Solo Stealth Resource Farming Guide
Solo farming is primarily about avoiding detection rather than winning fights. Since escaping a determined hunter is difficult, successful runs rely on careful movement, smart route planning, and minimizing your exposure.
Understand the Day and Night Cycle
The day/night cycle heavily affects visibility.
- Daytime: Approximately 27 minutes.
- Nighttime: Approximately 10 minutes.
During the day, players can spot Trampers from long distances, especially from elevated terrain. This makes daytime the most dangerous period for traveling.
At night, visibility drops dramatically, making it much harder for both you and other players to detect each other unless flares are used.
Travel at Night, Farm During the Day
A reliable solo strategy is to separate traveling from looting.
At night:
- Use Energy Rods to quickly move between areas.
- Park your Trampler in a concealed location.
- Shut off the engine to reduce your presence.
During the day:
- Farm nearby POIs on foot.
- Constantly watch for approaching players.
- Avoid entering POIs at night, since reduced visibility makes it much easier for enemies to ambush you.
Hide Your Trampler
Never leave your Trampler in an obvious location.
Good hiding spots include:
- Beside tall canyon walls.
- Inside forests.
- Behind terrain that blocks line of sight.
Keeping your vehicle hidden reduces the chance of attracting players while you explore on foot.
If you’re not confident in PvP, avoid bringing your Trampler directly into contested areas.
A safer approach is:
- Hide your Trampler outside the POI.
- Enter on foot.
- Collect loot.
- Store resource boxes in a location hidden from Ironclad watchtowers.
- Return with your Trampler only when it’s time to load everything and leave.
This minimizes the chance of your vehicle being discovered during the farming process.
Escaping Pursuers
A standard Trampler reaches roughly 50 km/h, with temporary boosts above 70 km/h using Energy Rods.
Maneuverability improves acceleration rather than top speed.
Testing suggests:
- Around 8 maneuverability: approximately 30 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 50 km/h.
- Around 100 maneuverability: approximately 15 seconds to reach 50 km/h.
The biggest acceleration improvements occur when increasing maneuverability from very low values. Above roughly 40 maneuverability, the gains become much smaller.
Keep in mind:
- Running out of Energy Rods greatly reduces your escape options.
- Damaged legs make escaping significantly more difficult.
- Front-mounted cannons allow pursuers to slow you if you expose your rear while fleeing.
Terrain can still be used to escape:
- Let Ironclads obstruct pursuing players.
- Drive through forests and tight terrain where skilled maneuvering becomes an advantage.
Farm the Map Border
Many solo players focus on the outer edges of the map where player traffic is lighter.
A common strategy is:
- Loot ships and smaller locations near the border.
- Accumulate money, ammunition, and basic supplies.
- Visit only one worthwhile POI before extracting.
This reduces the number of player encounters while maintaining steady profits.
Run Cheap Loadouts
For consistent solo farming, inexpensive equipment minimizes the cost of dying.
A typical budget setup includes:
- A basic Trampler (around 200–300 Scrap value).
- Rusty cannon.
- Small supply of cannon ammunition.
- Pistol or revolver.
- Green jacket.
Enter the match with an extraction point in mind and loot only high-value locations along your route instead of clearing every POI.
Prioritize Valuable Loot Locations
Learning which locations consistently contain valuable loot greatly improves efficiency.
Experienced players often identify:
- Military ships.
- Boats with red doors.
- Other recognizable high-value landmarks.
Target these locations selectively rather than farming every structure you encounter.
If possible, time your extraction so that the final approach occurs during nighttime. Reduced visibility lowers the chance of being spotted or intercepted during the most important part of the run.
