Failed Again Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Fast travel post- worth it ? My play style is solo Hunting/fishing Stranger missions showdowns Free roam events Defensive style player is the travel $-cost from base camp- relative to prices at in game Travel posts?

slohbur Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Prices are the same as the normal travel posts, in towns. It also opens the possibility to fast travel to camp, from towns. If it's worth the money? Well, depends where you hunt and if you hang around your camp a lot. If you hunt a lot around Ambarino, having a camp with a travel post could be useful as the travel posts are scarce up there. You can also save a few bucks with it if you want to travel to the other end of the map - if you have your camp already set up close to a travel post, go to said travel post, then simply set up a new camp where you want to go, and quickly open the travel post menu and fast travel to your camp: the price should stay at $1. You still have to pay for the camp fees, but if the ride costs more than 10 bucks, you are already saving money. Edit: The prices do change based on the location of the camp. So if you're close to Valentine, the cost would be cheaper, than using the fast travel at Emerald Ranch. But for towns far away from your camp, prices stay relatively the same.

wehweh01 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I use my camp a lot. I tend to fast travel to camp to restock ammo and tonics. That way I'm working on my trade award for the Collection box. Whenever I'm at camp for supplies I always craft whatever tonics I can. Rinse and repeat. Winonas, Ronin Ogami, Rev. Gnash and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicBuffalo Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) in my opinion it is not worth it, it only unlocks the ability to fast travel out of the camp. but what the hell else are you going to spend your money on. a bunch of clothes that you cannot wear....cause you can only change 3 outfits, which becomes 2 the second you lose your hat. The best tent is better so every time you find a new session, your cores are not drained.

Ronin Ogami Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I fully upgraded my entire camp, & have never had a reason to regret it. It gives me more reason TO use my camp, & the fast travel post makes a lot of missions & some dailies a breeze. Failed Again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxwolfe Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 It's totally worth it, depending on where you are on the map it works out great calling the camp or heading to it if nearby to use the fast travel post. If anything I wish I bought it sooner. Winonas, RuningKikFukSlap, Ronin Ogami and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbone Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) I never use my camp except to switch back and forth from the cheapest upgrade for the daily challenge. My camp will be used when i can spawn there at the start of a session and i can fast travel to and from during play. For $750 the fast travel purchase should offer free fast travel or no more than a dollar or two per use. Offer that and i might even buy Crapps a spiffy outfit.

Foxwolfe Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I really don't get peoples complaints about the fast travel prices, I feel broke half the time and it's never an issue for me nor have they ever bothered me since they lowered the prices on them. I get the complaint about not being able to spawn into your camp, that seems like a no brainer given it's currently our only "residence". Also obviously there's not a lot to do there but I do refill my cores there quite a bit and enjoy getting my mail 95% of the time from my camp box so I can slowly work towards that award. While I do enjoy going to my camp and having it at certain locations it feels kinda empty, not literally but like figuratively, hollow. I want it to feel more substantial, more purposeful. Hopefully that all makes sense. Winonas and Ronin Ogami 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware you could fast travel to it, without one. Then again I had a fast travel post early on.

Failed Again Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Thanks -- ALL Also Post is on sale for 525 I think Another question. Why not just login to another free roam area Verses pay for fast tavel more precise landings? Edited June 9, 2019 by Failed Again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicBuffalo Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) For me, the travel post is pretty much not worth it because I have really resisted spending money on stuff that can be done for free. I would rather ride from St. Denis to Tumbleweed and see what happens on the way than simply fast travel there. Although I have used fast travel, I always get that cheap skate urge and debate whether I should just find a new session. As stated the fast travel option to your camp is available from day 1, but going out of camp isnt from say great plains to st denis, but if you are that set on fast travel the locations on the map...it seems like you could just ride to a near by travel post. Personal preference aside, I keep my camp in Great Plains as it is the best location. I have all of the spawns for crafting memorized and there is everything besides a gun smith in the general area. I actually have the post, but I think I have used it twice cause you still have to pay to go out. Moving the camp is hit or miss for me because sometimes it just will not spawn in the area. But keeping in one place has solved that bug for me..sometimes the camp will not spawn even after several attempts. The cost of spawning are another stupid cost of camp system which keeps a cheap skate like me from ever moving it to another area.

As an added bonus as you mentioned there's more precision and less randomness. Edited June 9, 2019 by Foxwolfe Failed Again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
