News Update Highlights:

A few initial focuses for further discussions:
Damage Reduction and Survivability Mechanics

Outriders has a number of mechanics including Shields, Armour, Resistance, Spike Damage Protection/Healthgate and more that all work together to calculate how squishy or tanky your particular character is in the face of certain damage.

Understanding these mechanics is a key aspect of understanding damage mitigation or one-shot kill instances and related issues.

Legendary Drop Rates

We’re aware that some players are unhappy with legendary drop rates as they currently are. This is a topic that, across various game modes and difficulty levels includes many layers and further questions.

To that end, we’re planning to share more information about legendary drop rate mechanics in future to help you understand the system a bit better and to help make your farming more targeted and less frustrating.

Note that this is just an initial step regarding this matter, but it is required for us to make informed choices.

Extra Notes:

Next Patch

Our next patch is currently undergoing testing, with the intent to release in the latter half of next week.

We know that our previous patch took uncomfortably long to release, but we do hope to be able to be patching the game much more frequently now.

Player Appreciation Package

This is currently undergoing testing and I will share more news around this as soon as we have a confirmed go live date.

Known Issues & Issues still being investigated:

Trolls kicking other players at the end of Expeditions

An upcoming patch will implement a feature that prevents players from engaging in this antisocial behaviour.

Sign-in issues

  1. Lol yeah you have it nailed for sure.
    It's called RNGesus for a reason. But if love to see them get the hint off BL3 just not as crazy legendary drop rates

  3. This game is unfixable, specially with the fan base. The constant stealth nerfs. Bug after bug. A waste of $60. I have never had to go through much, from any game. These devs took 3-5 years to make this game. The fact they even had a demo for the game, says alot to me. It was broken, before they even distributed this game. I believe they created this game for a quick buck. Plus they were online bragging about how many copies they sold. While the game was still broken. Then they started talking about a dlc, versus a still broken game, and this new patch. Made the game even more broken. All these complications. What reason do u have, to not bash this game?

  4. Leeroy, been watching awhile now and your original dmg mitigation video helped a ton. I run a small variant of your tri turret techno with a bit of hulk smash tanking! Thanks!

  5. Thanks.. people just don't understand or they don't want to understand how the game works. They expect to run in there and just kill everything, just put some armor on and then it's "whaaaaaa I'm getting one shot killed".. You explained it perfectly why in most cases that's the case.
