Extract camping

[Rinny]

God how sad these peoples lives must be
Sitting in a bush for 30min setting up 6 poison + concertina trip mines around the point
And even after all that "planning" you still get clowned on by a guy using a cross bow

Well, it's just normal human behavior.
If that is a "tactic" they've been successful with, then they repeat it to continue being successful. If in average it gains them more than loses, it's a tactic worth using.

I personally would be bored to death with that playstyle but each to their own.

I've done that too solo sometimes, and I don't bring a sniper with me, like ever.

You wouldn't believe but there's barely any sitting involved. You gotta estimate where they gonna exit and when and prepare nearby compound for a backup plan too. Also you might have had to fight someone during all that.
It's a full workout with constant running (silently) if you wanna do it well and still the bounty may slip away from you if they happen to go other way or something. Barely doable without good traits, gamesense and some luck.

Also if someone does it by only sitting for 30 min. The ♥♥♥♥ you care how they spend their time?

It might work in lower MMR, point camping gets you killed generally in mid or higher MMR or people just see you in darksight and spin right around.

Have had plenty of games where the boss is killed and banished before i could even reach it. Compound surounded by snipers, and the only chance is to counter the team with the token at the nearest extraction point.

Considering you can keep 1-2 seconds of your enhanced darksight, and most extraction points are so open any trap is easy to spot. I dont think its much of a problem.

At best you get a good fight before ending the game, at worst you have the advantage and kill the other player(s) for some extra bonus.

Its a playstyle. The game offers darksight for that specific reason.

I've done it if I am solo playing. Stick concertina traps in the water around the boat. Sit outside of the boundaries with a scoped weapon and it is a hit or miss. Either the other team was prepared for an ambush or they weren't.

The game offers you 3 escape routes. Usually they are by Land or Water. If it is an obvious water extract by a boat. You have to account for the fact that there is going to be spots where players can ambush you from traps. If it is low-ground, expect a high-ground attack such as a nearby tower or lighthouse.

Thank you for delivering the bounty to me. I appreciate you.

Honestly its a funny tactic to use on people. Granted me and my friend didnt sit in a bush for ever and a day. We actually were doing Event Quests and since we finished we saw the Banish was near an extraction. So we first ran to extraction set up a bunch of silly traps then went to the Banish on the opposite side of the banish to push them towards it... Pure comedy gold i tells ya

I highly dont think anyone is sitting there for 30 minutes. When I have engaged in this its do to being WAY out of position when the boss got banished and guessing the correct extract/it was the only place to even have a chance at the token. And what the heck else are you gonna use the traps on at this point? The surprising thing is that it does not happen more. But that is do to dark vision negating camping the extract. It is hilarious when you actually kill someone with a trap on an extract however. Its also stupid rare. Like its more common in my games getting chased to the extract with the tokens and have a couple seconds to throw down a trap or two before the final fight over GTFO. That HAS gotten me kills. But that also means traps are there if not tripped for whoever is next...

But the answer is dark sight....
