LV secure dome. its super easy to loot colony rapidly, you can tame lizzy and put them inside so if xenos get in lizzy psychos out on them, and its R-wall with 1 way in and out to spam with molo. further, if you are dying, you’re right by the LZ. You want to go engi surv to get 20 plasteel and weld cades.

Solaris PMC. You get M41As or better with full ammo and armor, and underbarrel flamers. Alongside extra metal loot in the other crashed ship. The only ones who fail this are the ones who try to go solo and get capped by 5 drones.

Security is the easiest type of survivor although you do need someone who can build and weld + probably a Medic. Easiest insert is easily FORECON and PMC, PMC is unlosable as long as you don’t Hive Dive but that is dependent on who rolls with you.
Easiest map is either CC because all the loot is predefined and everyone is rolling for the FORECON experience or LV with the easy loot and access to flamers and several good buildings to hold.

550 hour survivor here.
Solaris PMC either North caves or Garage hold. The easiest being of course Forecon. Forecon can be laughably easy considering how quick the marines will drop for you. It can also go wrong pretty quick if you’re Drone rushed early and don’t set up next to the LZ’s fast enough - north of LZ1 or Mining at LZ2. Both holds can work and are pretty easy, although LZ1 always seems to work.
Also the UPP insert if you set up at the elevator with molotovs can also be pretty easy, just as long as you actually are fast enough with the vendors.
Another thing to note is the IASF insert on Hybrisa can be pretty easy, or even just regular survivors if you set up the east checkpoint quick enough too.
As for the hardest maps to survive on - probably Soro being the hardest, then Kutjevo, but it just depends. If all you want to do is survive, then hiding on both maps is very very easy with the thermal tarps laying around, Soro is incredibly easy to hide on.
Most maps it really just depends on who you’re rolling on which determines the survival rate. If you have an Engi or Synth your chances go up massively.

easiest map is probably CC since marines drop for you asap, other than that theres no “easy” maps
forecon is pretty strong, PMCs on solaris and UPP on trijent are also good, but it wont matter if you roll with bad teammates (which happens all the time)
idk any hold can be strong if you know what ur doing, and any hold can be ass if you dont, it goes both ways

Fiorina is also piss easy, if you know the spawns. You can get a flame turret, regular turret, flag, 5 RPGs, a stack of plasteel, several stacks of mats, and more before drones can evo. All you need to do is hold south of LZ1 in the corner, reinforce wall one end and flame turret the other. Congrats, you are now immune to everything cept T3s, if they even wanna bother with you anymore.

New Varadero is the easiest map, you can just hold the island, water is unweedable, near impassable and traveling it is risky and the island is next to LZ, so you are getting revived.

island has been unholdable for a year now
NV is not a hard map but I wouldnt say its easy either, its just boring
NV is the only map (currently merged) with really uninteresting surv presets and inserts
its just a snorefest snoreeeee

This is true, but most survivors these days are clueless. Also it’s still very RNG based, last time I rolled we have four flags and no sentries. Your hold isn’t really going to last long on high-pop without a flamer sentry as there’s no flames on the map, no molotovs.
Nerfed for like a year now, and honestly NV is pretty tough to survive on, luckily it’s not played very often, or low-pop where roaming can work, but yeah it’s one of the hardest ones, and a pretty dull map generally.
Funny enough we do actually have stats for survival rates. Last time I checked though Soro was dead last, people rarely survive it, not sure about NV, and there’s not enough data on Steelpoints maps to really include them. Shivas was pretty low too. Fio is low, but it’s really just RNG, and RNG if the marines even bother to look for your dead bodies at the hold before you perma.

Where do you find these stats?

You’d have to ask Drathek or someone on the Discord, they’re not public for some reason.
