Camp Leveling [ ]

«Every camp has a level that can be increased using experience points (XP). You can earn XP by fighting infected or by finishing quests.

Raising a camp’s level mainly lets you build better and better structures and defenses. On the other hand, the higher the level of the camp, tougher and more dangerous the infected in the zone become.

Your camp’s level cap increases in stages. Each time you reach a stage, progress is blocked».

To upgrade your camp to the next stage, you need to complete the Kovac challenge at the Pylon building.

Building Your Base [ ]

PS.: You find a nice guide (all of date, maybe, but still good) at this link. There you can jump to «Basics: Spots for camps» and find a vast pool of places.
