Cover is for Cowards in Outriders, but it’s a necessary thing to catch a breather and reload your weapons. People Can Fly posted a new update on reddit discussing why cover is so terrible and how they plan to fix it.

Just make the cover system like Gears of War and I think that will solve this problem.
The cover in the demo can be a little clunky. Albeit I've found the game moves so fast that I rarely need cover. It's more like an option than a necessity.
Remember, taking cover is optional.
That's why I'm like: "LEERROOOY JEENNKIINNS!!"
I think for me is the frustration I see in my friends trying out the demo and thinking I'll go in cover as in other looter shooters. Their frustration was trying to do say the Terra mission solo and getting completely overwhelmed. They know they can't hide in cover yet all the enemy fire is overwhelming. The get mad, well one of them, and just quit the demo. I helped him get his Pyro to L7 WT5 and he's definitely less squishy but still wonders how he would've done that alone. I experienced some of that frustration earlier on with Gauss. Not sure how things though.
In general I'm ok with the cover except when you run up to cover, need to reload and your characters stands there like an idiot.
i hope they address the aim assist too because it kinda sucks and i see no one talking about it
I have had issues mostly with how sticky cover is. I try to get out of it and sometimes get trapped and nailed while trying to escape.
What does anyone need cover for? Get in their face and devour their souls to heal yourself 🧛🏻
Honestly who cares about cover. Didn't Square advertised outriders as a game with the idea of f*** cover play aggressive and survive
The cover system is strange to start with because they want you to not use it but have it everywhere, not sure if the hybrid route was good but I did enjoy the demo. Cover system was a bit off at times though and I think having a fun playing experience is key in a genre where there's other looter shooter options.
My personal take, sure they can tweak it out, but it's not as huge of a problem than people makes it out to be. I feel there's too many people trying to play Gears or Division style here. Just run instead while reloading so you can dodge some bullets or get near a target to melee/kill/cc them and get your health back. Stop playing like cowards, it works wonder.
Cover is really important
For me personally this is the reason why I didn’t pre-order the game.
I didint play the demo after quests for annoying covers. Hopefully it would be better with pathces postlaunch.
All of this yes. I've noticed all of it. And its cost me a few matches where I have to repeat the mission. Doesnt help that I played the demo alone lol.
ok bye bye, unsubscribe and block all content, this is rediculous, 5 min videos of outriders all the time. This guy doesnt give a shit anylonger bye bye.
It wasn't the best idea to make the whole shooting tutorial from a cover situation…this "teaches" the players from the beginning to use cover as it would be madnatory for succes.
I wish they would simply add crouch and remove all the cover stuff. But thats just me.
Not buying Outriders
There's cover in this game? -A devastator
My first play through I utilised the cover system but as I played I didn't really need it as I was healing run into the fray and slaughter
I just tested the demo with a i7 6700k and the game goes pretty smooth in a mix of Ultra-High.
I'm really considering to buy it.
All do respect to division players this is run and gun without medkits dev should work on dlc and better other system my opinion this is where you separate the boys from the men
I wish their cover system was more like ME Andromeda I think the automatic system that game had would make moving in and out of cover more fluid and less clunky.
Watching my son trying to cover in Terra infirma when the Captain spawns portals is hilarious… Rage mode ingaged!
idk dude…they have freaking super powers, why not add some super jump or anything like this? The cover system counter the gameplay they want us to play, very agressive play with cover? why?
The cover is not meant for us it’s meant for the enemies
Is Vulkan playing the full game? Don't recognize these areas from the demo.
Comming from Division 2, this cover system is just a disaster.
It is good that they will revamp it. If they don't want gamers to use it why they even implement it?
I understand it is class based and this is bread and butter for technomancer, but not for devastator
I don't think I've ever tried to use Cover.
I actually haven’t had any big issues with cover so far.
Except going around a corner and needing to hold the cover button, that’s dumb lol
We’re supposed to play aggressively which means not overly relying on cover to achieve victory.
But that doesn’t mean never using cover. I see that misunderstanding a lot. So it’s important they get the cover system right.
Especially in boss fights.
Omg these devs…. A straight up master class on how ALL developers should be.
Nice video, I was thinking that it was some kind of hater video but not 😉
Thank you
They need to dump the cover system and make a crouch button. This game is not meant to be played in cover. Its very odd that everything is maximized by playing aggressive. I would be beyond bored sitting in cover all the time. Is it fun to sit back and snipe sometimes? Sure, but I dont need a cover system to do that. Just give me some things to get behind when needed. I will say you're really missing out if you rely on the cover system.
Ya i tried to use cover at first then got frustrated and said screw it, and haven't used it since…best thing i ever did! This game is sssooo much fun with no cover lol
I have a solution to the ‘snap to cover’ issue……..just have a crouch button. Easy
Wtf is cover?
The biggest issue with cover is the fact they made a cover shooter game with gameplay that is completely counterintuitive to use cover. Personally I wouldve rather had a true cover shooter like gears or mass effect 3's multiplayer than the rushing into a fire fight like some damn bullet sponge but like of people like that type of gameplay.
@Vulkan, I personally don't think cover is as broken or wonky as the babies are going on about. If you have played Gears of War then you'll be familiar to this cover system. No it's not perfect but this is not a cover to cover shooter. It's all about going Ham with your Powers.
A wall sliding type mechanic similar to Gears of War would be awesome. I always find myself trying to do it.
If they can just fix the cover to make the transitions smooth between going in and out of cover, that would be great and it would also be nice to have a grab ability, to be able to grab someone on the opposite side of cover or do some tactic like popping over the wall like gears and blow em into pieces or mess em up with your power lol
Cover is for the ENEMY not the OUTRIDER-
It’s annoying from time to time so I’d say take a look at it, but I wouldn’t make it a priority. A lot of things you can just stand behind while reloading. If this happened in a gears of war game then hell yeah I’d prioritise it, but this isn’t game breaking.
If you have to cover in this game to attack you are doing it wrong.
I mained a devastator and I think cover slows down the game and never needed to use it, even not for a breather. My other toon is a technomancer and I felt the need for a cover but this time both cover system and technomancer skills felt clunky. Game does not give you any time to breathe and requires you to constantly move.
When I played the demo the cover system indeed felt off, especially coming from The Division 2 which has a great cover system that felt more intuitive and integrated with the flow of you movement.
I never had any problem with the cover system. I am playing on xbox series x with controller and everything is fine, to take cover. Looks like it is a pc exclusive problem.
Yes, big problem with as much firepower that is coming at you.
So I am the only one that didnt have any problems with cover system?? You sit still you get swarmed
