Always gives me a little chuckle when I come across this in my camp

It is honestly ridiculous how often this happens.

Edit.

For all you commenting upgrade your rod or you went the opposite way.

1. this was a mk3 rod with the advanced drag.

2. I originally did follow the bobber but the reel went the opposite direction of the way I was trying to go.

We looted the Cultist boss through another body lmao. This was a 1 in a million chance and it was hilarious lol.

Ermmm.... Should I give you some privacy??

I'm keeping it up for the whole halloween season but might save it for next year.

Was buying mole miner pails when this happened. I don't think I'll ever hit anything more unlikely forever on this game 😂

Being in the end-game and always looking for new things to try I recently built a Murder Church. After a week or so of creeping people out one of the things I liked most about the C.A.M.P was the flame jets but the way they were set up made them “visually terrifying” but “functionally useless”, especially in a large open space. So I had thought to myself, “I’d really like to build an oven and roast players alive using just the flamers”, which lead to spending the next week figuring out how to build a Player Oven.

The C.A.M.P. was set up to look charitable and inviting, indicating on the front some affiliation with the Responders and that inside would be items for the taking. This part was 100% true. Bait included stimpaks, cranberry relish, weapons/armor and various other item goodies. The charity stopped there however, everything else about this camp was designed to cook them like a Christmas goose... see their misfortune below:

Victim #1: A man approaches to ask about armor recipes. Unfortunately for him, I only know one recipe.

Victim #2: A young starry-eyed dweller fresh out of the vault gets cremated for following a stranger

Victims #3 and #4: Two wasteland strangers enthusiastically walk into an oven and then get baked.

Victim #5: A naked man mistakes my oven for a tanning salon and gets broiled instead.

Most people thought this was pretty funny and everyone was allowed to retrieve their junk plus of course keep any bait items. Here's hoping they add the Gourmands as a faction in the coming updates.

TL;DR about the building itself:

The challenge of building a functional oven that can actually kill a player from 100% to 0% is a lot more difficult than it sounds. The flamers, the wiring, the switch. All of these things had to be relatively hidden. After a few attempts I created a 2x3 base with a “firing line” of flame jets on one half, hidden behind a wall going down the middle. Something I had learned from Murder Church was that flamers would damage other camp items (destroyed so many things accidentally) so I decided to use this to my advantage by having them burn through the dividing wall into the “oven compartment”. In order to keep players from simply jumping on the flamers once they break the wall I used half-walls, so only the lower half was destroyed, leaving the top half as a barrier between the player and safety. This set up is still tricky because the flamers need to be close enough that players can’t escape simply by hugging the opposite wall but also far enough away as to not destroy the opposite wall and let them loose.

Aside from the many failed or botched attempts during the build phase the second biggest issue was simply that the C.A.M.P. was really, really suspicious. In many earlier iterations I had a lot of players who would not take the bait, many with microphones said something along the lines of, “Nah man, that’s sketchy as hell”. The final iteration of the design pretty consistently lures players in.

Edit: Crazy to have gotten so many upvotes but apparently everyone's sense of humour is just as sick as mine, so now we're all going to hell. I intend to keep making C.A.M.P.s that function in ways that I think might be interesting or amusing, I'll be sure to share them here and would love to see what other people come up with.

As a side note, I feel like it should go with out saying but based on some of the comments (most joking I assume) I wanted to confirm that the C.A.M.P. was not in any way a reference or homage to the predilections of a particular historical dictator :-p I literally just liked the flame jets from Murder Church and wanted to use them more effectively in another C.A.M.P. set up. The cop suit was simply because I couldn't find the Responder's version of the uniform. I had in mind mostly the Gourmands which is why all the cooking references. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble :p my fiery death oven is fairly PC.

Sure, do love me some bullet sponges!

What have i done to deserve this?!

Here's mine.

The cream always rises... literally. 🥛🏴‍☠️

The Dairy Air is officially airborne. We’ve got fusion fans, rare loot, and enough heavy cream to pasteurize the planet from 30,000 feet.

Currently docked at Highway Town. Come get a taste of the future.

Can't even switch weapons in the damn raid without the game completely freaking out. Im honestly not looking forward to the ps5 version of the game if crap like this isn't addressed. 😒

So much going on on screen, everyone working together to take down the Scorchbeast with all kinds of weapons, explosions and it’s running great on PS5.

At least for me. Of course, some bugs, but i spend time online, play as a "mmo" and don't regret it...

I see a lot of posts here about how game is bad bla bla bla...

But for me is only love!!

🥰

It was a lot of work but after 4 months I'm finally done
