Despite being published by Square Enix, the makers of Final Fantasy, Outriders is truly in a category of its own. The co-op RPG has already been successful as a demo for months now, so when the game debuted on April 1st, 2021, fans of the genre knew what to expect.

The game is complex, rewarding those who go in with clear heads and game plans and punishing those who do not. Nothing is worse than realizing a critical piece of gear was sold like scrap earlier in the game or that the mission objective is on the opposite end of the Enoch. Those serious about succeeding in Outriders should continue to check these links. The latest information about the game and tips and tricks from the pros will help players beat out even the worst Anomaly Storm.

Updated on July 6th, 2022: Outriders is very much alive. After a fumbled beginning technically speaking, the game has sought to not only redeem itself but surpass what many assumed would have been a short and bright burst. New content like New Horizon and Worldslayer have added weapons, skill trees, enemies, and battlefields. It has become clear that Outriders is not a flash in the pan. As one of the premier co-op action games of the last decade, this guide has been updated with the latest information, fresh guides, and veteran secrets from the community that loves the game and is eager to share this joy with anyone curious about joining in the fight.

Take some advice from the community; it's best to cut down on unwelcome and unexpected surprises ahead of time. If there's a question about the game's fundamentals, then the answer is right here.

The game is all downloaded, the systems are studied and read, and the basics are down. So where does a player go when they've got the general gist of the game? This is the moment that separates the casual players from the dominant forces climbing the Apocalypse Tier ladders.

Of course, conquering those bosses, both official and secret, in the campaigns is going to be huge when it comes to the journey of going from amateur to veteran. But the real stars know where to find all those hidden treasures along the way.

Gear & Gathering

Any amateur gamer can follow a class guide and click the right nodes, but to be regarded as one of the best, players will have to hone their skills, farm equipment, and change strategies to cover any group needs. Underfarmed players will find themselves kicked from their parties. Not all legendary guns are created equally and different builds will have different stat priorities. And who doesn't need a little help on finding and beating some of the game's most elusive and difficult encounters?

How To Get Legendary Weapons And Armor

Play on High Apocalypse Tiers.

Legendary drops cannot come from chests.
Some tasks will guarantee a random piece of legendary loot.

Outriders Coming Down From The Steps In The Opening Cinematic

After an opening week of server issues and technical problems, it appeared the worst of the issues had been addressed with a massive server reset. Yet recent patches badly nerfed three of the four classes and the inventory wipe bug went from being a rare issue to a common problem after a patch that was supposed to fix this glitch went live. Some patches are even doing more harm than good. Still, there is work being done and the community is vigilantly finding errors while the developers appear committed to fixing these issues.
