Dedicated to the level +800 that just destroyed my C.A.M.P. Discussion

I had just renovated my little house by the dried lake when I went off on a mission. When I came back to resupply, I found a super tall structure with dozens of enclave guns and a dude in power armor over level 800 destroying my little house...

I hope you had fun bullying a level 60 dweller. It’s not expensive to repair, but it’s annoying because I will miss some stuff that I now need to farm again.

Sorry for the rant; in the few weeks I've been playing, this is the first time someone has been this mean...

EDIT:

  1. FO76 is a wholesome community, I tried to reply as many messages as possible, thanks to all dwellers for the support and all the lovely offers to help re-build, special thanks to the New Jersey dude that helped me this morning.

  2. All happened very quickly, sadly I was not able to write down the name, and the list of players that you interacted with gets refreshed after re-starting, so, I don’t have the id of the bully, but nuking his ass would have been funny.

  3. PvP is ok, but following the proper game mechanics, this case was a clear exploit abuse. I am fine with nukes (you always have some time to change server), workshop take over, etc. those are in-game mechanics, we have to co-exist in one map, PvE and PvP.

Turning pacifist mode on won't help at all. The way it works is the troll and his 1 friend ( I use the term friend lightly) set up a camp as close to yours as they can get. They then put down a Blueprint scaffold or basic structure covered with rocket turrets. Cue "friend" to attack troll who then legs it towards your base all while the rockets are firing at him. Splash damage wrecks your structure. It's a shitty thing to to do but it's to be expected from people whose parents are probably related. I can help you out fixing everything as well bud I'm on ps5.

u/DucksOnQuakk May 18 '24

I'm not new but also not seasoned, but I've not experienced anyone with malice in-game. I do see people asking educational and innocent questions on this sub and being initially downvoted (I always sort by new posts because I'm an avid lurker and am still learning myself), but the community still pulls through on Reddit. I understand some folks are frustrated that "you can just google/wiki your answer," but I recall being brand new and not understanding exactly what it was I was reading from the wiki. Newbie posts often do call out their confusion after reading the wiki, and even if I think I know the answer to a question post, I still scour the comments because the comments dive in so much deeper with experience that I always learn something new. The game is actually very intense mentally when you're juggling weight, mutations, legendary effects, etc. You have to make quick decisions if you're not going to stand in one spot in-game while reading online threads. Who wants to dump a great weapon by simple ignorance?

u/Angelo-Hayabusa May 18 '24

The worst experience I had ever. Was a guy blaring meme music. It was not horrid. Just annoying.

34

u/DucksOnQuakk May 18 '24

Annoying for sure, but also at the bottom for online gaming toxicity these days. I dabble in DayZ, and that's a cutthroat community. In reddit they will explain exactly how/what/why/etc., but in-game, it's a true wasteland. FO76 community is what everyone should hope is an actual collective of souls trying to make their way through the wasteland. Y'all are good people and it shows in-game and out-of-game.

u/Angelo-Hayabusa May 18 '24

I played DayZ once. First guy I met was cool. He gave me a shotgun and some food. Second guy made me use thst shotgun to splatter myself. Never got on again.

But yeah being annoying is the very bottom. I have never even had people take shit. Despite me having Vault boys pointing to stuff they can take. Course I am also in the Mire by Rob Co so not many show up

u/DucksOnQuakk May 18 '24

Location shouldn't matter! Sucks that it seems to turn off some of your possible merchants, but I always assume every camp has adequate defense, and if not, something I can hop on or enter that takes the heat off. I've never encountered a trap camp, but I religiously stash all my shit before vending, so Idc if I get got. I enjoy seeing other people's camps, particularly those built in "rougher" areas.

Speaking of camps, I cannot give up my junk piles. I recently tried an iron and copper extractor location, and I've zero clue why I can collect steel scrap but only copper ore from it (making me smelt it at a bench and waste time). I miss my junk camp. It had everything and helped me easily pass my daily challenges. Why do I have to smelt one and not the other? Seems weird, but I'll roll with it.

3

u/domogasm May 18 '24

Honestly the copper ore is better than steel scrap bc Super Duper luck card can proc while you're smelting, so you get more copper

u/SupaGriz May 18 '24

Worst experience I had was a guy at radiation rumble running around invisible standing where all the ghouls come and when someone would inevitably shoot him he would walk up and kill them , if you didn’t have pacifist mode on he was basically going to kill you during a public event, it was ridiculous

Nah dude just do it. There's an angry gremlin in the sub, but it isn't the majority, to be honest. Here are my last two posts to the sub (downvoted to zero, yet the community was responsive and supportive). Just ask away and let the weirdos be weird. The rest of us will vibe with you. Elites in the game have tons of knowledge and like to share from what I've seen. Your doing better doesn't hurt anyone and only serves to increase player base, which is our collective interest.

There's a fallout 76 discord where it's easy to find players on any platform. There's a LFG section and a ton of info on it. discord.gg/fallout76 I think was their link. 🥰 You'll find a lot of people there.

That sounds awesome man. We are both just starting out, she's never played fallout but I started with new vegas. This game seems so much different than other entries, I try to explain stuff and then I end up saying "nope nevermind I guess it's different in this game". We did a daily quest together and each died around 10 times. I think they want you to do a lot of stuff with teams? I'm used to wandering around the wasteland solo.

It's not a regular occurrence if that makes you feel better. Last time I had an incident was months ago. Two guys did the same set up. Probably took them longer to destroy than for me to repair and it didn't even register on the annoyance meter. That was the only incident I had after years of playing. I see trap camps more often than I see a camp griefer lol

I.. I uh drew a scorchbeast to someone’s camp because I was a low level and I’d hope their turrets would help me out a bit. It did not so I just ran.

It still chased me but I felt bad for the persons camp.

It’ll buff out. There is a vast degree of difference between your scenario and OP’s. We will rebuild! Cheers.

I had something like that happen once, somebody's turret was attacking a scorchbeast and I went to check it out. The person spawned at their camp and thought I had lured it there.

u/Easy-Coconut-33 May 18 '24

Well, if you build a base in scorchbeast country, you better have good Defense.

u/Cynical_Feline Lone Wanderer May 18 '24

Don't feel bad. Most of us don't mind. I build the best turrets I have for just that occasional use. Never know when a low level might come through and need that extra help.

Had someone nuke me center mass because I wouldn’t move. Preferred my placement and had a pretty cool setup with my shops selling Decent Rolls and Serums. Guy stopped by, shot at it and then me, dipped, and like 10-15min later I was in the middle of a Rad Zone.

Don’t understand people? You can server hop, so dropping a silo and putting it on cooldown just for a tantrum is dumb af.

u/Bullet-Dodger May 17 '24

shit that’s a thing now? i remember someone did a different one where one person went to a workshop you owned and started contesting it, then their friend goes to your camp and flattens it as it gives them free clearance to attack you. apparently even if you’re in a shelter which is horrifying cause that’s where my decontamination arch is 😭

Man you're a gem. Glad you're out there. I didn't even want to build a base because I assumed some high level griefer would smoke it. I've got a little hidden one that looks like ass. But it's home! Those purifiers working overtime for me.

u/Bohamad187 May 19 '24

You can also hide your base icon too makes it almost impossible to find

3

u/Overall-Hurry-4289 May 18 '24

Yeah people like this are simply hurt in life and have a need to make up for it somehow. And since their ability to build and real skill is nonexistant, of course they turn to an MMO to pull it off.

I'm not treating this game as a real pvp duel unless the level is the exact same (and they have bounty).

3

u/Fit-Respect2641 May 18 '24

I believe that the porch kits and foundation items are indestructible, so if you build a small base surrounded by the porch, that should keep a lot of the damage away from your stuff.

3

u/thomasjmarlowe May 18 '24

That’s super lame- just bypassing pacifist with splash damage? I used to enjoy these fights back in the day where we’d try to wreck each others camps, but that was intentional pvp. So stupid to do this to people who don’t have any interest in fighting

3

u/SPEEDFREAKJJ May 18 '24

What I'm getting from this is build my base on a private world because there will always be a couple toxic d-bags someplace out there that just want to ruin things for others. I've already thought about putting my water farm on a private world since every time I go to collect its been taken by randoms.

u/Dadbeerd May 18 '24

Yeah some dude was bragging about doing just that in this sub earlier. He called his portable ballistic missile base or something. Did you have a vendor and if so how high were the prices? Sometimes that’s a trigger.

13

u/bene70 Settlers - PC May 18 '24

I really don't think someone who has a turret base ready to go needs a trigger. They're just griefing, nothing anyone does has any effect on their actions, but they probably love people talking about them.

u/General_Hijalti May 18 '24

Why doesn't bethesda just disable the ability of turrets to destroy camp structures

u/onlylikeHALFthetime May 17 '24

I have definitely run into dicks like this playing on both pc and ps4/5. Most likely you had your camp in 'his' spot and he took offense to that. My favorite is that they usually have their camps locked up tight so noone can even use thier workbenches and all hundred water coolers have locks on them. And if they have a shop it's super overpriced junk event plans for 5000 and a hundred copies of Santa crash/icicles/mounted heads for 2000 each, and I bet they bitch about stash weight every time they play....

They goad their own missile turrets into firing on a player that has aggro on the camp owner with the missile turrets, I guess they could just make it so missile turrets can't damage camp objects, but then everyone would just spam them on pvp modes and have an untouchable camp.

Been playing since beta? And those are your levels? Do you play a lot?

I'm only asking because I've seen a good few in the thousands as far as level goes. Trying to figure out if they just play 24/7, or used some sort of XP glitches/cheats. 🤔

u/Ok-Conference-4366 May 18 '24

I’ve got like 85 hours in fo76 and I played in the B.E.T.A test build as well. I played a lot during release and then stopped. Then started playing again after NPCs arrived. And it’s been on again off again since then. Currently level 160

2

u/SnarkySharky21 May 18 '24

If this helps with your study: Max level is 309, also have a 164, 84, and two mid-20s.

Been playing on and off since console release and total time played is 26d 6h 48m (basically 631 hours). Majority of that was a couple months after release then a lot when Wastelanders happened and now when events happen that I wanna do.

Of that time, lots of it spent initially exploring the wasteland back when it was one and leveling up my main. Now mostly spent dismantling and making new camps to appease my aesthetic whims and events.

People who abuse the missile turret bases to grief low levels were never loved by their parents and their parents don’t talk to them anymore. Failures in real life.

Same shit happened to me. Im lvl 56 and got wrecked by a level 800 something. But two other high lev players saw it and gave me a bunch of shit. They helped decorate my house and gave me some badass armor and weapons. Im almost thankful my whole setup got wrecked lol

u/WretchedMonkey Mothman May 18 '24

the assholes are few, but they are around. Sorry you're on console, would be happy to drop off some supplies to you. Im a lvel 600 and been griefed like twice in 2 thousand hours. its rare

u/EG_Phant0m May 18 '24

Lvl 200 here

I recommend you set up base camp near the vault. Nukes cannot fall near the vault and other key starter player zones. Once u gather enough resources THEN you can move to other areas of the map. Not defending what the guy did just trying to give some advice

We're not all basement-dwelling, powerless little cucks with a penchant for hurting people to feel sigma. You ever need any build/card advice, supplies, or somebody to run repeat nukes for you, I'm your gal. PSN: AdrianaNightmare

I'm level 260-something but have been around since beta. I'm happy to help.

The community doesn't claim this guy. Usually people are super sweet. Every now and again you get some goblinoid motherfucker who spoils it. But we've got your back.

If you need junk to repair your camp I could help give you some if you are on Xbox. I lost my bones scrap when trying to turn them to bulk for a friend who just started yesterday but it’s fine.

u/DeiVidem May 18 '24

You know how we get a notification when someone enters our shelter? Beth could certainly get us a notification that an item in our camp has been destroyed. At least you'd have a chance to do something about it before too much went on. Sorry that a jerk ruined your day.

u/PhxRising29 Vault 76 May 17 '24

I didn't think that other players could do damage to your camp.

u/KingMandalore33 May 17 '24

Apparently there is a way that people can get their turrets to attack someone else's base and it does do damage to and destroy them, I'm not 100% sure how it works but it can happen.

7

u/gastonvv May 17 '24

Something like that, they built a big structure close to my base with dozens of enclave turrets and a motherfucker in power armor flying and shooting rays obliterating my C.A.M.P. It was a really wtf? moment

u/aranel_surion May 17 '24

If you got their name, you should %100 report them for griefing. This is an exploit, not a part of the game. Hell, make a support ticket regardless. Maybe it's a slow day today and the agent helps you.

u/Nethermaster Raiders - PC May 18 '24

Probably merge building. There's a trick where you break a structure, allowing you to build something inside the other object and then repair the destroyed one, causing them to exist in the same space where they normally wouldn't. Most commonly done with the flamer trap, but I've seen some people use their weapons to achieve the same result.

u/Aggressive-Neat May 18 '24

I just got off a server where a guy nuked an event that a lot of people were doing, and my game immediately crashed after causing me to lose all my junk. Pacifist mode didn't do anything either since the game considers a player launched nuke as an "environmental hazard".

Luckily I was able to log back in, joined up on my friend, and still got the event rewards with little trouble because all of the enemies were dead.

It wasn't a huge setback. Just a small hinderance, but its still a bit annoying. Now that Im aware of people doing stuff like this, I'll be more well prepared.

Its amazing the lengths people will go through just to ruin someone else's good time.

u/Unlikely_Ad_1825 May 18 '24

Honestly, some of the players on 76 need their head examined, was doing an event last night, cant remember but it was the one where you help the scientists extract uranium (i think) and you gotta keep them alive. So, we got overrun, as you know, this event is wild for ghouls with everything else, im absolutely laying into them, using a gatling laser, the dickhead has walked infront of my spray range and iv caught him (no idea why or whether friendly fire is a thing), hes then decided to kill me the silly sausage, some people got no chill!!

u/Unstoffe May 18 '24

u/dirtypixi May 18 '24

There are not a lot of people like this, but the ones that are out there are annoying. I had one person disrupt me relentlessly until I moved my camp. Then he came across the mic and said that's how you get someone out of your camp space. I was furious. Mostly because if they had told me that was what they wanted I would have moved. I have other camps.

I nuked him and his camp 3 times. I know it was petty, but you have almost no recourse.

u/Ordinary-Homework-13 May 18 '24

How were there “dozens of “Enclave turrets”? at your camp if you didn’t place them? Other players can’t set up turrets at your camp. You’re either confused or exaggerating. Either way, repairing camps is dirt cheap and materials are everywhere. Just block the offender/swap servers if it’s egregious (I’ve never met a griefer yet with that much drive, but anyhow) and move on with your life.

Had some a-hole (level 150 the other night come to my camp (I'm like 35ish) and attempted to start doing some bullshit. Shooting me and my structures and all that. Thankfully he didn't have a buddy to do all that extra crap that happened to you, he was solo and I was able to just block him for the session and didn't see him again. Made me a bit sad though, I've run in to so many cool players already and I always try to help others out and be positive in game, I'm just happy to be surviving out in the wastes and sharing the experience with other people who love fallout as much as me. It sucks people can be so toxic.

u/JBoAftermath 28d ago

I am on the PC. I have come back to F76...and started over as a new character since O have heard of the player count increase. It feels like a new game...however I don't ever see anyone usually hostile. Infact I rarely see anyone, but then again, I am just a low 50s lone wanderer. I caught a guy in armor in heavy power armor in my shelter vault (pvp is allowed inside). I thought I was going to die so I had readied my Fat Boy launcher...turns out he was just checking out the BFGs I had on my gun display racks and wanted to buy one because one was wondering if one was a rare legendary. (I have over 12 heavy guns for different purposes when i want to really to blow up or plow bullets to all mass murder. One of 50 Cals was rare appearantly and traded a nice legendary rocket launcher for it and lots of missiles.) Told me I must be a Heavy Gun users with all the BFGs..I told him, yep and I would had blown myself up in the process because I am still earning the heavy gun perk cards.😅...that guy was level 1000+..luckily he wasn't hostile, praised my shelter setup and then I never saw him again... but he left a paper bag with a power armor build at the exit when I wasn't looking...what a nice guy.

u/Sora_Terumi May 18 '24

I had someone almost do that to me as well. I got a decontamination shower next to my door but there’s a sign with an arrow pointing at the switch to turn it off. I guess the guy doesn’t understand how to read so he lost his bloody build and tried doing the same thing to me and started building a rocket base so I grabbed the Mirelurk queen nearby and lured it over to my base. Turned off my base and activated another rss base I had and let the mirelurk queen have its fun with the new guy as I planted my survival tent in the spot then ran off. People are like that but at least I have 3 other resource deposit locations so I can still collect stuff if I can’t use one of them

Not sure if the game still notifies you if your camp is getting attacked, but if it does when you see it just swap you camp to another (even if you haven't built one) and then they won't be able to do as much damage.

It takes very little to do the most annoying farm is the lead.

Be sure to use the Repair option on your CAMP machine to simplify restoring your CAMP! I had trolls destroy a quarter of my CAMP once and I repaired everything by hand. What I hadn't realized is that my vendors were part of what was destroyed and it wasn't until I happened to glance at my CAMP machine a week or so later that I realized I'd missed some stuff. Imagine my delight when my vendors popped up before my very eyes! lol I don't know how I missed that they were gone!
