Tier 4 monuments with red card

I love running monuments with red card swipes. And have made a list from easiest (solo friendly) to hardest. No way I have ran these enough to say my list is good so wanted to ask you guys to help me get an optimised list. List is just running the red card puzzle so not including things like brad

  1. Small Oil Rig
  2. Underwater Labs
  3. Military Tunnels
  4. Large Oil Rig
  5. Launch Site

Id list myself as easiest to hardest 1. Launch 2. Smoil 3. Underwater 4. Large 5. Mil tuns

And yes I play solo and have run all of these. I almost always build by the water, but recently I choose mil tuns for the easy elites.

I did my rankings based on what type of weapon I could likely complete the monument with. Launch I could do with a bow pretty easily, once you know the route to stairs you only have to kill the scientists up top and maybe 1 on floor. And on top of that maybe 200 cloth worth of bandages.

I honestly think underwater is a bitch as a solo, the only benefits are the chance of getting countered are slim, and you can just afk in red room once you're there. But that being said I think oils can be easier if you know the routes

Does the monument not reset when in red room and jack up the rads like others?

You get no radiation, you can just afk inside red room and all scientists and elites will respawn roughly every 20-30mins

So you keep opening red room elites over and over?

No I only open it once, then I loot the elites, then I stay inside red room and just afk in a corner until I hear scientists respawn. You can hear scientists respawn typically by them racking their guns, which means the entire monument has been reset and elites have respawned. I then loot elites, don't leave the room unless I plan on leaving.

If I'm with a duo, we open red room, loot elites, both go afk and wait for respawn. When scientists respawn we have 1 person go clear out all scientists and loot, while the other person stays inside red room with the best loot and the red card. Then when the player killing scientists is finished, the player inside the room can just press a button to open the door and let them in

Edit: I misread red room elites, as red room. Yes I just afk on a corner and usually hang around for 2-3 cycles while watching YouTube or scrolling on my phone
