Campers can have any type of weapon loadout and play any type of game mode. Like the Stat-Whore, they aren't usually concerned about the outcome of the game, and fear of dying or being a detriment to the team can often turn any unskilled player into a Camper. They wait in corners or lurk at the edges of a map, engaging unsuspecting players when it's safe to do so, and providing a minimal contribution to the game.

Or, at least, before he moves. And that brings us to:
