Video summaries
Best Trampler Build Guide for Small Crew
A long beginner build walkthrough for small crews. It teaches the unlocks to prepare, where to place steering, reactor, cabins, turrets, storage, doors, and rear defense, then compares a stronger combat layout against a cheaper fallback build.
Best Mid to Late Game Meta Trampler Build
A higher-investment close-range combat build. The lesson is about using upgraded Trampler parts, a battering ram, two forward 40 mm cannons, a top shotgun cannon, and clear crew roles for captain, gunner, and booster.
Crazy Loot Inside the Dreadnaught
A route guide for opening the Dreadnaught black door. It explains the key upgrade chain from green to blue, red, white, and black, then shows what to prioritize inside the Dreadnaught and when to call extraction.
Do Not Miss This Secret Loot
A late Storm Drive loot guide. It teaches players to identify black tarp or umbrella markers with a white crown, then wait for the storm phase that reveals hidden high-value loot under the sand.
Secret Loot from Suspicious Pile of Sand
A hidden stash guide for suspicious sand piles. It explains how to bring rusty shovels, what the sand piles look like, where they tend to appear near small boats, and what reward range to expect.
Trampler build lessons
Small crew starter builds
Compares a stronger small-crew combat build with a cheaper early build. The stronger version prioritizes framed pieces, protected access, three forward guns, rear defense, and extra storage.
Mid to late game ram build
Focuses on close-range pressure with a KFL chassis, tier two cabin and reactor, tier three maneuverability engine, corner cannons, a top shotgun cannon, and a battering ram role.
Crew roles matter
The build notes repeatedly separate captain, top-gunner, and boost or ram duties so every player has a job during a fight instead of crowding one deck.
Protect weak sides
The beginner build calls out left-side and rear exposure. Keep the strongest firing lanes pointed toward the threat and do not let enemies choose the angle.
Secret loot lessons
Suspicious sand piles
Bring a rusty shovel in inventory, then look near small open-world boats for slightly different sand piles with a sparkle. Rewards can range from low rolls to rifles, purple weapons, armor, rockets, and RPG loot.
Late storm tarp markers
In Storm Drive, watch for black tarps or umbrellas marked with a white crown. After the storm closes, the sand pile can reveal higher-quality crates, rare parts, pristine cannons, or experimental-item chances.
Dreadnaught black door
The key route upgrades green to blue at Kaiserplatz, blue to red at Miersburg port, red to white at the Segan bank, then white to black at Fort Istra before opening the Dreadnaught door.
Extraction timing
The Dreadnaught notes recommend clearing danger first, looting quickly, watching for Ironclads, and calling extraction with time left instead of waiting for the storm to decide.
How to use these notes
- Use the notes to pick which full video answers your current question.
- Confirm any exact spawn, loot roll, or module requirement in the current Early Access build.
- Treat high-value loot routes as contested. A route that pays well also attracts other crews.
- Send corrections with a video timestamp, patch date, and screenshot if a step changes.
Community Video Guides
Use these videos to see routes and fights in motion. Because Early Access can change loot and routes, confirm details in your current patch before risking cargo.
