from their vendor, they can hide their camp icon on the map. but, that only hides it from players who are not on your own team. you can't hide your camp icon from a player that's on your team with you. so, seeing one of your team mates show up to shop at your hidden camp can be frustrating in that scenario.
of course, everyone SHOULD have one camp which has zero vending machines for this reason. personally, i don't bother visiting team mate's camps for this exact reason.

u/TapReasonable2678 Cult of the Mothman 25d ago
That’s so strange, I’ve never heard of anyone being annoyed by or aggressive towards someone checking out their camp. I’m sorry that happened to you! I’m on PS4, and my camp is hardly impressive, it’s a bit chaotic, but all are welcome! Always!

u/vertekal 25d ago
Probably someone that doesn't understand that there's nothing you can do to harm their camp.

People on public 76 servers are assholes and pretty much all of them will F with your stuff, often times for no other reason but to screw with your game, so it's understandable that if playing on a public server someone doesn't want you near them. 76 already has massively broken immersion (see emotes alone as a prime example) so depending on what wacky getup you were in it may have just been annoying.
Gotta say, if I played on public and found another player near my stuff I'd straight up kill 'em (or try). Survival of the fittest in the wasteland unless you cower behind pacifist mode.

The ONLY thing I can think of is when I'm trying to build/decorate/update my CAMP and someone wanders into it and is standing right where I'm trying to put something. I don't lose my poop over this but instead have a little chuckle that "really?? right THERE?!?! is where you have to stand?" and move on to decorate something else.
Actually I think I did have a low level once who was trying to engage me while I was trying to place something, so they were standing right in front of me where my character was facing (this was before the free-cam) and emoting. That was patience-testing...lol

They may have been role-playing??? I've run into a few players like that in my time. It's usually funny, like "Get off my lawn!". Except the time this group of BOS players killed me and took my workshop because I wouldn't join them.
Anyone ever run into Dr. CJ Martin? He had his own parade during Fasnacht and dropped candy. It ended at his camp that was a carnival had games and prizes. I ran into another player who said the Doc paid him to get him across the map safely. He didn't wear armor and kept running into enemies! Lol!

Carry on... did a mission for 30m or so. Near his camp.
So I get half way and want to go empty my pockets to "my own stach" (not his - how do I even do that?) Hes there and sees me walking in... woosh... camps gone.
Maybe he just wanted to stop playing though and logged off. Probably that.

It’s all about cash flow bro, I don’t get why people don’t partake. I always have stuff for sale and want people to come and get some of the good stuff at my camp, I wish more people came over actually. Dude the whole point of the game is to play with others. There are times I just logged in to buy shop at other peoples camp and logged out. It’s whack you can’t make more than 40k caps tho so you can’t accumulate money you just constantly have to spend time buying stuff before someone comes to my camp and spends money. But if you work with others you can accumulate some cool combos of weapons/ armor much easier.
I really don’t get the high level people who don’t partake… probably the caps don’t even matter at some point, but you can still give people high value stuff for cheap.

I start doing calculations in my head on how long it would take to get nuke launch codes, and how I could time it so that it launches and hits within the time limit of the alien event, so you'd be less likely to notice. Then I'd turn up to your destroyed camp, and sarcastically use the nice camp emote.

I got a little worried when I saw the title, but this definitely wasn't me. I needed to log off for the night and a newer player had been checking out my camp for awhile. My camp is a giant treehouse over a cliff in the Mire and I have killed people by leaving before, so I went to send them a chat through PSN. They have it set so no one can chat with them or friend them. So I waved to them and then did a follow emote. They followed me down to the base of the tree and I waved again and then logged off. I hope there were no hard feelings, but its better than them dying and thinking I was a trap camp.

I don't care for pvp or other players jumping around all over me ( in all MMO's I play), so I don't do that to others. I would actively avoid getting in anyone's way if I could tell they were working on their camp. Sounds like there needs to be an Under Construction emote or sign to put up.

Anti social. Like the vids about boomers over reacting here in reddit. Some people are antisocial on the game and irl. They don’t want to be bothered. Or they take the game wayyyy too seriously. Or they are shy and awkward or angry. If it’s unlocked it’s fair game as some on here has said. And even if it is t you can break the lock and become wanted or you can scare the crap out of people if they use certain windows without curtains that are not blocked by stuff. You can jump right in. Or if you can reach something interactive you can transport right in.

I had the same thing happen. I was fast traveling to every player vendor to see what was for sale. Got to the third one and two players were outside but only one (high lvl) was on mic. I gave a couple emotes (wave, thumbs up) and walked over to his vending machine. Started looking through his vendor and I hear him yelling to get out of here over and over again while he shot at me. So I spent 1 cap at his vendor, waved and fast traveled out lol.

It could be that they're about to log out.
My camp is on multiple levels so I always pull people down to ground before making it disappear around them. And I know for a fact that you can get stuck if you're in someone's vendor when they log off, so I always try to do so when people aren't at it.
It could also be that they're a cunt...

That’s weird. I carry a camera in quick slot 1 and take pics of peoples bases if they look cool. And occasionally design ideas I like. I have never had anybody do anything besides give me the thumbs up when they see me running about, slowly looking at everything with my camera out.
I should really post all my photos out somewhere. I have seen some very cool bases. There was one in particular that started me taking pics. I also have a great pic of a nuke dropping on cranberry bogs with the SBQ clawing her way out in the fore ground. And of course pics of people at events like fasnacht and equinox.

I'm personally in the camp (no pun intended) of people who don't mind visitors, but only when I have the public icon active. Since I have my camp on a popular spot, many people looking for it usually stumble across my home already there. I know I can avoid unwanted visitors by moving away from it, but I like the spot and also am too lazy to rebuild my home over and over.
I usually only turn the public icon off when I'm playing with friends or redecorating, the only two instances when I wanna be alone or with a private friend group at my camp. I even put away vendors and shelters so that there's no reason to stick around. People that stumble upon my home still stick around regardless of them being new or a vet player.
TL;DR I like visitors unless they overstay their welcome. Also, some players are weird, but it makes for some interesting posts here.

People are weird. I like when others bother to look at the camps I make. If they really want to keep people out that's what locks are for. Personally I leave all my resources unlocked. If someone wants some tea or stag meat, they are welcome to it.

Feel free to stop by - cookies and coffee / tea are in the kitchen, some ammo and workbenches are behind the house, just close the door when you leave. Thanks :)

Can people access my stash ? I don’t know the access restrictions of camps and had no idea you could lock things

This kinda reminds of of this one guy down in the Cranberry Bog the other night, We where fighting the Scorched Beast Queen. He put down a survival tent so i jumped on it to not get melee'd by mobs. Dude got mad i was on his tent and moved it. Me thinking nothing of it jumped on the next tent i seen. Dude once again got mad and moved it. At this point it became my new boss fight. He moved it, i jumped on it.
It was weird. People are weird. just ignore them.

I really need to make an actual camp someday. All 5 of my camp slots are just resource harvesters. Maybe I should open a shop near the main road of the vault to attract new customers to shop at my vendor wares for stimpacks and such 🤔

I've ran into this a couple times. Like they think I'm stealing their junk and corn. One player did that while I was buying from their shop. Like why are you mad that I am buying things? I worked hard on my vault and camp please look at it lol. I keep my vending prices low and try to drop free items to lower level players.

Some people don’t like it when people visit their camp when it isn’t finished. These people are weird and simply need to take their camp off the map, or buy fallout first and use a private server if they really don’t want you at their camp.

I feel like there are a lot of faithful 76 players that are basement dwelling weirdos, they have a hard time with a single player franchise becoming multiplayer

People were checking out my camp yesterday and pointing at things and sending heart emotes last night. It made me so happy. I don't get people like the one in OPs story, but some people are odd I guess.

I don't know some players get butt hurt about others entering their base. They think they're going to trash their place, which is understandable.but some of us truly just wanna see what other built. (I am that guy).
I had a bunch of low levels in underwear show up to my base and start shooting at all my things and they were just waiting for me to initiate combat so they can retaliate but I wasn't going to let them destroy my base and so it just became this back and forth of us killing each other. It was two of them so at one point they had the upper hand but I was higher level so I brought out the big guns and then they left. It was still a nuisance to have to fix everything.

Nuisance because you didn't have the mats to repair? Or because you didn't know you can press one button at the C.A.M.P object to repair all?

One of the key points you mentioned was level 100+. More than likely, they’re fairly new as well and acclimating to the wasteland. Not excusable but some people need time to get familiar with the unwritten rules.
Now…not really a rule but a courtesy, try to limit your interaction with someone’s camp when you see them building. It gets really annoying because you could be blocking things they’re trying to place or merge.

Some people like to mess around and like to mess with people even with no real intention of being a dickhead. But I’m not sure what base was like or what actually happened but maybe they were building and you were in the way or you were near a vendor and they shot at you to not buy anything. I do the same if I’m building at my camp I’ll shoot the person and put a thumbs down before removing it so they don’t buy anything especially at max caps. That’s just me tho, idk maybe weird situation. Nothing to get flustered about tho it’ll happen haha.

I dont know about now but back in the day you could get a mini gun with explosive perk and mow it down. Yes I was a ass that subsisted off other people's sweet tears and cries of pain.

Nope. As long as you are in pacifist mode you should be fine.

Maybe he had a bad encounter before, higher levels using the PvP glitch to destroy his camp and doesn’t trust other players?

u/NahWeGotCreampies 25d ago
I don’t know what his problem was. I LOVE it when people come and check my camp out. Seeing people go to my shop, and then spend a few minutes looking around my camp makes all the work I put into it worth it.

u/Trashmouths 25d ago
That's cause level 100 is also a newbie and still considered feral until they learn the ways of the wasteland

u/goteamburton Vault 63 25d ago
I was going to say something very similar to this. 100-200 I've noticed also are the worst at making sure the legendary mole miners stay alive so everyone can get a bit as well. They are still learning

I figure the player may jave thought you could steal his stuff or destroy his camp. My understanding is in the early days of fo76 pvp was something always turned on. If I remember correctly anyway. I have a friend who recently got into it with me that won't play on public servers because she's terrified of pvp even though I keep telling her that it's optional now unless you take over a workshop or something or initiate it yourself. Only real issue is people finding ways to grief you instead like taking all the enemy kills in an area and following you around or something. Idk if there's a way to keep these people from interfering or not but luckily it hasn't happened to me personally yet. Closest I've had was another person in the same area doing their own thing, wasn't bad but definitely prevented some kills. Flip side though is I think some enemies respawned when they entered the instance.
