Sand Raiders
Sand Raiders: After a patch
Fighting on someone else’s ridge is how convoys vanish. Desert raid pace — vehicles, heat, and contested loot. This page stays on after a patch so you can use it in the next session.
After a patch
Dunes, outposts, and long sightlines. Dust hides and betrays. Patch day punishes autopilot more than new players.
Take high ground that you can leave. Pretty dunes with no reverse are traps.
Loot after you have an exit vector, not in the middle of the road.
Keep the focus on fuel, high ground, and extract before night panic. If the first two minutes are messy, reset before you stack another fight.
What to re-learn first
Overextending a convoy. Fighting on someone else’s ridge.
If a fight goes long, you are advertising to the next raid group.
When the space is bad, leave. Sand Raiders punishes people who stay because they already spent ammo.
A simple rule: 1. Take high ground that you can leave. Pretty dunes with no reverse are traps. 2. Loot after you have an exit vector, not in the middle of the road. 3. If a fight goes long, you are advertising to the next raid group.
Do not copy last season blindly
The usual Sand Raiders mistakes are Parking in a sightline to “quickly” repair.; Chasing into a canyon you did not scout.; Night-driving without a plan for extract..
Patch days change timings. Recheck your drop, extract, site, or loadout before you copy last week’s VOD.
If you only remember one thing: fuel, high ground, and extract before night panic.
