Sand: Raiders of Sophie Guide to Finding Mechanical Parts
Mechanical Parts in Sand: Raiders of Sophie are a must-have resource if you want to keep your Tramplers running—whether that means building new ones or improving the ones you already own. These components are tucked inside boxes scattered across the map’s landmarks, so you’ll often stumble upon them naturally while looting. Below is a straightforward rundown of where to find Mechanical Parts in Sand: Raiders of Sophie, plus exactly how to use them.
In Sand: Raiders of Sophie, extraction is a core loop. After you’ve gathered loot, you’ll need to use one of the evacuation zones to secure everything you collected.
How to Get Mechanical Parts in Sand: Raiders of Sophie
There are two main ways to obtain Mechanical Parts in Sand: Raiders of Sophie. The first is the simplest: loot them. Visit a variety of landmarks (POIs), with a particular focus on abandoned towns and factories, while steering clear of forts. As you explore, keep an eye out for a cube-shaped box marked with a cogwheel symbol, known as a Parts Crate.
Every Parts Crate will include Mechanical Parts, and it may also contain other resources you’ll need to craft and upgrade your Trampler and its weapon systems (cannons). These crates typically come in three rarity tiers: Brown Parts Crate (Common), Green Parts Crate (Rare), and Red Parts Crate (Very Rare/High-End). In general, higher rarity means you’ll receive a larger amount of Mechanical Parts along with additional valuable crafting materials.
If you’re trying to stock up quickly without risking another match, Sand: Raiders of Sophie also lets you buy Mechanical Parts in the shop. You can purchase one Mechanical Component for the cost of 2 Crowns, and you can buy as many as 10,000 Mechanical Parts before the store inventory refreshes.
Because Mechanical Parts are spread across landmarks in plenty, the shop option should be treated as an emergency tool—use it only when you’re running seriously low and need a rapid turnaround.
How to Use Mechanical Parts in Sand: Raiders of Sophie
Mechanical Parts in Sand: Raiders of Sophie have a single purpose: crafting Trampler blueprints and assembling their different components. A basic Trampler costs 295 Mechanical Parts, though you can modify the design and add extra cabins or other facilities—just note that expanding your build requires spending additional Mechanical Parts each time.
What Should You Do If You Run Out of Mechanical Parts in Sand: Raiders of Sophie?
When I first started playing Sand: Raiders of Sophie, I lost track of how many Tramplers went down due to rubber-banding, unexpected disconnections, and plain lack of experience. Because the game’s learning curve is steep, you may find yourself burning through Mechanical Parts after each failed raid—until you eventually run out.
And because you can’t deploy into a raid without a Trampler, being out of parts can effectively lock you out of continuing. If you’re stuck in that spot and don’t have enough Crowns to craft another Trampler, the fix is to create a new character.
From the lobby, open the “Change Character” menu to spin up a fresh character that starts with initial supplies. Be sure to delete your previous character, since it takes about 17 hours for it to depart and free the character slot. You can maintain up to three characters, letting you begin a new run in Sand: Raiders of Sophie without worrying about the soft-lock situation caused by running out.
