Outriders: How to Unlock Locked Gear

New DVD releaselocked, outriders, unlock

Outriders is a pretty good looter shooter, but the game doesn’t always do a great job of explaining some of its more complicated mechanics outside of some small menu text. It also does a pretty bad job of explaining what you’re supposed to do with the game’s locked gear. The idea of items you can’t really do anything with (besides equipping them) in a looter title is one of the most frustrating concepts that we can imagine in a video game. While the sad truth of the matter is that your ability to interact with Outriders‘ locked gear is fairly…

Outriders: The Best Titanium Farm Spots and Tips

New DVD releaseoutriders, spots, titanium

While most of Outriders‘ resources are useful in one way or another, Titanium tends to be the most desirable resource for Outriders‘ challenging late game. It allows you to improve the rarity of lower-level items and raise the attributes of your existing Epic and Legendary gear. Given how valuable Titanium is, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it can be pretty hard to find. While not as rare as Legendary gear (or a stable connection to Outriders‘ servers), you’re going to have work to earn enough of this stuff to be able to upgrade all of the gear you’ll…

Outriders Crossplay Fix and How to Play Across PS5, PS4, Xbox, PC, and Stadia

New DVD releaseacross, crossplay, outriders, stadia

Outriders is Square Enix’s latest attempt at a looter game after the release of Marvel’s Avengers last year. However you may feel about the publisher’s first Marvel outing in terms of the story, gameplay, and looting system, it has to be said that Outriders is at the very least not lacking in personality. Coming from People Can Fly, the studio behind the criminally underrated shooter Bulletstorm, Outriders certainly has plenty of character, and a grittier tone that is sure to please players looking for something a bit darker than what Destiny has to offer to the genre. Unfortunately, the game’s…

Outriders: How to Find and Farm Legendary Weapons and Armor

New DVD releasearmor, legendary, outriders, weapons

Outriders is a looter shooter (and a pretty good one at that), and as we’ve learned from looter games of the past, much of the fun comes from playing until you finally find one of the rarest possible drops. It’s a process that takes time, patience, skill, and a lot of luck. Alternatively, you could just farm a high-yield area until you get the Legendary item you want. Granted, it’s not the most sporting method, but considering that it’s been something of a tradition in this genre since its earliest days, we doubt anyone is going to be too disappointed…

Outriders Best Classes for Solo and Multiplayer Modes

New DVD releaseclasses, modes, multiplayer, outriders

Outriders is designed to ensure you can beat the game with any class (or combination of classes), but it shouldn’t come as a surprise that there are just some classes that are better equipped to get the job done (assuming you can actually push through the project’s server issues and play the game). Actually, the most interesting thing about Outriders‘ classes isn’t the many ways that one has an advantage over the other but the surprising ways that different compositions offer different gameplay experiences. This really is the kind of game where your class choice should be based on your…

Outriders: No HUD Fix and Missing HUD Workaround

New DVD releasemissing, outriders, workaround

With Outriders, Square Enix and Bulletstorm developer People Can Fly deliver a brand new looter shooter experience to rival games like Destiny, The Division, and Warframe. While it’s still too early to tell just how this online experience ultimately compares to the games that have come before, it does have one major thing in common with other titles in its genre: launch day server problems and performance issues. Server issues are pretty much par for the course when it comes to live service titles these days. It always takes a couple of weeks to get all of the online components…

Outriders Server Issue Solutions and PC Performance Fixes

New DVD releasefixes, issue, outriders, performance, server, solutions

While Outriders is a pretty impressive looter shooter in a lot of ways, but it’s hard to deny that the game’s server and performance issues are ruining the experience for many players.  Maybe we should be used to these kinds of issues by now (and the difficulty of developing a game during a global pandemic almost certainly exasperates them), but it’s a shame that Outriders hot debut has been cooled slightly by the fact that many people haven’t been able to connect to the game in the first place. Others simply aren’t able to enjoy it without navigating a variety…

Outriders Release Time: When Can You Start Playing the Game?

New DVD releaseoutriders, playing, release, start

Outriders is proving to be one of the most exciting game releases of the early part of 2021. While the buzz around the game was admittedly muted at first, a successful demo and the news that the game will be available on Game Pass as a day one release have put the looter shooter on the radar of many gamers looking for something new. That’s all great, but we know you’re here to see when you’ll actually be able to play Outriders. The answer to that question is surprisingly complicated. Square Enix and developer People Can Fly are utilizing a…

Outriders’ Campaign Length: How Long is the Game?

New DVD releasecampaign, length, outriders

If you suddenly find yourself very excited about Outriders, you’re not alone. While the game’s demo proved to be much more engaging than many people suspected it would be, it’s really the fact that 2021 has gotten off to such a slow start that has made the prospect of diving into this title that much more appealing than it may otherwise be. In case you don’t know, Outriders is a new looter shooter from developer People Can Fly: the same studio responsible for brilliant shooters like Bulletstorm and the Painkiller games. Much like those titles, Outriders features a chaotic style…

Outriders Release Date Delayed Until 2021

Square Enix has announced that Outriders‘ release date has been delayed as a result of complications caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. “It had been our full intention to deliver Outriders to you within the Holiday 2020 season,” says Toby Palm, Outriders Community Manager, in a blog post. “COVID-19 has certainly affected our operations over the past months, but the teams have all worked extremely hard to adapt to changing circumstances. While the core game is now in a largely complete state, our testing operations were unfortunately among the most affected by the work-process-restructuring caused by the novel coronavirus. To that…

Outriders Impressions: People Can Fly’s Co-op Shooter Wants the Loot Shooter Crown

New DVD releasecrown, impressions, outriders, people, shooter, wants

You have to admire the sheer tenacity of People Can Fly. After developing one of the most underrated first-person shooters ever in 2011’s Bulletstorm, the Polish studio was quickly snapped up by Epic Games to help ship a small indie title called Fortnite. You may have heard of it. However, Outriders is the developer’s opportunity to once again shine on its own. The team’s latest is a co-op shooter that takes heavy inspiration from The Division, Destiny, and Mass Effect while adding its own flourishes to the sci-fi shooter formula. During an online virtual demo earlier this month, I got…
