SAND Raiders of Sophie Tier Lists Crew Fights And Trampler Fights Split The Gear Choice

Hand weapons and mounted guns solve different problems. Rifles, shotguns, and explosives decide ladders, rooms, and exposed decks; 80 mm cannons, autocannons, railguns, and shotgun cannons decide whether another Trampler reaches boarding range. The first choice is the fight type, not the weapon name.

SAND Raiders of Sophie Tier Lists Use The Weapon Pages By Fight Distance

The hand-weapon page is for ladders, decks, and room clears. The turret page is for long sand lanes, armor pressure, and keeping boarders away from the hull. A strong boarding shotgun does not replace a cannon, and a strong cannon does not clear cabins for you.

SAND Raiders of Sophie Tier Lists Loot Priority Starts With Hard-To-Replace Materials

When the hold is tight, Black Boxes, Mechanical Parts, coral, and advanced build materials stay ahead of large valuables. Safe payouts matter, but they come after the pieces that would slow the next build if they were left behind.

SAND Raiders of Sophie Tier Lists FAQ

Which SAND tier list should a new crew read first?

Weapons first for boarding fights, then Trampler turrets if the crew is getting chased in open sand. Loot priority matters once extractions start failing because the hold fills with the wrong items.

Are hand weapons and Trampler turrets ranked together?

No. Hand weapons win boarding fights and on-foot raids; Trampler turrets win vehicle trades. A rifle that clears a ladder does not replace an 80 mm cannon across open sand.

Which ranking helps when the cargo hold is almost full?

Loot priority answers the full-hold problem. It tells the crew which materials should survive the cut when one more Black Box, coral piece, or large valuable competes for the last slot.
