Overview

In-game description

An instant camera. Take photos with primary fire, zoom in and out with secondary fire, and change focus mode with reload.

Its whole job is a picture on your wall. Unlike the screenshot camera, this one prints a photo into your inventory, and that photo can hang in a frame inside the base. So it comes out on a quiet evening, when the doors are shut and the clan wants a group shot.

The controls come from the game's own text. LMB takes the shot, RMB zooms in and out, and R switches the focus mode, which helps when your friends stand close and the base sits far behind them.

Tip

Pick the frame for the shot. A portrait photo frame suits one player posing at the door, a large photo frame fits the whole group in front of the compound.

The craft is one gear plus 75 metal fragments, with no bench and no research, since every player knows it from the start. Early in a wipe that gear belongs in things that keep you alive, so treat the camera as a mid-wipe hobby.
