Read Official NoticeSAND Raiders of Sophie Beginner Guide
SAND: Raiders of Sophie is built around Tramplers, giant customizable walking bases that act as transport, storage, protection, and weapons. Learn the extraction loop before sending your first mechanical home into the desert.
Start from the official platform
Buy and play through Steam Early Access, or use the PlayStation and Xbox store pages for official console listings and wishlists.
Prepare your Trampler
Use the Trampler Editor to build from scratch or prepare a design before deploying. Designs can be saved as blueprints so a destroyed Trampler can be rebuilt.
Choose Voyage or Storm Dive
Use Voyage for lower-stakes exploration and Storm Dive for higher-risk, higher-reward runs with sandstorm pressure.
Go solo or build a crew
Enter alone or team up. Xbox lists online co-op for 2-6 players and online multiplayer for 2-90 players.
Loot cities, ruins, and wrecks
Scavenge the fallen planet Sophie for loot, weapons, ammo, resources, and valuable artifacts while your Trampler stores what you recover.
Survive and extract
Fight PvE threats, avoid or confront rival players, locate your extraction point, and leave with your loot, life, and Trampler intact.
Quick Tips
- Save your Trampler as a blueprint before risking it on a real run.
- Voyage is the safer place to learn loot routes and extraction timing.
- Keep repair kits and storage space ready before pushing deeper for loot.
- Watch for fraudulent playtest invites and follow only the official Discord.
SAND Raiders of Sophie Trampler Builds and Blueprints
Tramplers are the center of SAND: Raiders of Sophie. They work as transport, base, storage, defense platform, and heavy weapon system, so a planned build matters far more than an expensive one.
SAND Raiders of Sophie Weapons and Trampler Parts Tier List
A strong SAND loadout is not just the biggest gun bolted to a walking house, although humanity naturally tried that first. Early crews should prioritize repairs, storage, crew capacity, and reliable Trampler firepower before gambling on rare Dreadnought-only finds or high-risk experimental weapons.
Core Early Priorities
Repair Kits
LowKeeps the Trampler alive during fights and long expeditions.
Repair Kits have 3 charges.
Early Use: Essential
Storage Compartments
LowTurns the Trampler into the crew's main loot storage.
The Trampler acts as the crew's main base, transport, protection, weapon platform, and primary storage.
Early Use: Essential
Crew Rooms
LowLets larger crews deploy together and support heavier builds.
Crew size reaches up to 6 players, but large crews need enough crew rooms on the Trampler.
Early Use: High for teams
Armor Plates
LowAdds survivability against cannon fire, boarding, and long routes.
Armor Plate pricing was tuned upward, making protection a planned investment rather than disposable filler.
Early Use: High
Strong Combat Picks
Mounted Turrets
MediumPrimary Trampler defense and pressure in large fights.
Trampler builds can be stacked with mounted turrets and firepower; Ironclads can drop turrets, but those drops are slightly less frequent.
Early Use: High for crews
Shotgun Cannons
MediumClose-range defense against targets that get too near.
Higher-tier Shotgun Cannons have progressively better spread.
Early Use: High for close fights
80 mm Mounted Cannon
MediumHeavy firepower for decisive cannon pressure.
SAND highlights the 80 mm mounted cannon as a major Trampler weapon.
Early Use: Strong for crews
Experimental Railgun
HighPower weapon for planned shots and coordinated fights.
Experimental Railgun reload time was increased by 0.5 seconds.
Early Use: Strong but demanding
Reliable Support Gear
Autocannons
MediumSustained pressure when the crew needs steadier fire.
A launch fix addressed autocannon fire-rate limitation bypassing.
Early Use: Good
M1866/9 Einzel Breechloader
LowRifle tied to the Server Slam launch reward skin.
Server Slam participants receive an exclusive skin for the M1866/9 "Einzel" Breechloader after buying the game.
Early Use: Good
Smoke Grenade
LowEscape, repositioning, and visual cover during fights.
Smoke Grenades spawn in stacks of 2.
Early Use: Good
Custom Ammo
MediumImproves weapon flexibility when found in rare crates.
Custom Ammo appears more frequently in rare weapon crates.
Early Use: Good once weapons are secured
High-Risk or Situational
WOK Bomb
HighRare high-stakes explosive tied to Dreadnought runs.
WOK Bomb no longer spawns at regular artifact spawn locations and can only be found with a chance on the Dreadnought.
Early Use: Situational
Rare Weapons
HighValuable upgrades that depend on rare crate access.
Rare Weapons have a slightly smaller drop chance from rare weapon crates.
Early Use: Loot-dependent

SAND centers on two expedition styles: Voyage for lower-stakes open-world survival and Storm Dive for higher-risk, battle-royale-style extraction.

SAND Raiders of Sophie Map, Loot, and Extraction
Sophie is a massive procedurally generated world full of cities, ruins, shipwrecks, resources, weapons, artifacts, and extraction pressure. Plan each route around how much cargo your Trampler can protect and how quickly you can leave — loot greed is strongest right before the map reminds you that other players also own guns.
Start from the Trampler Editor
Pre-deployment Trampler build
Storage, protection, crew rooms, and mounted firepower
Underbuilt storage, exposed modules, not enough crew support
Enter with a Trampler that matches your crew size and loot route.
Scavenge Cities and Abandoned Streets
Ruined city areas
Weapons, ammo, resources, and valuable loot
Smoke on the horizon, undead sounds, nearby rival scavengers
Leave once Trampler storage holds enough value to protect.
Check Ruins and Remnants
Ruins, monuments, and fallen-world remains
Resources, artifacts, and route value between larger POIs
Long exposure, unclear sightlines, crew spread too far
Use ruins as controlled stops rather than endless detours.
Loot Shipwrecks Carefully
Shipwreck points of interest
Higher-value salvage, weapons, and resources
Other crews converging, limited escape paths, distant movement
Treat shipwrecks as planned stops and keep an exit route ready.
Understand Dreadnought Risk
Dreadnought location
Special high-risk loot such as WOK Bomb chance
PvP concentration, storm pressure, final extraction traffic
Only commit with enough firepower, repairs, and storage to justify the risk.
Extract Before the Run Turns Bad
Extraction points and final extraction areas
Securing resources, artifacts, weapons, life, and Trampler
Damaged Trampler, low repairs, full cargo, nearby cannon fire
Voyage lets you choose when to finish; Storm Dive allows extraction before the storm hits center.
