A player has built a school from his camp in Fallout 76. However, this is not just a school, but a trap where players either need to be good at math or die.
This is what the trap looks like: The user Vault101manguy posted pictures of his C.A.M.P. on reddit. From the outside, it looks like a perfectly normal school reminiscent of an earlier time, classic in the Fallout style.
Inside are benches, a chalkboard, a teacher’s desk, coat hooks, a little bit of decoration, and everything that belongs in a school. The chalkboard displays the message: “Page 9 math homework, Monday.”
This should give some players a hint about what this might be about. A door leads to the tutoring room or teacher’s room. This is where the real trap is located.
Mean School: Math or Die
How does the trap work? The adjacent room consists of a desk, a number pad, and a task written on the wall. Additionally, there is another spectator room attached to the room, from which the “teacher” can observe.
From here, he controls various mechanisms. When a player enters the room, he closes a door behind him using a switch. After the victim has read the math task, he flips a second switch.
This activates flamethrowers that slowly fill the room with fire. The victims have a short time to solve the task and enter the result before they are grilled alive. Those who fail burn.
To prevent players from escaping via fast travel, there is a bloatfly (named Charlie) in the room above the tutoring area. This keeps the victims engaged in combat, preventing them from traveling. This is how it all looks in the video:
Deadly Camps in Fallout 76 – Fun for Everyone
Who makes these camps? The player has become a bit of a celebrity in the community and is also known by the names Korindabar and aswiftkickinthejunk. He has previously built camp traps like the “Player Oven”, a “Murder Church” or a deadly labyrinth.
His ideas are mostly well received. Most players and even victims have fun with it. He allows those who fail to reclaim their lost loot and try again, if they want to.
Other players also use the feature frequently. For example, a MeinMMO reader built a museum that even charges an entrance fee.
Camps are so important: Korindabar finds the C.A.M.P. feature extremely important and underrated. He has done crazy things with the feature like a cow catapult or a rather morbid “disco”.
For him, the ideas made possible with C.A.M.P.s bring life to the world of Fallout 76. So much is possible if one is just creative enough. He hopes that the feature will be expanded with the upcoming Wastelanders update.
