Outriders Patch Notes (All Updates) – Official

Outriders update is now rolling out on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC. The game developer Square Enix also released the official Outriders patch notes for players. According to the official changelog, the latest Outriders update added various quality of life changes, tweaks, changes, and more.

Recently, the game was released with positive reviews. Unfortunately, since the release, players are experiencing several issues with the game.

Outriders Update Patch Notes – August 25, 2022

• Fixed a bug with the
  Technomancer’s Grim Inventor Set

  that was causing the Set Bonus to stop working consistently.

• Resolved a number of issues with the
  Apocalypse Tier System

  which either prevented players from progressing or led to other players instantly levelling up their tiers.

• Granted all character that had been missing an Ascension point their missing point.
  • The bug that caused this issue was fixed in a previous patch, but the work to grant the missing point had to be done separately.

Outriders Update Patch Notes – July 28, 2022

• ImplementedItem LockingFunctionality.

• Improved theQuick Mark Functionalityto now also include Legendary, Apocalypse Epic and Apocalypse Legendary rarities.

• Changed the behaviour of thecamera when sprintingto make the sprint behaviour between “Toggle” and “Hold to Sprint” consistent. The camera will no longer turn when players are sprinting.

Apocalypse Tier Grind Reduced

• Apocalypse Tier Leveling

  • Starting from Apocalypse Tier 20, the requirement to level up each Apocalypse Tier has been reduced by 10%.

Crafting Costs Reduced. Resource Gains Increased.

• Resources & Anomaly Extract

  • The amount of Anomaly Extract gained has generally been improved and the amount of Anomaly Extract gained in Tarya Gratar’s Troves has been increased by 500%.

  • A full run-through of Tarya Gratar (including Troves) should now net out at around double the amount of Anomaly Extract earned per run when compared to before this patch.

  • Boss-rushing the final Arbiter will net slightly more Anomaly Extract than before, but this will not be the most efficient route for Anomaly Extract farming.

• Crafting and Upgrading

  • Starting at Item Level 50, the Anomaly Extract costs required to upgrade gear has been reduced by 5%.

  • Between the two above changes (Increased Gains and reduced Costs), players should be able to support upgrading two full sets of gear per Apocalypse Tier level. This should enable a greater amount of experimentations and limit the need to hoard resources in order to be able to upgrade the currently equipped set.

• Apocalypse Gear Drop Rates

  • Starting at Apocalypse Tier 11, the “Increased chance for Apocalypse variant gear” has been increased for each Apocalypse Tier.

Expeditions Rewards Improved

• Expeditions

  • Expedition Rewards have been increased in order to make Expeditions feel more viable alongside Tarya Gratar. The “Loot Gained per X Time Investment” should now feel quite similar between Expeditions and Tarya Gratar.

  • Players should now receive a greater amount of Epic and Legendary Items and comparatively fewer Rare items in Expeditions.

  • Anomaly Extract farming should now also feel much more viable to do in Expeditions.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that allowed players to miss a Pax point if they transitioned out of the Fisherman fight too quickly.

• Fixed a bug that prevented characters transferring to Worldslayer from obtaining their first Ascension point.

• Fixed a bug that could prevent co-op players from leveling up even if they had acquired all required experience but the party had been wiped out during combat.

• Fixed a bug that cause player’s health to be improperly calculated if they levelled up immediately after dying. The correct value would be display if they died again.

Bug Fixes Skills and Nodes

• Fixed a bug that was causing the “Twisted Rounds”, “Volcanic Rounds” and “Blighted Rounds” skills to be blocked when firing any one-shot weapon.

• Fixed a bug that prevented the mods “Minefield” and “Legendary Minefield” from triggering more than once per enemy.

• Devastator:

  • Fixed a bug that prevented the Devastators Pax nodes “Finishing Touch” and “Earthen Shell” from properly working after the player transitioned from a no-weapons-area.

• Technomancer:

  • Fixed a bug that prevented Technomancers from activating the “Pain Launcher” skill if they were too close to covers or walls.

  • Fixed a bug that prevented Technomancers from cycling between camera sides when using the Tools of Destruction Minigun.

  • Fixed a bug that caused the stats screen of Technomancers to display abnormal results while the Tool of Destruction skill was active.

• Trickster:

  • Fixed a bug that prevented the Tricksters “Hunt the Prey” skill from triggering if enemies were using cover.

  • Fixed a bug that caused Tricksters to lock up if they used “Hunt the Prey” on an enemy who died at the same time.

  • Fixed a bug that could cause Tricksters to get stuck in geometry on certain levels when using “Hunt the Prey”.

  • Fixed a bug that could cause the Tricksters “Twisted Round” skill to remain active indefinitely if player was staggered during the reload animation.

  • Fixed a bug that was causing the “Venator’s Knife” skill to deal inconsistent damage when used in combination with certain mods.

  • Fixed a bug that was caused the “Time Rift” mod “Weightlessness” to show in incorrect duration of 5 seconds in it’s tooltip. The correct value is 3 seconds, which is now correctly displayed.

Bug Fixes Gear

• Fixed a bug that prevented the Technomancer’s Grim Inventor set bonus from triggering consistently in combination with the Pain Launcher skill if there was only one rocket remaining in the RPG.

• Fixed a bug that was causing Status Power provided by items to be multiplied instead of decreased as players increased their Apocalypse Tiers. This could unintentionally lead to increases as high as 700% Status power at Apocalypse Tier 40.

• Fixed a bug that prevented the Mycologist’s Set from behaving properly in the Transmog menus.

• Fixed a bug that allowed the game to drop a Headgear item called “Wraith’s Mask” for which there is no Transmog design.

Bug Fixes Mods

• Fixed a bug that caused the “Shock and Awe” mod to trigger more often than intended.

• Fixed a bug that caused the “Relativity Theorem” mod to inconsistently refresh and in some cases even extend cooldowns.

• Fixed a bug that caused the “Untamed Power” mod to skip the cooldown for the Trickster’s Hunt the Prey skill.

• Fixed a bug that prevented the Trickster’s “And Another One” armor mod to not function for killing shots.

• Fixed a bug that prevented the Devastator’s “Reflect Bullets” mod “Equator” from working in relation to Melee Enemies.

Bug Fixes Enemies

• Fixed a bug that could cause enemies from being properly affected by or not animating and despawning properly when hit with either the Devastators Impale and Earthquake, Pyromancer’s Feed the Flames and Overheat or a Technomancers Cold Snap or Cryo Turret skill while the enemy was affected by the Phoenix Aura effect.

• Fixed a bug that caused Skirmisher Warlords to appear on the Trial of Tarya Gratar’s score screen multiple times.

• Fixed a bug that allowed players to enter cover when affected by the Executioner’s Chain Lock ability.

• Improved the consistency of the Shadowbeast’s Melee attack in relation to the claw’s VFX.

• Fixed a bug that was causing co-op players to be momentarily held back if hit by a Forest Strix projectile.

Outriders WorldSlayer Update Patch Notes – July 12, 2022

A large number of players have been abusing an exploit which allows them to bypass all other content and infinitely farm the final Arbiter in the Trial of Tarya Gratar.

Rather than punish players and reduce overall farming opportunities, we would like to realign your options to give you more choice, rather than less.

• We are adding an extra guaranteed Apocalypse Legendary RNG drop in the following Trove areas:

  • Cliffside Path

  • Daughter’s Sanctuary

  • The Arboretum

• This guaranteed drop will correspond to the targeted loot option for the respective trove.

• Troves will now also drop their intended targeted loot more often.

• We are reducing the final Arbiter’s Apocalypse Legendary drop rate, but the “Choice of Legendary“ reward that appears after defeating the final Arbiter remains unaffected.

• We are reducing the Helmet Drop Rate for the Final Arbiter, so that he will now be more likely to drop gear that isn’t a helmet than before.

These changes will make the Trove areas of the game more attractive while also helping ensure an overall run-through of the Trial becomes more rewarding than before.

Compared to before, where the amount of Apocalypse Legendaries obtained from a full run through of the Trial was a minimum of 6, in the new system a complete run through all rooms in the Trial will net a player a guaranteed minimum of 9 Apocalypse Legendaries + RNG chances for others.
The most efficient way of farming legendaries should therefore shift to something much more fun and variable, rather than players feeling like they need to repeat the same fight ad infinitum if they want to be as efficient as possible.

• A code-based solution to this exploit would take a very long time to develop, as the only viable way of closing it properly would be to rewrite the entire way save-games are handled while in the Trial of Tarya Gratar. This is not feasible.

• The current exploit is only in place because we purposefully designed the Retries system within the Trial to be player friendly. We did not want players who need to take a break from playing or whose internet connection momentarily fails to be punished with lost retries or be sent back to the start of the Trial.

• Torrential Downpour

  • Helmet: Skill Life Leech attribute has been changed to Status Power

  • Upper Armour: Skill Life Leech attribute has been changed to Status Power

  • Lower Armour: Cooldown Reduction attribute has been changed to Status Power

• Grim Inventor

  • Helmet: Skill Life Leech attribute has been changed to Status Power

  • Upper Armour: Skill Life Leech attribute has been changed to Status Power

  • Lower Armour: Cooldown Reduction attribute has been changed to Status Power

• Plague Sower

  • All Pieces: Close Range Damage attribute has been changed to Long Range Damage.

These changes to Technomancer Armour Sets will better allow these sets to synergize with the Pax tree introduced in Outriders Worldslayer. Particularly the “Depleted Core” node in the Technomancer’s Pax Tree will benefit greatly from the change towards making these gear pieces better reliant on Status Power.

• These changes were intended to be part of the Outriders Worldslayer launch build. They are now being implemented as previously intended. They are not a reaction to any of the balance we have observed since launch.

• A full balancing pass is intended for a later patch.

• Fixed a bug that could cause Ereshkigal to stop fighting during her boss battle.

• Fixed a couple of bugs that could cause the Arbiter to be instantly killed by their Tribute/Umbral Clone if the player was using certain armour or mods in combination with Venator’s Knife and the Shieldbeast Set.

• Fixed a bug that could cause the game to crash when exiting.

• Bug fixes to improve technical performance.

• Added a minimum damage limit for the Brood Mother’s “Perforate” ability. This will ensure the ability does not have too large of a disparity in its min/max damage output.

Bug Fixes General:

• Fixed a bug that would prevent mods inserted in armor from properly scaling with the armors level if the armor was upgraded through Zahedi. This bug would previously fix itself after an area transition.

• Fixed a bug that caused the “Even Odds” mod to stack 5 times, instead of the stated 3 times.

• Changed the “Armor Boost” mod so that it now scales to the armor item it is inserted into, rather than scaling with the player level and stopping at level 30.

• Fixed a bug that caused the “Emergency Stance” mod to not trigger if the damage instance that proc’d the mod also inflicted “Knockback” on the player.

• Fixed a bug that caused the “Bullet Absorption” mod to replenish 80% instead of it’s intended 40% of ammo.

• Fixed an issue that could cause frame (FPS) drops if the “Damage Link” mod was using in combination with the “Pain Transfer” mod.

• Fixed a bug that could cause the Pyromancer’s armor mod “Phoenix Force” to not increase Anomaly Power after consuming a status condition.

• Fixed a bug that allowed Borrowed Time to stack it’s bonus infinitely if the “Armor of Eons” and “Short Term Loan” mods were combined and spammed.

Bug Fixes to Skills:

• Fixed a bug that could cause the Tricksters “Hunt the Prey” ability to lock up under certain circumstances.

• The Devastator’s “Impale” skill now no longer blocks Obelisks from continuing to charge while an impaled enemy is present.

• The description for “Endless Mass” now also mentions the Slow status effect that it inflicts.

• Fixed a bug that could cause Technomancer Turrets to fall through the ground if they were thrown too low or too high.

• Added the icon for the “Cryo Turret” skill to the Technomancer’s “Engineer” and “Senior Engineer” class nodes. These nodes were already affecting the “Cryo Turret” skill anyway.

  • The New Description is:

    • While either Tremor or Golem is active, increase Firepower by 100% and Weapon Life Leech by 100% for you and your teammates

  • The Old Description was:

    • Using either Tremor or Golem increases Firepower by 100% and Weapon Life Leech by 100% for you and your teammates

  • The Old Description was

    • F.A.S.E.R Beam: Boosts your Health Regeneration by X for Y seconds after the skill ends.

• The Outriders Demo has been updated so that its fix list and improvements are now in line with our 22nd of June patch.
• Important: The Demo no longer requires Square Enix Membership registration in order to play, so if you know anyone who was holding off the demo due to this reason, please do let them know.

Note 1:This isnotan exhaustive list of things being worked upon. This is alsonota list of patch notes for the next patch. Upcoming patches will address issues that may not be listed here.

Note 2:“Investigated” means that we have been able to successfully reproduce an issue on our dev environment and are currently looking at the root causes of said issue. If we have not yet been able to reproduce a specific issue, it may not be listed here, but that doesn’t mean we’re unaware of it.

• State of Stadia
  • Stadia still needs to be brought in line with other platforms with regards to fixes, bug resolutions and crossplay support.
  • We are continuing to do this work on aligning all platforms, but do not yet have a definite date for when this will be possible.
  • We appreciate that this work is taking longer than expected and do apologize for this.
• Stuck at 99% Accolade Progress
  • Issue being investigated
    • UPDATE: While our investigation is ongoing, we will attempt to manually trigger the missing accolades for all users who previously helped us investigate this matter.
• Technomancers Borealis Set 90% bonus can stop working in combat

As mentioned in the patch notes, there is an additional underlying issue with this set that was only recently discovered. We are already re-investigating this matter in order to ensure that the set will be made fully operational again asap.

• Matchmaking privacy settings may set themselves to Open without input from the player
  • Issue being investigated
• Xbox problems related to signing in
  • This is one of our top priorities and something we are continuing to investigate. This patch may well help with the issue, but we are continuing to monitor it.
• Certain enemies, especially Alphas, may break out of Frozen CC as soon as they are damaged
  • Issue being investigated
• Game stutters when multiple Crawlers are on screen, in particular during certain Expeditions
  • Issue currently being investigated and will be resolved in a future patch
• Certain Mods not working, in particular when you’re the client during multiplayer sessions
  • Issue under review following multiplayer improvements
• Players dying while a shield is active

Issue currently being investigated. Rather than shields not properly mitigating damage, this issue may be caused by (either) the UI not catching up properly or it may be a case of certain shield mods continuing to proc their shield after death has occurred under certain edge cases.

Example: A player continually generates shields and their death prevention mechanics are already on cooldown. They are then hit by enemy damage waves that deplete both shields and health at a greater/faster rate than the shield can regenerate in that window, leading to cases of player HP reaching 0 for a split-second before another chunk of shield is added.

• Trickster’s Hunt the Prey does not turn player towards an enemy’s back if aiming down sights immediately after activation
  • Issue currently being investigated and will be resolved in a future patch

Outriders Patch Notes (June 10, 2021)

• Community Appreciation Package
  • The Community Appreciation Package is here and everyone who has played Outriders to-date will receive it!

Your most experienced character has been granted:

• A random god-rolled Legendary weapon which you have not previously obtained (on any character)
  • If your inventory if full, please check your stash for the Legendary weapon.
  • If both your inventory and stash are full, the Legendary weapon will appear when you next free up an inventory space and restart the game.
  • If you have already previously found all weapons, your character will be granted the rarest weapon for their class.
• Extra Titanium based on your character’s level
• A new emote, “Frustration” has been unlocked for all your characters.
  • A game restart may be required for it to appear.

• Balancing:
  • Applied a number of buffs to Armour and Player Skills.

Today’s changes focus primarily on buffing underused skills and improving player survivability via Armour rebalancing. This is only an initial first pass, based on the mass player data that we’re seeing in our analytics. If something has not been mentioned here, do not fret. Work is already underway for upcoming balance passes, which will look at other topics of focus, including legendary drop distribution.

We are also aware that Timed Expeditions remain a point of contention regarding balancing and that they are fundamental problem for many players as their timed nature can drive a too heavily DPS focused meta.

Addressing the root cause of this issue is something that will take a longer time. This is not something we will be able to address as part of the immediately upcoming patches, but we are working on this issue and are continuing to look into what is feasible in the long term.

Outriders 1.06 Patch Notes

Fixed the bug that was causing the inventories of certain players to be wiped. While today’s patch is intended to prevent the issue from continuing to occur. The restoration process is run via our server database and does not require a patch to be implemented. We will have news of this very soon.

IMPORTANT:

• With this new patch, some players may occasionally encounter multiplayer connectivity issues followed by inventory items being momentarily invisible. This is a known and only temporary behaviour that is part of our three-step inventory safeguarding measures.
  • Restarting your game or waiting a few minutes and then restarting your game should make your items appear again.
• We aim to address the occurrence of these edge cases in a future patch.
• If you do encounter a wipe that occursafter installing the patchand is not resolved following a game restart,
