As we near the one-month anniversary of the launch of Outriders, People Can Fly and Square Enix have released what stands as the biggest update for the game so far. With that in mind, this latest patch contains more bug fixes, gameplay changes, and quality of life alterations than you would probably expect.

[REBALANCE] The Over levelling System/Scaling Multipliers have been adjusted

  • The system will activate one level later, when your average gear level is a minimum of 3 Levels higher than the enemies you’re facing [Previous: 2]
  • Outgoing damage will now be reduced less
  • Improvements made to Incoming damage scale, meaning players will feel more powerful without completely eliminating the threat of enemy NPCs
  • Conditions that will trigger the system have been cleaned up, which will eliminate unintuitive behaviour such as damage increases when using low level weapons

Fixed an issue where the host would be unable to select a story point that other clients had not unlocked.

  • A notification will now also be displayed to the host warning them that the clients may not have unlocked that part of the story.
  • Clients will now properly receive the “story mismatch prompt” when joining a host.

Crafting

  • [REBALANCE] Cost of improving Rare to Epic and levelling up Epic gear from levels 1 to 30 have been lowered.
  • This will make improving items cheaper in the early game
  • Fixed a bug where a skill damage improvement mod on gear with a higher level than the player would actually reduce damage when used at lower World Tiers.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the UI to display a 0 in the preview when upgrading the Hell’s Rangers weapons.

  • Fixed a bug that was causing Pyromancers to exit cover after using the Thermal Bomb skill.

  • Fixed a bug whereby the Toxic Lead armour mod was not triggering properly if an enemy was killed via a skill.
  • Fixed a bug where Technomancers would be stuck on their main weapon if they used Tools of Destruction and Pain Launcher at the same time.
  • Fixed a bug with Tools of Destruction where melee or further skill use was prevented if the skill was interrupted by using the mouse wheel.
  • Fixed a bug whereby The Perpetuum Mobile weapon mod was also replenishing the Technomancer’s Tools of Destruction Minigun ammo.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed the Technomancer’s Turrets to be placed on vertical surfaces.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause the AI to ignore Technomancers if a turret had been spawned before the AI spawned.

  • [PLAYSTATION] Fixed an issue that caused the Technomancer’s Scrapnel skill to break the sprint animation.
  • Fixed the set description of the Borealis Monarch set [English Language].

  • [PLAYSTATION] Fixed a bug that could cause the Spiderlings to freeze during the third phase of the Molten Acari boss fight.

Chrysaloid

  • Debuff icons applied to the Chrysaloid boss will now remain in between phases.
  • Fixed an issue where the Chrysaloid boss fight does not progress if the player kills the boss during the black screen between phases.

Yagak

  • Fixed a bug that could give Devastators unlimited healing when using the Impale Skill during the Yagak fight.
  • [PLAYSTATION] Fixed a bug that caused Yagak’s tentacle ability to damage players before it actually landed

Fixed an issue whereby old crash dumps were not being properly cleared from the player’s system.
