We say this because the only reason to grind out World Tiers is to make the campaign and side quests significantly more difficult for yourself. Higher World Tiers offer up a bit more challenge with better rewards tied to that challenge however, there isn’t ever really a need to grind these out in our experience, even if Legendary drop rate is “increased”. Much like The Division, Outriders handles difficulty by putting you in charge. These quests have rewards tied to them but before we talk about those we need to address the World Tier system.

Prepare for MANY cutscenes.Ĭollector missions task you with completing a Wanted bounty, a hunt for a monster or finding a piece of humanity’s history on Enoch. These are often a few waves of enemies with a tanky elite enemy (or three) appearing toward the end of combat. To solve this issue you have side quests which you can grind to your heart’s content. The main quests in Outriders are rather short and the combat sections, while plentiful, aren’t enough to build up experience and get good gear. All side quests are also repeatable and there is a reason for that. Some side quests will have exposition tied to the main story, others won’t. There are some rewards tied to these quests, but for the most part you will be progressing along a path, dispatching enemies and interacting with an object or person before a cutscene triggers. The main quest is self explanatory – as you progress through these quests, you get closer to the end story. Outriders has three main quest types before you reach the end of the campaign – namely the main quest, side quests and collector quests. We ran the DirectX 11 version of the game at medium settings at 2560 x 1440 resolution.

If you want to know whether Outriders is worth the price of admission, skip to the bottom of this review.Īs an aside, Outriders was reviewed on a PC with the following specifications: Until now we’ve avoided spoilers, but from here on out, all bets are off. We have made some headway into the endgame grind and while we’re yet to hit that 100 percent completion, we know enough about the game in front of us to make a judgement call. Since launch on 1st April we’ve spent 41 hours in the game, finishing the main campaign and starting to progress through it again on alternate characters. This is not a recap of 2021 so far, but rather the jumping off point for Outriders, the latest entry into the looter shooter genre from publisher Square Enix and developer People Can Fly. Civil wars threaten everyday civilians, rednecks have stormed the capital and pollution has blacked out the sky.
