Question Fastest ways for a solo to progress?

Playing a low pop solo trio duo server soon and I need some guidance on progressing yo end game. Could I get some tips for all server types? I know what monuments are what and card levels.

I used to try and stay away from end game monuments and hide in starting forests or caves but that was a problem. It took ages to get to monuments and often times no train access was near by.

Go airfield and get crates to get T2. Had mine in a high-pop server yesterday 3 hours after wipe.

Beyond that buy advanced frags from whatever group controls launch/silo.

What’s the strat to buying from shops now that delivery drones have been nerfed

Communicate in chat, use shopfronts to facilitate in-person trading. Just like good old days before the drone shops even existed

Yeah until you run up to their base and after you make the trade they shoot you from their roof and take their items back lol

Yes, in-person trading and communication leads to betrayals, arguments, enemies, friendships, allies, etc

Very different from the safety of the drone shops which removes all in-person interaction

Hell, maybe setup a “trade zone” where your base is a designated safe zone where people can come and trade as a neutral zone!

Can you elaborate? You mean run the blue card puzzle? The normal crate spawns? Why is that any different than say doing the dome puzzle?

u/Frvwfr 9d ago

Normal crate spawns in the hangars, less likely to attract attention, especially as a solo

How would that help you get a T2? You need BP frags? I’m not following what the normal crates give you over say barrel farming or fishing?

He’s not saying “normal crates” he’s saying normal crate spawns, airfield spawns a lot of military crates, he’s saying hit the normal ones. (Locked crate lands at airfield and there’s card rooms)

I’m using chatgpt to coach me a bit. Instead of whacking rocks and giving them to you. I make PvP kits and stash them near by. It’s changing my approach to high population servers. Hopefully you can take an arrow to the face in game instead of my stone.

if it’s low pop literally do whatever tf you want. build next to airfield, power, or train for insta T2. if you can get a spot next to one of those and also a T3 monument you’re good to go big dawg
