A camper check is the deliberate scan players do in a multiplayer game before moving through a vulnerable area — checking common hiding spots, corners, rooftops, and doorways for anyone sitting in wait to get an easy kill. It's disciplined, slightly paranoid, and absolutely necessary against anyone who's known for camping. Outside gaming, the phrase has leaked into everyday use to describe checking your surroundings for someone who's waiting to catch you off guard, literally or socially.
Before I pushed that lane, I did a full camper check — wasn't about to get headshot twice.
