The Outriders demo has been a roaring success, in no small part due to its progression passing to the primary game. It could even stop up existence one of the best Xbox I games of the year The keenest gamers who know they're going to sink hundreds of hours into the terminal game accept been using the demo to load up their characters ahead of launch so they accept a chip of an advantage going into the next chapter.

In particular, many accept been farming the demo'south bosses, higher difficulty enemies with a higher chance of dropping legendary weapons. At that place are 10 legendaries in the demo and some players are going later as many as they can get sinking hours into running the aforementioned part of the game over and over. Yeah, including me.

It'south mayhap a little surprising to the dev team people are doing this. That tone certainly comes across in the latest update from the team, though folks who have been able to play previous, closed playtests of the game seem insistent these methods won't exist necessary in the last release. Merely we are where we are. And Outriders is a ton of fun, even just with this small-scale snippet of the game to play.

In response to feedback and their own telemetry, the Outriders developer will exist making a number of changes to the demo. These will bear on how those farming the game can acquire those precious legendaries and make a couple of balancing adjustments to the bosses.

The Helm mob ability "From the Ashes" and "Phoenix Aureola" will have their cooldowns increased.

Changes to Gauss

Gauss will have his health points increased for repeat playthroughs.

Gauss healing from his power "Steel Wall" will be increased.

Changes to loot drops

While we do not want to foreclose farming runs (We get it!), the lootcave discovered via the triple breast-run, as well as the store exploit, do not feel to be within the spirit of the game. To that end, we are redirecting farming efforts to mechanics in the game that may be more enjoyable for players to play through and repeat.

Epic items will no longer appear in shops and vendors (within the demo).

Chests volition no longer driblet legendary items.

Side quest rewards (on repeat runs) will at present have a run a risk to drop legendary items.

Drop rates for enemies won't exist changed at this fourth dimension, and then if you want to proceed killing that Helm over and over, yous can and you won't have a worse take chances of getting a legendary drib.

Abroad from loot, a number of quality of life issues have been discussed, including motion blur. Initially we were told motion mistiness could exist disabled in the final game. But, that seems to be coming frontwards to the demo. All platforms volition be getting a motion blur toggle with the next patch.

In improver, the frame rate in cut scenes is being tweaked, though a more than comprehensive solution for those will be pushed out with the last game.

There are also PC, PlayStation and Xbox specific updates headed, and then cheque out the full post to become a handle on everything. The patch is currently in testing and is expected to exist released to all platforms early on side by side calendar week.
