10 CAMP-building tips for your first Fallout 76 base

Construction and Assembly Mobile Platform aka C.A.M.P is one of the most basic yet important aspects of Fallout 76. It allows you to create your personal settlement, providing a safe place to rest. Base building was also integral to Fallout 4, and the recent Fallout 4 Next-Gen update has breathed new life into the title.

The main difference between the base-building system in Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 is in Fallout 76, where players can build their base anywhere they want. They are no longer limited to creating camps only near their settlements. Before you jump into building your first camp, take a look at these tips that can help you build the best Camp in Fallout 76.

If you don’t like electrical cables dangling across your rooms, you use small cans and build the connectors on them. Destroying the can will make the connector free. After this you can put the connectors inside your walls, effectively hiding them in your living spaces.
