I m looking for some tips for perfect camping...how to get highest chances of encounters and if it s a good idea to camp the same square as a city or base are the first questions that comes to my mind..needs to headhunt a couple of guys..Thanks in anticipation for suggestions to come.

Buy 5 mercenaries.  either rocket launcher or hunting rifle or even 5 super sledges melee does wonders.

Go into encounter or sometimes just going into the square with triangle works.  You can't increase chance for people to get sucked into the encounter but you can increase your chance to get people in by camping more populated areas.  my favorite being ncr for obvious reasons.

Unless your a sniper with super cripples then it's not a good idea to camp by yourself...

It's also very good to camp with a car.  I often use a buggy, and bring mercs from tent after i make the location.  This way if you die you can just come back.  Chances are the guy who killed you is either dead or ran away.

Hm,but what about the real time-tb settings..?Do they increase the possibility to be stuck in the encounter..?Any of them is a better choice than the other..?

God I just put it on both.  Why?  Because people who are in TB only enter TB.  People who pick RT only enter RT.  So it's kind of confusing.  best bet = Both

Both = RT  (on default like npc encounters)   But allows you to enter tb and rt encounters.  I wonder if it affects both for people travelling with just either or, but i really can't tell you for sure.

Wonder how high is the chance that a guy passing through your squares effectively meet you.

Almost 100% chance he will meet your encounter,  (from my experience anyways) but the chance to be forced into it or given the choice is dependant on his/her outdoorsman.

If mercs are too expensive for you try slaves for example 5 homesteader females equipped with 223 pistol just owns for traps(compared to other slaves) they have no armor but if you face 1-3 guys 223 pistols will do the job anyway thus female homesteaders have 101 hp and that is a lot for a slave , i have a big gunner slaver the rocket launcher or lsw compliments the 223 pistols great. Then again you can equip the bitches with grenades it's like omg eternal knockdown , or if you really want to have fun get plasma grenades , slave children and trap with them the guys won't even realize what hit them before they die.

Weird fun stuff i haven't tried yet.

Cheap melee mercs with super cattle prods , or unarmed with super power fists!
Dogs equipped with dynamite( not sure if this is possible ) , dynodogs or smthing ?

Dogs equipped with dynamite( not sure if this is possible ) , dynodogs or smthing ?

timing is an issue, set the timer right you need to consider reaction time of people dropping into encounter, can you effectively plant the bomb on dog? is your traps skill high enough? if not how much dynamite are you going to need to take out your target? how much hp and what armour is your target wearing? how long does the dog have to run to the target?

I just cant imagine somebody pulling this off correctly in a few seconds of somebody dropping into trap encounter. unless of course you dont mean in trap encounter but most if not all of those still apply.

Yeah dynodogs won't do good in traps for some reno fights would be perfect.

[irony]Very intredasting and ORIGINAL idea Triplerage.[/irony]

You could be equipped with the dynamite as it does not require any special skill, just running straight towards enemy. Exploding dogs look sad and make me cry.

About topic it is good to stay between city and mine.

Try the ncr or boneyard spawn square.
