Cairn How To Set Up Tent Guide

Setting up a tent in Cairn is done by interacting with specific rock faces and placing a piton to create a camp spot. Once placed, the tent becomes your safe space for cooking, checking gear, and making small repairs. It is simple, fast, and something you will use often.

How To Set Up A Tent In Cairn

To place a tent, approach a flat rock face that allows interaction. Select the rock face, then choose the piton option when prompted. This anchors the tent and opens the camp interior.

Where Tents Can Be Placed

Not every wall works for tents. The surface needs to be stable and clearly interactable. If the option does not appear, the rock face is not valid.

What You Can Do Inside The Tent

The tent acts as a utility hub rather than just a rest spot.

  • Cook food by combining water and food

  • Check finger tape and see its condition

  • Repair pitons if they are worn

  • Safely manage gear and inventory

It is a quiet break from climbing and a good moment to reset.

Common Mistakes When Trying To Place A Tent

Some players expect the tent to be placed anywhere. The game requires the correct rock face and the piton action. If nothing happens, reposition slightly and try again.

Final Blurb

Setting up a tent in Cairn is quick once you know what to look for. Find the right rock face, place a piton, and your camp is ready. It is one of the most useful systems in the game and worth using often.
