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] 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.

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!

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.

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.

To be perfectly honest, I thought you were affiliated with PCF and not Square itself. Other games I've played that have a Square Enix social presence usually have their CMs as SQEX_Name in Reddit, so apologies about the wrong assumption, I wasn't trying to put you down.

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".

I don't think they'd make a stream for bugfixes. Square itself has basically been uninvolved in any marketing or communication since the game launched, so I'd actually assume that they're announcing something substantial rather than not.

All bets are in a DLC called New Horizon, since they've worded it like that several times.

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.

Hey Toby thanks for the reply. I am very confident this is a damage registry issue as opposed to something related to the after action summary. I've recorded three videos on Yagak to help illustrate this even further:

One shot with Charged Gunshot & Barrel Roll: https://youtu.be/u92ETGvDUus

One shot with Charged Gunshot only: https://youtu.be/xMdGaO9jSKQ

One shot w/o Charged Gunshot & Barrel Roll: https://youtu.be/dg0KZJ-EVGA

In the first two you will notice that the kill reticle is displayed, but he has nearly the same amount of health as compared to the last video. I had to change the build slightly between a couple of the runs to make sure I "killed" him, but I show the gear at the end of each. Also note I had a buddy help me with the circles for a couple of the runs to ...

Thank you very much for the vids! Since I reported the issue last night our team was able to reproduce it on their end.

We'll have to see if we're still able to identify a resolution and merge that fix into our November update, as the timelines for the November update mean that we're actually now at already at content lock - i.e. a stage where we're ensuring that the release build is stable, rather than adding anything to it. However, we'll try our best to see if we're able to find a way to integrate this solution via a day 0 patch or similar.

Thanks for the tag and the extensive information!

I'll ask the team to look into this - Do you have a video of the Yagak occurrence? I didn't immediately see it in the video you provided.

The after action summary screen has a known issue that we'll be resolving in future (quoted below) so I wonder whether this is slightly similar with regards to odd calculations for the summary and that the after action screen issue is a separate bug to what you've discovered.

For example, the below issue was discovered when we had the damage mitigation issue. However, while it appeared at the same time, it was NOT related to the damage mitigation issue and is a purely visual bug on the summary screen.

  • “Damage Blocked” Stat on Expeditions results screen occasionally appears inconsistently or abnormally low
    • Issue being investigated and aimed to be resolved in a future patch

I'm aware that Destiny, and many other games, have cross play between multiple platforms. Hell, Destiny is the main game I play. It's obvious with context that I was talking about Outriders, answering your question that was also obviously asking about Outriders specifically. But let me spell it out for you

OUTRIDERS ONLY HAS CROSS PLAY BETWEEN THE XBOX AND WINDOWS STORE VERSIONS.

OUTRIDERS ON STEAM HAS NO CROSS PLAY WITH OTHER PLATFORMS.

OUTRIDERS ON PLAYSTATION HAS NO CROSS PLAY WITH OTHER PLATFORMS.

Clear enough for you?

For the purposes of your examples, you confused Cross Play with Cross Save (You correctly stated the difference earlier on).

I'd recommend substituting Cross Play with Cross Save in your caps sentences, otherwise they are wrong.

Hey folks - This is an issue caused by a Steam-side update causing issues with EAC. We're working with EAC and Valve to sort this out.

I’m not sure if you saw my reply last week. You posted that the Journal bug was fixed. I confirmed myself that it is still bugged. Others have done the same, can you add it back to the list of tracked issues?

Looks like there are two separate instances of this bug, with one having been fixed with the latest patch and the other planned to be fixed in future. Will add it to the list of tracked issues.

Would be good if you could do maybe a tease or abit of a run down abit closer to the time. Unless you said that and I mis read.

That is planned in some form once we're close enough to make it all "feel real" to players.
