To place down a camp in New World, you must first unlock the ability through specific progression in the game's main quest line.
Unlocking Your Camp Placement Ability
The ability to place a camp is not available from the start of your adventure in Aeternum. It is granted to you as you advance through the initial stages of the game's narrative.
- Quest Line Progression: As you follow the main quest line, you will eventually be guided towards your first assessment. This is a significant point in your early game journey.
- Meeting the Survivalist: During the quest line leading up to this first assessment, you will be formally introduced to the survivalist. This interaction is the crucial trigger for acquiring the camp-placing skill.
- Receiving the Ability and Quest: Upon meeting the survivalist, you will instantly receive the ability to place a camp. Concurrently, you will also be given a quest that specifically guides you on how to utilize this newfound capability.
Once the ability to place a camp is unlocked through these steps, the game's user interface will typically provide clear instructions or a dedicated keybind to allow you to set up your camp in appropriate wilderness locations. Camps are vital for survival in New World, serving as personal respawn points and enabling basic crafting functionalities in remote areas.
