Encampment jobs
Encampment jobs are the work the friendly camps hand out: bounties, hostage rescues and enemy camp clears. Each one pays trust and credits to the camp that posted it.

Good to know
- Friendly camps that post work include Copeland's Camp, Hot Springs, Iron Mike's Camp and Wizard Island.
- Trust and credits go to whichever camp gave you the job, so pick jobs from the camp whose vendor you want to level.
- Named jobs also show up in the Bounty Hunter, Protecting The Weak and Marauder Camp Hunter storylines.
- Enemy camps you may be sent to are held by Marauders, Drifters, Anarchists or Rippers.
- Ambush CampAmbush Camps are hostile survivor camps you clear for the Ambush Camp Hunter storyline. There are 14 across the map, each paying XP, Trust and credits to a nearby camp, and each bunker becomes a fast travel point.
Copeland's CampCopeland's Camp is Mark Copeland's encampment on Peaceful Lake in the Cascade, and your first real base. Go here for bounties, ammo and the bike upgrades that open the map, starting with Nitrous I and Saddlebags I.- Diamond LakeDiamond Lake is a Deschutes County Militia forward base in the north of Crater Lake and one of the five main encampments. It is the paymaster for Highway 97, so most southern Hordes, checkpoints and infestations earn Trust here.
- EncampmentsEncampments are the five friendly survivor camps: Copeland's Camp, Hot Springs, Iron Mike's Camp, Diamond Lake and Wizard Island. Each has its own Trust and credits, so where you sell and who you work for decides what gear you unlock.
Hot SpringsHot Springs is Ada Tucker's work camp in Belknap, set in an old luxury resort on a dormant volcano. Go here for Alkai Turner's weapons and Belknap jobs, but expect hard rules: Tucker runs it with guards and forced labor.- Iron Mike's CampIron Mike's Camp, also called the Lost Lake Settlement, is the encampment at the old Lost Lake resort. It becomes your home base mid-story, and its mechanic sells some of the best bike parts in the game.
- Wizard IslandWizard Island sits in the middle of Crater Lake and is the Deschutes County Militia's main base. You work for Colonel Garret here, with Dee's gun shop and Caleb Tomlinson's garage as the draw.
