Why there are no cameras?

Depending on the map and game mode, some or all cameras are not available from the start, but must first be unlocked by upgrading.

If no cameras are available, the camera screen will display “No cameras found”.

Destruction and repair

Destroy

Enemies can destroy cameras by hitting the camera with a melee weapon or shooting it with a bow. The camera then explodes and can no longer be used. Players who are currently using the camera will be kicked out of it.

Repair

Cameras can be repaired by the castle crew using a replacement camera. These can - depending on the map and gamemode - be bought (in conquest, the Tool Seller sells them).

Right-clicking with the repalcement camera onto the broken camera will repair the camera.

For some cameras, you might need to get creative ideas how to access them.

A working camera looks like this:

Removing players from cameras

To get a player out of a camera, push that player that's standing in front of the camera. The player will then leave the camera and you can kill them if you want to.

Please note that you can't see some armor parts of that player while they is using the camera.
