Before We Get Started

TTo begin your Sandbike journey, you must meet one of these prerequisites:

  • Complete the first Trial mission, which unlocks the Sandbike crafting quest.
  • OR, if you selected Unlocked Researched Menu (Advanced) at the start, you can access the schematic immediately.

Unlock Cost: The Sandbike Mk1 Assembly schematic requires 8 Intel Points in the research tree.


Resources You’ll Need

Before building, gather the following key materials:

How to Get Copper Ingots

  1. Mine Copper Ore in the Haga Basin South region using an Improvised Cutteray.
  2. Build a Small Ore Refinery at your base.
  3. Insert the Copper Ore and fuel it with wood or biomass.
  4. Wait for the process to refine your Copper Ingots.

Where to Find Particle Capacitors & Advanced Servoks

Head to Imperial Testing Station #2, located East of the Griffin’s Reach Trade Post. Loot all the containers inside—one run should provide enough components for your Sandbike, and you can always return for more.

Tip: Use Survey Probes to uncover and navigate this area easily.
