esugg@suggstudio.com 1 Posted August 20, 2012 Tents are a tricky thing. They can be put down on slight inclines sometimes, and sometimes they won't go down on flat surfaces. Here is my process:1. Get into a position where you want to place your tent.2. Go into First person and open your gear tab.3. Activate the tent.4. If it tells you it can't be setup, move slightly to your left, right, forward or backward without leaving your gear tab and try again.5. Continue clicking the tent while you move around until it deploys.Some areas just wont' let you put them down. Sometimes rotating the way the tent faces will help it deploy. Sometimes it goes down after a few tries and sometimes it takes 5 min. Oh, and keep them out of the trees. You wont' be able to get into your tent and if you manage to pack it back up you won't be able to pick the tent up. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmashT 10907 Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Keep spamming the button 50 times while slowly moving around the area. Edited August 20, 2012 by smasht_AU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

novac3721 15 Posted August 20, 2012 Do this Only thing he doesn't mention is that you can accidentally pitch the tent on top of yourself, breaking your legs, knocking you out and maybe killing you. Good luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.Ender. 42 Posted August 20, 2012 why spend all that time pitching a tent when it wont stay the next time you spawn? i lost about 6 tents full of really nice gear and vehicle parts galore. logged onto a different server (same version), logged back in and BAM! everything was literally gone. such a waste.its funny...we spend all this time trying to pitch a tent intentionally, but in highschool and middleschool i was doing it by accident and couldnt help it! ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
