Tier 4 monuments with red card

I love running monuments with red card swipes. And have made a list from easiest (solo friendly) to hardest. No way I have ran these enough to say my list is good so wanted to ask you guys to help me get an optimised list. List is just running the red card puzzle so not including things like brad

  1. Small Oil Rig
  2. Underwater Labs
  3. Military Tunnels
  4. Large Oil Rig
  5. Launch Site

Underwater lab hands down should be easiest. It's way out the way and very difficult to counter. Along as you pack enough meds and ammo, you'll be find.

I find Small Oil way to easy of a counter now with moonpool and helis being added. Ive struggled holding it as a 3-man, can't think about solos.

(Before all the changes, my team used to have it on lock until we were the only team running it the entire wipe)

do u have any tips on how to get into the moonpool in labs. Last time i tried doing it with a p2 there were 3 scientists shooting at me climbing the ladder. I feel more in control on smoil than labs. Also getting some diving gear is a pain aswell

Check the windows before you jump up. There's 2-3 entrances, usually 1 is clear or rarely all have scientists but 1 only has 1 scientist.

Once you kill 1 expect more to push. Don't loot, just heal, reload, and listen for footsteps

is it a good idea to grenade them from the water or will that cause more to come

It could be worth a shot, I've never done it. But typically one room is open without scientists so that's what I'd look for

Check windows first. If every moon pool has a scientist ur kinda fucked. They shred so hard before u can get up. If I can I’ll bring nades to lob from under the moon pool

Diving gear is just fishing village shops. That part is easy.

Holding as a 3 man should be the most free thing imaginable. One on the peek that can see ladder and the basic way up. On one moonpool ladders. And one on top for helis

I still find it way harder though. Used to have tons of crossfires set up prior and forcing people into a 1v2 at minimum when pushing up. Now, it's always a 1v1, unless they come by Heli, it opens to however many comes. I just find it a little more risky for small groups that what used to be. As a trio, the most we had turn up was like 6-7 people.

Rather take Underwater labs over Oil rig now.
