I only got on yesterday, so I haven't experimented with CAMP much. How viable is it to fill it with high-level turrets and just plop down your camp in some higher-level area to farm monsters that you wouldn't ordinarily be able to solo?

The turrets don't do much damage or are all that good. Odds are 3 will die tryiing to kill one monster than you can easily deal with with 2 shogun shots in the face. Then you have 3 turrets to repair.

But if you have materials to burn, you can put 8 or 9 around a area, and they help to soak damage so you are not focused by range attacks has much (help defending a position if you are melee user).

In other words: turrets are poo poo.

Having a second account to do shady, malicious and exploitive activities with the game, is justifiably absurd and illegal. This isn't GTA V where you have modded accounts, "breaking" the game as you think you see it is testing Bethesda's patience and actions against how hardcore modding can go. Even at its early stages of Beta.

TAKE. THIS. DOWN.

This is not a modification benefiting the gameplay experience, this is an exploit and a cheat. I can consider this a hack or malicious method of taking an advantage over the game.

You are setting a bad example for the modding community, and I hope you reconsider this before Bethesda begins to take unnecessary action which will sabotage our great modding community.

Until now, I could not fathom a reason why Fallout 76 had been made. Now I get it. The entire reason Bethesda made this steaming turd is to create a platform where they can justify banning mods, so they can monetize them in the future.

The bar is set very low. Like.. we have seen games where people killed everyone on the server by pressing a key.
And that with good games with a solid architecture. Not one that trust the clientside and use unencrypted network traffic.
What the future await us?

Being on PS4 means I will experience less of these things, has people can't change files. It will just read about it on the internets. (if people don't use some proxy to modifty the packets on the fly, or something like that).

...Well I've got to put something!

I'm having trouble reading all the widely varying rewiews from "76 fkn rocks" down to "76 is a steaming turd poo poo game". It seems like there are far more bad reactions and reviews on 76 floating around Youtube, then there are good ones.
I read them with a grain of salt, but I have a better time trusting goons. Is it too early still to know if the game is looking really good, like it will be a hit? Or is it actually kind of under-whelming and not that great where it stands today?

It�s still pretty divisive but seems to boil down to what you are looking for out of it IMO.

Camp A is looking for it to be a good Fallout Destiny Online Murder Simulator. They are disappointed.

Camp B is looking for the next big Fallout game in the franchise. They are disappointed.

Camp C is looking to play what boils down to a big Fallout 4 expansion with an online experience. They think it�s decent. (Disclosure - I am in this camp)

Camp D want to burn it all to the ground. They are salivating at the possibilities.

The game is an absolute pile of poo poo, and to be clear, the beta is the full game. If you're at all curious, go ahead and grab a beta key from PGS or reddit, there are still eight hours over two days to try it. Bethesda made the mistake of making them easy to get, ensuring everyone can play this game and find out what it's like. You'll either wind up in the tiny minority that thinks it's fun or you'll think it's a piece of poo poo, but either way your curiosity will be satisfied.
