Can other players damage/destroy your camp?

[Outlier]

Is it possible for another player to destroy your camp with a powerful weapon (with say a fat man)? I was away from the game temporarily and when I came back about a third of my camp needed repairing. Walls were missing and all vending machines were destroyed. It's never been like that with normal play with the NPC's. Is it possible that another player did that?

[Omega24]

yes, anything can destroy your camp, from what ive encountered someone can lure a high lvl creature to your base and have it destroy it as well.

[Omega24]

i find it kinda bs honestly.

So any player can come to your camp with a fat man, nuke it, and destroy it? If we know which player it is, is there any way we can block him? Or do we just have to go to another server?

Not any more. They turned off splash damage because it was being used to grief players outside of pvp. Some still find a few ways around it, but most are use other methods. As Omega mentioned, they can still lure monsters into your CAMP. Also, players can still drop nukes and destroy your camp as well. I do that to Trap Camps whenever I find one (i.e. the camps that lure players with vending machines and then try to kill them with traps so they can steal their junk).

Most likely, your CAMP was in a nuke zone or it got raided by nasty monsters. Mole Rats and Radscorpions are also extremely dangerous to CAMPs because they can burrow and attack areas that are outside of turret sight i.e. generators, walls, etc.

No, my camp was not in a nuke zone. It's never been in one. When I returned to my computer I heard a loud explosion and flames on the camp walls and I saw a player not too far away. There wasn't any creature nearby. So it looked & sounded like another player used a fat man on my camp. Are you 100% sure this is not possible?

Yes. I can stand there and drop mininukes on your camp but will eventually 1. become wanted because something finally breaks or 2. I finally run out of mininukes. I have had several grievers come to my camp this week and have tried it-one of them with a hacked weapon that sprays mininukes like a minigun. Another was trying to set up radioactive mines everywhere and blew himself up-without really damaging my CAMP or the players at my Vending Machines.

They MAY have seen whatever was destroying your camp and dropped a mininuke or shot something else at it and killed it. That's just a guess though.

Edit: I'm going to go in game now and attack a friends CAMP with different methods to see if I missed something.

You might try one of those magic legendary setups, if you have one. They seem to bypass all forms of DR.

If you damage a CAMP, you'll notice the health bar goes down, but then regenerates (sort of like how the Shotgun rubberbands health at times)

But yeah, certain areas will always trigger enemies when you spawn in. There's an oil extractor that will always spawn in ticks when I fast travel to it. So yeah, anyone who users your vending machines can trigger enemy attacks

I'll admit I do find it amusing to see how well base defenses work against enemies. Especially if you get high level Mutants. They just keep killing the ally over and over and over.

But imo you should get a defend player base misc quest sorta like a workshop imo if your in the vicinity of a player base being attacked. It would encourage helping others

More than likely I was probably grieved by another player but the bottom line is, under NORMAL circumstances your base isn't supposed to be damaged by other players, right? And if someone is using a hack or exploit, is there a way to block them so they don't see you or your camp at all? Or is the best way to just go to another server?

[Ashadin]

If you block someone, they wont be able to see you on the map and when joining a new server it should try to place you on different servers. You can block someone via the recents tabs of the social menu.

There is a glitch where a player can use explosive baits to destroy your camp. I think it'd be patched soon, though.

Thanks Ryan. Looks like in that video, the player is using the explosive bait to damage the camp. I wonder if that's actually a bug/exploit or if there was something else going on (i.e. modified/hacked bait). Either way it's pretty interesting that they were able to do that. Maybe the OP was grieved by a jackass like in the video?

Its a known exploit, whether its working as intended I'm not sure. The same method can be used to grief events (if you ever had the robots randomly die in fasnacht and an enemy was not to blame, then this was probably what did it). From what little research I've done on it, the explosive baits explosion is classed as an environmental effect, if you kill an enemy with explosive bait, you usually don't get any XP and can't loot the corpse, indicating that the damage wasn't counted as damage from you.

This is almost definitely what was used to destroy OPs base, I'm not sure of the specifics, but I believe the bait has to be shot to get set off, as I couldn't get it to blow up reliably when I was testing it.

No, people can't destroy your camp.
There is no DR protection for camps...they are literally unkillable unless you have triggered pvp.

9/10 the person whining about their camps being destroyed have picked a locked door, stolen something or have taken a workshop and triggered pvp.

Well, I guess I was the 1/10 that didn't.

So quick to say the person posting is whining and probably did something to deserve it. The explosive bait can be used to destroy ppl camps. Literally looked this thread up because late last night my camp was destroyed, fixed it and then within 5 min. I caught a guy throwing explosive bait outside my camp destroying it again.

Ya know, I have tried this repeatedly at various people that deserved it. It never did any damage to their camp.

Just like the gnasher grenades killing players. I been killed by one at the SBQ, but have yet to have it work on anyone else.

It makes me wonder if these people are using something to allow it.
