Expedition Timers have been removed

• What has been done?
  • Expeditions are no longer time restricted and the timer has become optional.
  • In this new system, finishing an expedition, regardless of how long it takes, will earn you the Expedition Reward.
• Why has this been done?
  • Previously, rewards for Expeditions were granted based on how quickly you could complete an Expedition. For most players, this meant forcing themselves into a specific DPS meta that stifled build diversity. We want players to play Outriders the way they’d prefer to, without needing to be worried that their playstyle would be punished by a timer.
• Give me the details!
  • As with the original Expeditions, completing an Expedition will grant item drops based on the Challenge Tier you complete it at. However, the previous Gold, Silver and Bronze re...

Quality of Life Improvements and other Upgrades and Changes

This section includes information about changes made Outriders in general since early April. Changes that have been newly implemented with the New Horizon Update are pre-faced with an [NH]. This is not an exhaustive list and we have resolved many more bugs, issues and crashes since launch.

• [NH] The video that plays when launching Outriders can now be skipped on all platforms apart from PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
• [NH] Added a Quick Mark functionality to Vendors.
• [NH] Improved the readability of Mod descriptions, especially when viewed on a large TV or Monitor. This change means that certain information is now viewed on the Details window rather than in the Quick View window.
• [NH] Reduced the volume of background audio of certain menu and loading screens.
• Greatly Improved Sign ...

Tiago’s Store has been Reworked

• What has been done?
  • Tiago’s store has been overhauled. It still sells Legendary gear, but now offers two additional options:
    • Re-roll the available Legendary gear on offer.
    • Purchase a mystery Legendary gear piece.
  • Both of these options will cost Drop Pod Resources.
• Why has this been done?
  • While we’ve greatly improved the overall Legendary drop changes and system since Outriders launch, we’re aware that players still would have liked a system that could improve their chances of acquiring very specific items. Tiago’s Store rework, alongside the Eye of the Storm reward changes, are both part of our steps towards making the hunt for Legendaries more fun while also making better use of Drop Pod Resources.
• Give me the details!
  • Re-rolling Tiago’s offer ...

Transmog System Added

• What has been done?
  • We’ve added a brand new Transmogrification system to Outriders. This allows you to change the visual aspect of an item to that of another item, while maintaining the mods and stats of the original gear piece. For weapons, this will also include all sounds.
  • Transmogging is entirely free and can be done practically at any time. No convoluted systems, MTX or ingame resources required.
• Why has this been done?
  • A Transmog system was one of the most requested features we saw about in the community after launch.
  • As we do not have the requirements of a live service game, we do not need to rely on a system like Transmog to nickle and dime players. This is why we’ve made it as simple, straightforward and player-friendly as possible.
• Give me the details!
  • Transmog is ac...

Four New Expeditions Added

• What has been done?
  • We’ve added four brand new and massive Expeditions, taking you to previously unexplored areas of Enoch.
• Why has this been done?
  • With the wealth of cool new stuff being added and great changes made to Outriders, we wanted to ensure that you also have a few new playgrounds to try everything out in a fresh setting. These new Expeditions should also tide you over till the release of our upcoming expansion: Worldslayer.
• Give me the details!
  • Each Expedition features an exciting mini story, connecting you with characters and events experienced in the main campaign.
  • Even new Expedition players will already have access to the first of the four fresh Expeditions, with the others unlocking at CT4, CT8 and CT12.
  • Molten Depths will send you back t...

Welcome to the New Horizon update!

Outriders New Horizon Update

This free update is the culmination of months of hard work spent improving Outriders, addressing feedback, and making it the game you asked for.

The New Horizon update will release at 16:00 GMT on 16 November 2021 and will be entirely free for all players, on all platforms.

This Megathread goes into the granular details of the exciting changes and new content that will be part of the New Horizon update. If you’d prefer to get just the highlights, our New Horizon Spotlight should help.

For anyone who hasn’t checked into Outriders since April, we’ve also in...

It may be that you're viewing Reddit on mobile vs desktop, or using old reddit vs new reddit, so you may not be able to see my flair, but it has an SE (Square Enix) logo in it.

Depending on where you're checking, you may also see me listed as "SE Toby".

Square itself has basically been uninvolved in any marketing or communication since the game launched,

Square Enix Community Manager here. Feel free to take a look at my post history if you think Square Enix has been uninvolved.

I've got a mega-thread planned for next week that will recap virtually everything that has been fixed since launch, alongside what the upcoming changes are.
