Sand: Raiders Of Sophie - Known Bugs, Crashes & Community Fixes
About this game
Sand: Raiders of Sophie is an open world PvPvE extraction shooter set on the fallen desert planet Sophie in an alternate 1910, where you pilot gigantic, fully customizable walking Tramplers that act as both mobile base and war machine. Venture out solo or with a crew from an orbital station, deploy to the dunes, and roam a massive, procedurally generated wasteland of ruined cities, shipwrecks and relics to scavenge loot, weapons, ammo, resources and priceless artifacts. Use the Trampler Editor to design modular builds that match your style, from heavily armored fortresses stacked with turrets to nimble machines built for quick strikes. On expeditions you will fight rival players and supernatural Upiors, manage risk as sandstorms and hostile encounters escalate, and navigate to extract points to escape with your Trampler and spoils intact, or lose it all in the chaos of Sophie.
