Outriders changes quickly as you progress in the early hours, so we gathered 10 essential tips to get you on your feet and get better loot!
Outriders is now out for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC, and Stadia. For the most part, the loot shooter/RPG hybrid is pretty straightforward, but a few of its mechanics and systems could use a bit more clarification.
In the video above, Jordan Ramée details 10 tips for how to be a better Outrider in Outriders. Some of the advice is geared towards ensuring you’re always finding the best loot, whether that’s from chests hidden throughout the planet of Enoch or from World Tier rewards. Other tips should help you make Outriders a bit more approachable in terms of difficulty–if you take the time to understand how crafting and modding works, as well as when to raise and lower your World Tier, you’ll have a much easier time making it through the game.
Outriders has managed a rather popular launch despite the assortment of server issues that are pretty much an expected part of the experience for any brand-new, online-only game at this point. So far, we’ve been enjoying it too.
In GameSpot’s Outriders review, Phil Hornshaw wrote, “[Outriders’] story is often funny but similarly intense; its combat requires you to take cover and to charge; its abilities make you phenomenally powerful but prone to overestimating yourself. If you can find the balance in Outriders, People Can Fly’s RPG-shooter finds ways to combine well-worn video game ideas into something new and fun.”

Talking about the game like its something new lol its Gears Of War, but shighter
I’m not gonna lie. I downloaded this on a whim and am LOVING it atm
There is a penalty for lowering your world tier apparently, I’ve not tried it myself, but apparently all quests you haven’t turned in will be level capped to the lowest world tier, to prevent people playing on tier 1 and get tier 15 rewards for example
Respec doesn’t have a T in it. Just sayin.
What class has skills to find more Smgs?
Tried it last night on gamepass runs great seems well optimised on last-gen xbox one so it must be awesome fps on next-gen machines.
3rd person destiny.
how do you play this game off line?? i swear square have paid a shit ton on publicity… Do not buy this game it is pants, worst game of the this year..
ignore the hype and not accounts telling you to buy it.
I advise you to play warframe instead which is a better game and is free
1st tip…fix the servers
One tip that will always come in handy; "Remember – switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading". Switching to your other two guns will come in REAL handy later on. Especially when you're getting overwhelmed. Another tip that I have is to sometimes save some low health goons. Don't finish them off as killing is the only way to heal yourself back up, so sometimes weakening everyone is better than outright finishing them off.
I am maxing out my Hell's Ranger Armor and Weapons.
Everything else besides Legendaries are fodder for resources.
These are actually good tips. Thanks
People complaining about the servers must not realize every always online looter shooter, or hell anyway always online game has server problems the first couple days or week(s) of launch.
I would like my 5 minutes back now. You pointed out nothing but the obvious.
i would love a new bullet storm game.
Game servers are OFF most of the time
There's absolutely a world tier penalty for changing. It sets the rewards to the new world tier cap. So potential Epic loot will become Rare or Common for example. It's literally written what the rewards are as you select it. It's tied to the mission & area too. So if you decide to kill a boss on WT1 then change to WT6 when claiming the reward in a different area, you'll receive WT1 rewards.
This game is going to be dead before the review comes out.
Imagine being a basic scrub and playing this game on a Ps5, having to pay full price and all that lmao
There is a penalty to changing world tiers btw. It lowers the potential loot rewards for all quests you have available to complete.
Im looking for people to play with, no on owns this game in my friends list, Flaminyo on PSN, I play trickster lvl 17/WT-7
Can someone tell me on Xbox why I can’t change out current 3 skills? I want to try out cyclone slice on my trickster but when I try to change it nothing happens
This game is a lot of fun. Praise the almighty gamepass.
Cool 👍😎 video
This game on both consoles?
Top tip, fix the servers so we can actually get in to play
Is the game fun
Was really hoping for a more open world experience and not so linear…Destiny and division games where more open than this.
Looks like Destiny mixed with The Division
