SAND: Raiders of Sophie Solo Guide
Solo play in SAND: Raiders of Sophie should be built around information and exit discipline. Without a crew to cover mistakes, every fight, sound cue, and detour needs a reason.
Solo Priorities
- Choose shorter objectives than a full crew would attempt.
- Scout before looting so you do not get trapped while distracted.
- Keep extraction in mind before the run becomes heavy with loot.
- Do not trade supplies for a fight that does not protect your current objective.
When to Avoid a Fight
A solo player should avoid fights that reveal position, consume too much recovery, or pull attention away from the route. If the reward does not clearly improve the run, rotate away and keep the option to extract.
Solo Extraction Rule
Extract earlier than your confidence tells you. In extraction games, most solo losses happen after the run has already become profitable. The moment you think "one more stop" is often the moment to leave.
Solo mindset: the win is not clearing the map. The win is leaving with progress you can repeat.
