Summary
Building a CAMP is a crucial part ofFallout 76.The base-building part of the game is something that most players love. Being able to create cool and unique homes to show off to other players is something that most fans ofFallout 76enjoy doing. That said, when the player first emerges from Vault 76, it can be a little overwhelming to decidewhere to set up CAMPfor the first time.
There are hundreds of different locations that players can claim throughout Appalachia. While there are lots of great areas for players to build, low-level players should consider building their first homes in relatively safe locations.
1Around Vault 76
A Familiar Surrounding
The area aroundVault 76is relatively enemy-free. And any enemies that tend to roam around this area are typically pretty easy to kill. Also, despite being in the forest region,there are several relatively flat points around the vault. This is great for those wanting to build a base in an area that is void of any cumbersome trees.
Since Vault 76 is a free fast travel point, more players are likely to visit a CAMP close by as it’s not going to cost them anything for the journey. This makes the area around Vault 76 great for making some extra caps, as it will draw in plenty of visitors. Just be sure to place any CAMP vendors in easy-to-see places.
2Near The Wayward
A Frequent Travel Point For Many Players
The Wayward is a key location that players will need to visit many times throughout one of the core storylines.It’s also pretty void of enemies, which makes it the perfect area forlow-level playersto set up shop.
There’s a river that runs along the roadside, so any player who builds here will have their own source of water. Also, if the player places their CAMP along the road, then they will have a fairly large flat area where they can build.
3Under New River Gorge Bridge
A Picturesque Area
New River Gorge Bridge towers over the forest below, making it a stunning place to build. Since the area that stretches below the bridge is all part of the forest region,any enemies that do spawn will normally be pretty easy to take care of.
What makes this area particularly great is that there are terrain options for players. There are cliffs, open areas, and a dry riverbed that runs under the center of the bridge. The different types of terraingive players more creative freedomregarding what type of CAMP they want to create.
4Near Anchor Farm
A Calm Area With Non-Hostile Locals
North of Vault 76 lies a small, secluded farm. Anchor Farm is home toa handful of settlers. While they aren’t exactly the most welcoming people in the area, they aren’t hostile, so if the player sets up a CAMP nearby, there’s a chance that the folks living on Anchor Farm may lend a hand if any enemies stray too close.
The area around the farm is covered with trees. That said, there are a couple of clearings that will provide the player with some flat, buildable land. This place is great for low-level players who want to build a forest retreat that blends into the surroundings.
5The Whitespring Golf Club
A Slice Of Pre-War Paradise
The Whitespring Golf Clubis relatively undamaged. This is because of the work of the robots who patrol the grounds and maintain the area.There are lots of Ghouls that roam around the area. However, the robots are usually available to lend a helping hand. Just be sure not to accidentally shoot one of the robots as they won’t hesitate to turn on the player.
If the player is worried about random Ghoul attacks, then they should opt to build toward the southern end of the course, as fewer Ghouls tend to make their way to that side.
6Next To Sutton Station
A Great Central Location
Sutton is a key location. It isthe home of the Overseer of Vault 76. Players who are following the main storyline will need to pay her multiple visits. Just south of her home is Sutton Station. This is one of the many train stations that players can visit to buy and sell items to robot vendors.
What makes this area a great place to build is theflat, clear land that sits right in front of the station. Also, it’s very rare to see enemies close to Sutton Station, so it’s a good place to build for those who enjoy peace and quiet.
7Near Whitespring Station
The Trader’s Hub
Players will notice that, more often than not, there will be a couple of CAMPs set up along the train tracks outside the Whitespring Station. This is becausethis area is a popular spot for those conducting trades.
Many players who trade items through online forums tend to use the Whitespring Station as a meeting point. This makes the area ideal for making extra sales as high-level players will often be in the area.
While the enemies that spawn in this area tend to be harder to kill, there are usually plenty of players around to help take care of them. The area is fairly flat and open, making it a great area to turn into a livable space.
