How to Extract in SAND: Raiders of Sophie

How to Find Extraction Points

When you first drop in, there are no extraction points on the map - they don't exist at the start. You have to wait for the second round, when the second storm circle appears and starts closing toward the center. That gives you time to explore the outer edges for loot before pushing inward, closer to other players.

Once the second round begins, multiple door icons appear across the map. You can see them while driving your walker or by pulling out your pocket map. Those door icons are the extraction points - head to any of them to start the process.

How Extraction Works

1. 1Reach the radio towerEach extraction point is a radio tower. When you arrive, a HUD icon marks its exact location.
2. 2Call the rescue shipClimb to the top and interact with the small radio to call the rescue ship to your position.
3. 3Wait out the timerThe ship takes time to arrive - a timer at the top of your screen counts down until it's overhead.
4. 4Grab the ropeWhen it arrives, it lifts your walker first, then drops a rope. Exit your walker and grab the rope to leave - you keep your walker and everything you looted.
