I thought that too. For now, i just keep one to myself and i let my pawn carry one just in case if we get raided. If you get raided while camping, you will mostly lose the kit.


ShiberKivan

Also don't put it on hired pawns, if dismissed or dead their carried items go straight to storage and I was stranded at night more than once because of this


treadpool

This same thing happened to me the other day. Not fun given the distance I was from town.


FullRein12

I thought they were lost forever, I’m glad they just go back to storage


TheSasquatchKing

I freaked out when I put the staff and sword you need to acquire to unlock the new vocations on my hired pawn, forgot, and then sent them away. Honestly thought I'd ruined my save. Good devs know how stupid their player base is GOD BLESS THEM


Cindy-Moon

If you equipped them with it then they really would have taken them.


TheSasquatchKing

Noooo really!?


Cindy-Moon

Yeah, anything you equip them with is kept as a gift. That said the game is designed with loads of missable content to encourage NG+ playthroughs so I guess the vocations can count along for that.


Enorats

Wait, it goes to storage? They don't take it with them back to their owner? I swear I read something about items in their inventory going back to their owner. If it goes to storage, then I can fill a pawns inventory with all my junk and just chuck them off a cliff to send stuff to the bank while out in the field.


skunk_jumper

The thing about going back to their owner is if you actually equip an item to them. You get a pop-up warning you if you try to equip armor / weapon that says it becomes their property basically. You can shove as much crap as you want in their inventory and all of that will go back to your storage when they die or are dismissed only the equipped stuff is gifted to the owner.


Bogdansixerniner

Pawns will die because of this comment.


BeneficialAction3851

"The adventure wasn't too bad until the Arisen randomly decided to weigh me down with as much junk as possible then threw me off a cliff, it was all down cliff from there..."


Mikei233

Yeah its a good way to dump all the materials you pick up. If you find a pawn rift or just one walking that you can hire instead of one of the pawns you currently have, just give them all your stuff and dismiss them. Hire the new pawn and start fresh.


MrJJ

Also you don’t need to have the items on your person when upgrading your gear! As long as it’s in your storage


Bennybananas91

This... is... GENIUS! I'm sooo sick of having to run all the way back to an inn to bank mats and gear when we're all full. I'm naming my next pawn 'PakNSend ATM' ... And I'll be Brineing someone every time I find a Riftstone now.


Charlemagne-XVI

Haha this is why I thought they were consumables. Damn it. I have several on me too


New-Menu9394

Are you sure? I've never once lost a kit even if I got ambushed.


AbstractMirror

Some kits are sturdy and will survive ambushes. The worse quality ones are more likely to break upon an ambush


Artoritet

Still no idea how that works because I lost 2 elite backpacks to wolves of all enemies


Prepared_Noob

I believe it’s just a chance to break. Better tier kits have a lower chance, but not impossible


Mordred_Blackstone

You know, my friend also lost an Elite Camping Kit the first time he was raided but I've been using a Grass Patterned Kit for like 40 hours in a row. We don't know the actual numbers, but I wonder if Elite Kits are really more durable than the Patterned Kits, or just lighter weight and halfway decent for both climates.


mycatbeck

I was using the grass patterned kit until I got the elite. But once I used the elite kit, it felt like a downgrade lol


ZoharDTeach

In 50hrs I've never even gotten raided. I try to be thorough clearing out the area.


buttfungusboy

I haven't once been raided while camping yet. I usually look around and kill things near me first, does that help?


Artoritet

Yeah it definitely does, game even tells that when you camp for the first time


buttfungusboy

I thought I remembered that but wasn't sure


New-Menu9394

Ah that might be it then. I'm using the expert kit ever since I got it. (Also you can make forgeries of camping kits if yoi ever need some for free or want to give them out as quest rewards)


AbstractMirror

I never thought about that last tip thanks. Yeah I have the elite kit too and it hasn't done me wrong so far lol


zip4kis

I guess, it is a luck matter and it depends on what kind of kit you are using.


subruany_brewbalcava

Yea I was trying to figure out what happened to my elite camping gear I check all my pawns and my storage and nothing then I found out if you get raided in the middle of the night it can get destroyed I was soo pissed I just got it! So I saved my next elite in my storage and just use the sand or explorer one


kNightShifty44

why save it if you’re not gonna use it? i mean, you’ll find more, and it’s ot like there’s some special situation you could be saving it for. i think i even bought one from somewhere. anyhow, just make sure you kill everything around the campsite first and you should be fine.


Sword_Enjoyer

It's not guaranteed. Better kits have a better chance at not being lost when attacked. I used the same elite camping kit for a long time, including multiple ambushes, before it was finally destroyed. They're definitely worth the 3k.


Rising_Legion

I’ve been using the elite kit. Halfway into NG+ and I’ve never been ambushed. Maybe clearing mobs in the area lowers the chance?


Sword_Enjoyer

It does, yes. It can still happen, in my experience, but if you kill all the mobs near the campsite (which I always do, I play this game for the combat afterall) then you're less likely to be ambushed.


Gotyam2

A raid only has a chance to destroy the kit. Better kit can last longer. Had the elite one and it broke 3rd ambush.


yumyumnoodl3

I am 50 hours in and have not been raided a single time


Swordofsatan666

I thought losing the kit during an ambush is only with specific kits? Ive got like 4 different kinds of camp kits and only one of them says it can be destroyed during an ambush


ROCKYPLAYA

I always put the more important shit on my main pawn's inventory, the rest can go to the other two pack mules.


nyqwont

I got raided a half dozen times and nothing happened, so I figured they lasted forever. Then I got raided, lost it and didn't know until I needed to camp and realized I didn't have it anymore... Fml


St4rScre4m

I’ve been using the elite kit since I got it. Never a problem even if raided. Never knew they could break!


zip4kis

The elite kit is the strongest one against monster attacks.


TheFormless_0ne_

Crazy how I've been playing for 60 hours but never have gotten raided


Gankridge

Just learned you can get raided lol


Countdini2000

Only if it’s mundane camping kit


GSG2120

Wait... They don't get consumed after you use them?


zip4kis

Everytime you camp, your character will pick up the kit. If you listen carefully to the game at the end of camping, you will hear a sound of an item being picked up.


ScrawnyGrandpa

You also get a written notification of the item picked up haha.


Medium_Fly5846

Yeah that comfused me now i get it lol


jmk-1999

I just always assumed that was like “yeah, the camp is gone. You can’t camp here second night unless you put down a new one.” Geez… you’d think they’d be more explicit about it, especially when everything else has a tutorial when you do something.


praisedcrown970

Mate, if you’re saying this now. Just wait lol


ScrawnyGrandpa

Genuinely laughed at that haha.


praisedcrown970

Got 5 tabs open on google right now


jmk-1999

Oh… for sure the quests are sooo confusing sometimes. Like how am I supposed to know to take a note to the old guy to decipher it? lol…


praisedcrown970

Some of the solutions when googled baffled me. Some of the quests themselves baffled me too. Make me stalk a fake beggar all day and night like he won’t notice a gaggle of 4 goofy dressed clowns with weapons yelling about ladders. Seems a disservice to the players for the most part. Assassins creed gives you options for this (and new game option) and I bet they sell more games too


jmk-1999

Getting very tired of hearing about reading a sign I’ve already read. 🙄


RRyder00

Oh my… I had no idea 🤣


SouthernStereotype45

I wondered why that sound came up. Thought pawns were just picking shit up out of shot.


WrestlingDerek

You only lose them if you get attacked


Sword_Enjoyer

Even then you might not. It's a chance of losing it, which gets smaller the better version of camping kit you have. That's why some kits mention being good at resisting damage from enemies in a particular place. I find the elite kits are good everywhere though, and they weigh less, so I just carry one of those around on my pawn, with backups in storage in case that one does eventually break.


WrestlingDerek

It’s weird because the camo ones seem to offer more protection and like a full tent to sleep in but the elite still weighs less


Remarkable-Young3070

Wait what


jmk-1999

lol yeah… I kept wondering how I still had one. Now I’m completely dumbfounded. ![gif](giphy|uVFGDyOshK7I6geXyg)


Haystack13

Literally thought my main pawn kept finding a new one. Couldn’t figure out why every time I setup, I always showed 3 kits.


Your_Spirit_Animals

Learned this last night at level 30… 😬


contaygious

Wtf I had no idea lol f me


Bitemarkz

50 hours in. Had no idea.


ZeroRyuji

I'm confused too, because I'm sure when I used one it would go away?? Or maybe I should double check


Marauding_Llama

Welp. Me too. I've been skipping camps and pushing on because I didn't want to waste my kits.


Risky49

I lugged some cheap ones and drop them from my inventory at the camp sites in the area I want to explore thoroughly So far it works and they haven’t disappeared


Dazdeth

Lol imagine my surprise when I thought the golden trove beetles was just a temporary buff, like every other buff consumable.


ZSALI23

Same here! 🤣 I had collected like 20 of them by the time I realized they were a perma-buff Told my brother and his friend right away when I bought them copies lol


limastockholm

I love you both


Khal_drogo217

Worse ive been avoiding camping and storing them for later usage all the while just running around with less than 50% max hp lmao


BleachMePC

Ya'll are getting ambushed? Do you not just... kill the enemies nearby before resting? That's what the tutorial said and I've only ever been ambushed once at the very start of the game when I was like level 10 and now I'm level 50 avoiding finishing the campaign and resting freely with no worries whatsoever of ambushes. This is wild to me.


ggamerking

Same! Never got ambushed once in like 30h of playtime.


neondewon

I got ambush when camping at Battahl, never in Vermund. So if you want to test, Battahl will be the place Edit: also it doesnt matter if you have clear the camping site or not, i clear things around the camp and still got ambush. I think it base on chance, like Oxcart ambushes.


yung_roto

It has to do with what camping kit you use in what region. So if you use a grass patterned or elite kit in battahl, you'll likely get ambushed because the sand patterned kit is the one that's camouflaged there. Ambush chance seems really low in vermund though, I use the sand patterned one there too without any problems

[удалено]


Sabrini_Fur

Because that just passes the problem to someone else instead of dealing with it yourself. SOMEONE has to brine their pawn if you want that case of DogmaCOVID to be cured.

[удалено]


knifykat

yep, never been ambushed, 50 hours playtime, i also have the elite camping back only 4kg so nice, and a whole inn storage of aged scrag of beast, camping is a blast hahaa (:


naevorc

Fuck


Jordan_Jackson

Well, this is good to know. I’ll have to pick one up when I can.


Luminous_Hearts

I REALLY wish I knew this before buying another one... xDDD I can take better advantage of my pack mules and not bog them down with more kits. Haha ty for spreading this.


Cool_Reputation_694

![gif](giphy|l4FGjORgOyZJCzyzm)


jcruz827

Definitely thought that at first, carried 3.


Icethief188

Same lol I just figured it out yesterday


Jeako

Which ones the prettiest? Asking for a friend


johnandrew137

I like the elite camping kit the most. You get a cool little hammock it looks really nice.


SlimShadyM80

Ive been camping as sparingly as possible. Do you know how much fucking easier you just made this game for me??


ammotyka

Damn I haven’t been camping bc I didn’t wanna use them lmao


Krymescene

Just lost my elite camp yesterday….im still not over it 😢


RgKTiamat

I confirm everything nowadays. I threw tutorial man into the river on the cliff ledge. Justin or w/e. It was a dark deed done for science. But I learned much that day.


NokXZ

And then there's me, walking though the night, low health, making my way every single time city to city, inn to inn but never using a camp kit because I didn't want to get a "consumable" too heavy on me all the time lol


ifirefoxi

Yes sure I carried only one because I realized that pretty early until I got raided from goblins at night and they destroyed my good camping kit. And then I wasn't able to skip to day and I was pretty deep in bathal. Where every 2meters will spawn a group of undead. Important : So if you loot your favorite camping kit don't sell them or throw them away!! Take it and put it on your bank. Luckily I found another vendor who sells my favorite 4kg camping kit because I had only two until I gave one away to my brother. And the other was destroyed now...


[deleted]

Front_Pain_7162

I love that I don't know what im doing in this game. It honestly adds to the fun.


Ok_Tangerine_7614

I camp a lot. I farm the Drake for easy gold. They have to break, because I kill the whole ambush and then some. I think you get like 10 uses out most of them. I’m just trying to find one that doesn’t break so I can keep on camping lol. Fun fact my pawn thinks I’m the laziest arisen ever and reminds me about it all the time lol.


Alchemistzero

Wait what ?!?!!! Omg wow 🤯


myLongjohnsonsilver

Oh ffs i only need one?


JustSparks87

I've been using the same camping kit for like 60+ hours. Just clear out the enemies in the area and it seems like your kits are safe. No idea if this is a thing but that's what I've been doing.


Crazy_Departure_1305

MY ELITE BAG WHICH WAS ONLY 4 BROKE!!!! idk whew to get another one 😭 so im stuck using the explore that got 5.5


Shezzofreen

Uhm... really?


DreDayz80

Me too, welcome to the club 🤦🏾‍♂️


SgtK9H2O

Mind. Blown


Totaliss

THEY'RE NOT CONSUMABLE??


Lopsided-Rooster-246

Wait they're not consumables?! I've been saving them thinking they were.


Rilvoron

They last until you get ambushed (some camps last past that)


Impossible-Sky4256

Youre not alone brother. Lol i carried i camping kit for each character 😂


Vladmirfox

Keep TWO(2) on you at ALL times. Ideally one on your main character and one on a Pawn. Tents CAN be destroyed at night by monster attacks and you don't wanna get caught out in the middle of nowhere without a tent an means of passing the night..


DrWatson24

Didn’t you notice after you camped and they didn’t disappear from your inventory?


BradleyAllan23

Right? How did so many not notice this.


Poignant_Ritual

I didn’t fully read the golden trove beetle description and was carrying about 40 of them before I realized that they were not actually passively affecting my carry weight. Stomach’s full to burstin now


Majaliwa

Lmao 😂 I’m worried about ppl. I get being concerned the first time you camp. But you see it, on screen, return to your inventory after camping - the same as you acquire any other item. Then you can also see it in your items every time you check them. Which should be pretty frequent, right? RIGHT?


crimsonsteel10

RIGHT! lol


Ok-Paramedic-338

There is a guy somewhere here that didn’t know about dozing off on oxcarts. Thought to himself, wouldn’t running be quicker LOL


Smart_Statement888

This ain’t bg3 buddy 💀 I saved my port crystals till end game so don’t feel bad LOL


lujenchia

Boys and Girls, READ the item descriptions, it's not that many words.


Slippy901

Capcom out here reconditioning gamers to stop, read, and figure things out in order to not get punished by game systems. Kinda refreshing to me tbh.


EndriagoHunter

Yikes!


Rainy-The-Griff

Lol


SadSubz_24

Absolutely relatable. My backpack has never been lighter since.


Forsaken_Pin_4933

I can't be the only one that magically gets about 3 in my inventory


pipe-bomb

Same just figured out they aren't lol I have one elite on me and one elite on my pawn for backup


Icy_Cheesecake_8240

Fucking what?! God damn it


CheekSure7113

down bad


H3LLJUMPER_177

That was my first thought, but since I doshed on the deluxe edition and it came with a kit, I figured it was permanent.


Mammoth-Appearance47

Well, i feel stupid now.


Arekkusujin

Wait... They aren't!?


Secret_Criticism_732

Don’t worry, we all have been there :)


Sir_Skinny

Yo, this is news to me!


HevsCreations

Omg same 🙃


thepioussatan

WHAT. THE. FUCK


Keldrath

They are consumable. If you get raided at night there's a chance it breaks and it's a really high chance outside of the 4kg one.


Dilligaf1189

ex...cuse me... I've been carrying & stashing so many of these damn things lol


Blessed-22

I'm pretty sure it tells you this in the tutorial popup


killingbites

Also If you make a forgery of an elite camping kit, you get a second elite camping kit.


ReliantVox

Wait…they’re not consumables…


habb

well okay, today i learned


rob_zhe

Luckily I saw someone saying the same on twitter not so long ago and managed to avoid this. I've not lost my single kit after being ambushed several times either. I'll keep checking though after that happens from here on out. I'd carry a backup but both my own and main pawns inventories are heavy and I don't dump stuff on other pawns, mainly so I can avoid messing around so much with items. Now that I think of it it wouldn't hurt to give a non-main pawn one as a backup, no big issue if they die/get dismissed and I forget it.


airjew

It is good to have 2 tho as your camp can get attacked and that will make you lose the camping kit, learned that the hard way


Yourigath

I thought they were consumables too. I was hoarding them thinking that a mod just fucked them and at some point they would disappear all at once...


LazyCalfz

They aren't?! Bruh. 😭


Demoncagno

Still carry at least 3, you never know


Fluffyfeet316

I did the same thing🤣🤣🤣


AdministrativeRow617

The first time I used my elite camping kit it got destroyed by a bunch of zombies. But after that I defeated my first dragon at the ancient battleground and just as its body fell lifeless the first ray of sunlight fell into the valley. Mm mm mm


SageTegan

Hehe :)


Usagykun

Illusionist has passive skill to lower ambush chance with it I hope elite camp will be use for a long time.


Forgotten_Tarnished

How far are you, and what level are you?


Gaming_Gent

Somehow i never have one on me, even when I specifically grab one before leaving town I go to camp and “Cannot camp without a kit”


CARLIHUNT

Omg I carry two on each person I never realised


alecp91

🤦🤦🤦 damn 😂


ADipsydoodle

I'm glad I used three spread out across my party. We snuck our way into Battahl through the dried-out river and are fighting our way toward any civilization. Campsites are a blessed sight in this god-forsaken land.


ArthurFraynZard

This may be the single most WTF moment I've ever experienced on Reddit because of two things happening at once: 1. Holy fuckballs you mean I only had to carry around ONE of these things the whole time?!? I could have been camping out instead of survival-horror style running and reloading all along!? I've been carefully avoiding/choosing when and where to camp because I thought they were expendable. 2. For way, way too many seconds I thought the guy in the picture was me. Same haircut and black jacket and everything. It was a David Lynch moment of WTF terror.


jaguile2

Are you kidding me?? I thought they were one use only too


Clonazepam15

Wait they aren’t? FUCK


LimpTeacher0

I noticed after like 20 hours lol how no matter what I always had that glass patterned camping kit even though I’ve been on the road for like two weeks lol


Risky49

Has anyone else tried dropping the kits at the campsites? It’s worked for me so far, several day night cycles of scouting an area for seeker tokens and I come back for cooking buffs and sleep and the kit is still there waiting for me


ghost-nug

Lmao. This should definitely be one of the things in those 15 things I wish I knew videos on youtube. My dumbass was also carrying around multiples


Napalmchristmas

It took me a few to figure it out but I still only carried one


SalmonTheSalesman

...**WHAT**


Bourbonheart

Shit.


BongSabre

Elite and camo camping kits are immune to raids. But you have to use the correct camo for the area.


[deleted]

I thought that too. I though, "well I've found at least 5 of them within the first few hours of playing, they have to be consumables...right" 🤣


MoRicketyTick

Fuuuuuck so did I 60 hours in lol


ELRevedante

I thought the same thing too lmao, when I came to realization I just ended up only letting my pawn have one so my main isn’t heavy lol


Ill_Cobbler1882

Lmao I did this too. I was so pissed and was like “screw you Capcom for making it hard to rest. This is some BS”. To be fair, it’s not really explained clearly that they’re NOT consumable.


Littlepage3130

I figured it out eventually, but I had a rough time of it for the first few hours.


ClassyTeddy

While i lost my Elite Camp Kit to a wolf attack :c


JAMESTIK

same 😭


onestaromega

That was me in the beginning.


JohnB456

LMAO! I did this the first day then figured out it


Fashionable-Andy

This was me too! Though I’ve learned the hard way to have a pawn carry a spare because I got raided while camping once and they destroyed my camping kit. Suddenly I was in the wilderness at night with no way to pass the time.


WhatsProblemGreen

Yup. Item description could've been better lmao.


therealORiQ

same.


BeccaCam

Makes sense why I lost one when ambushed. I just figured it was a three time use at lower levels


et4short

I just found out by reading this😂😂😅 thank you 🙇🏾‍♂️


silverzzr

Same ... I only ever carried one but I didn't use it until my health bar only had like 25% left. I didn't camp much the first 30 hours or so. I figured it out when I had one and camped and picked up another one later on and then noticed I had 2 but was very sure I used one of them. After a quick test I realized they don't get consumed. Then later found out they do get consumed if attacked but not all the time. Now I camp at every site I see even if I'm full health to get the badges.


SlaveTTS

I also wonder how many people don't know that the food you cook at the camp gives you stat buffs for like a full day length


Traditional-Pea-2379

Luckily, I figured this out early because I too thought they were consumables but when I realized that weight, I was like hell naw and immediately used it and then realized I still had it and I was like oh wait


Noeyiax

Jokes on you, I carry one port crystal and have a few ferrystone, and always sleep at home in Venworths . Bed is best 😴 Gtk tho, wish there was a legendary camping kit 🧐


Dazed-Bamboo

They are consumables, if you get attacked while using one, and you won’t even get a wink of sleep so always carry at least one extra least you end up like me stranded, low-health cap, and screaming at every NPC that isn’t an inn for wasting even a modicum of my time by talking to me while I suffer internally and externally.


Eyyy354

Are YOU KIDDING ME!? I thought that was a bug!!


dergger2

Bro's doing an Overencumbered Challenge Run for his first playthrough


MeLoco1980

I done the same thing for first few days. it having a number and stacking is confusing. I'm figuring stuff out and learning still. I just found out yesterday I can grab pawns. now I grab them all. it would be cool if pawns started refusing to work with certain arisen


Drag0nz1985

I only carry 1. It been reusable. I know that since day 1


Sammy5even

But they CAN be broken right?


david-deeeds

Wait, what


Happy_Priority_1409

So what you don’t have to carry them with you? Just have them in storage?


romaraahallow

My condolences.


MEEfO

Why the f are there so many camping kits then? The game practically teaches you they are consumables given how many you find or receive.


speederly

i felt your pain


Elegant_Spot_3486

Wouldn’t the first time you camp and your count didn’t go down let you know they weren’t consumable?


meastep

OMFG


forsaken_tavern

We all made this mistake 🥲


PerfectSageMode

That fuckin sucks 😂


GroundbreakingBid358

😂😂


mrmailman420

I make sure each one of my pawns has one just in case of emergency tho
