Campers can be really frustrating to deal with in games. They find a safe hiding spot, set up there, and try to pick people off as they pass by. It can feel like one of the most annoying playstyles out there.

But if we’re honest, the real issue often lies with us. Campers wouldn’t be successful if we didn’t keep going back to their spots. Think about it, if we know the camper is in a fortified position and likely to get us first, why do we keep returning?

It’s usually pride, the desire for revenge, or our ego pushing us. Then we get frustrated when the camper keeps getting easy kills. But really, we keep giving them that chance.

The smarter move is to shift to a different location or try approaching from another angle. Coming back to the same spot and expecting a different outcome just hands campers free kills.

Swallow your pride, accept the loss, and move on. Otherwise, you’re likely to give them multiple easy kills in a row. It’s tough, and I know the feeling. I often want to get revenge on campers too and usually end up dying several times because of it.

We all know this works, so take the loss and keep going. Your K/D will thank you!
