Camp Visibility

Camp Visibility is a gameplay mechanic in Help Will Come Tomorrow. If your camp has a high camp visibility with an adjacent renegade on the map, an event may trigger which could potentially lead to a Game Over. This is a risk with the spotted event, but there is also an oppurtunity to kill and loot a renegade. Being spotted by more than 1 renegade will likely lead to a game over.

The Camp Visibility bar at the top of the camp screen can be scrolled over for further details.

Methods for reducing camp visibility include: Lowering the heat on your Campfire by clicking the minus sign. building the camouflage upgrade in the Palisade, or getting survivors lost in an expedition (this last one is generally not reccomended).

Weather and other events may affect Camp Visibility, but these are outside of the player's control.

As lowering the campfire fuel levels also decreases heat available to survivors, balancing the risks of cold and camp visibility are risks the player needs to weigh against one another. Increasing campfire fuel on stormy days may be safer than on clear days.

 Spoilers Ahead 

The camp visibility bar will become redundant during all the endgame scenarios, which take place between days 17 to 25. During the Shatun and Wind of the Damned scenarios, the renegades are gone, and the campfire can receive as much fuel as you like. During the Final Showdown scenario, your campfire is shut off by default.
