1 . Check the spawn spots.  Check the places where the paths meet for campers. 

2 . Note the names.  Friends list the same factions. Bookmark their activity feeds.  You can learn of spawns you didn't know of and see when campers log in/out on the friends list.  Talking to them and finding camp parters/information partners is your call.

3 . Base your camp on where the campers you see are.  Think both defensively and offensively which spawn spot to pick based on what's open vs. what routes appear to be unguarded. 

4 . If you like to gamble and see literally nobody around, think about the multipath spot.

5 . Don't move.

* . If you have a pet, keep that shit on passive.  Pet doing 100% damage = no loot.

* . don't pvp.  all you need to do is be distracted for a moment, a spawn happens and someone beats you to the tag.
