Outriders Worldslayer has been updated!
The complete Patch Notes spans two Announcements, as they are too long to be contained in a single one.
This announcement covers all changes regarding the game balance.
General Changes, New Features and Bug Fixes are in this announcement.
All changes made in today's patch have been very carefully considered and many of them are the results of direct feedback and discussions with and within the community.
For additional context around what we chose to address: A few weeks after Worldslayer had launched and we had been able to gather enough data, we drew up a full view of which Pax Nodes were being used by what percentage of the player population.
This task highlighted that a small number of nodes were seeing usages of 40% to 60% or more. On the other hand, some other nodes were seeing 1% or similar usage. The reasons for this are two-fold: Many of the highly used nodes were in a state where to not use them would be to deny oneself a lot of damage output - they were must haves in the eyes of players. These are the kind of nodes that allowed players to kill bosses within seconds, to become immortal or to even entirely ignore cooldown mechanics and in a few cases these unintended performances were the result of bugs within the node mechanics. On the other hand, the lesser picked nodes were not considered valuable enough when compared to the others.
We primarily saw this behaviour on the Devastator, Pyromancer and Technomancer trees. The Trickster Pax Tree was seen to be very balanced overall, with most nodes seeing an average 25% pick rate, which indicates that players are much more able to play according to their style, without being forced into "must have" nodes.
As has ever been our goal, we want players to have as much choice and as many viable build options as possible. When new players join Outriders, we do not want there to be a single answer to questions regarding "what build should I play?"
While today's balancing contains a very large number of changes that will make many things more powerful and viable, none of those changes would matter if we left the over-performers entirely unchecked. However, please bear in mind that even if a handful of nodes and mods have seen their power curtailed, we have generally tried to compensate for that power loss in other areas of the game.
We hope you will enjoy the new balancing in Outriders Worldslayer - see you on Enoch!

Outriders Worldslayer has been updated!
Our teams are continuing to work hard on improving the Outriders Worldsayer experience, and we will share news of future update plans when we are able to.
A large number of players have been abusing an exploit which allows them to bypass all other content and infinitely farm the final Arbiter in the Trial of Tarya Gratar.
Rather than punish players and reduce overall farming opportunities, we would like to realign your options to give you more choice, rather than less.
These changes will make the Trove areas of the game more attractive while also helping ensure an overall run-through of the Trial becomes more rewarding than before.
Compared to before, where the amount of Apocalypse Legendaries obtained from a full run through of the Trial was a minimum of 6, in the new system a complete run through all rooms in the Trial will net a player a guaranteed minimum of 9 Apocalypse Legendaries + RNG chances for others.
The most efficient way of farming legendaries should therefore shift to something much more fun and variable, rather than players feeling like they need to repeat the same fight ad infinitum if they want to be as efficient as possible.
These changes to Technomancer Armour Sets will better allow these sets to synergize with the Pax tree introduced in Outriders Worldslayer. Particularly the "Depleted Core" node in the Technomancer's Pax Tree will benefit greatly from the change towards making these gear pieces better reliant on Status Power.

It’s been a short few months since we rolled out our free New Horizon update, which added some new content, implemented a lot of player feedback and generally made Outriders more of the game you asked for. That being said, there are always more things that could be added and improved upon, and Outriders Worldslayer is here to do just that.
Outriders Worldslayer is designed to be the supreme version of Outriders and has been developed with both new players and veterans in mind. While Worldslayer content does pick up after the events of Outriders, any player can start with Worldslayer content even before playing the Outriders content. Worldslayer will allow players to carry over their existing characters, or create an entirely new Level 30 character with direct access to Worldslayer content. It’s a great time to bring friends on board who might have missed Outriders the first time around as you will all start Worldslayer on equal footing. And don’t worry - thanks to the timeline, you can go back and play Outriders content even if you start with Worldslayer.
If you’ve watched our Worldslayer reveal Spotlight or perhaps even tuned in for our full reveal Broadcast, you’ll likely already have caught glimpses of some of the new things coming to Worldslayer. As is tradition we of course want to provide a bit more detail on all those things right here in the community - let’s take a look!

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 post will cover the highlights of the New Horizon Update, but do check out our mega-blog if you're interested in more specific details of everything or learning more about how much Outriders has changed since launch.
We today also revealed our upcoming expansion: Worldslayer. We’ll share more about Worldslayer in Spring 2022, but today is dedicated to the New Horizon update.
To celebrate the release of this update we have prepared a special New Horizon Celebration Package for all players, including new Demo players! Simply launch or download Outriders and start playing between November 16th, 3pm UTC / 8am PST and November 30th, 3pm UTC / 8am PST. You will then receive a free Legendary Armour item on your most experienced character’s inventory or your stash within 24 to 48 hours.
Thank you for playing the Outriders New Horizon update and we look forward to seeing you on Enoch!
For more details on each of these changes, please scroll down through the DETAILED CHANGES section. Bug Fixes can be found in the BUG FIXES section at the bottom of this post.
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.
For more details please check out our mega-blog.
We’ve added four brand new and massive Expeditions, taking you to previously unexplored areas of Enoch.
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.
For more details please check out our mega-blog.
Tiago’s store has been overhauled. It still sells Legendary gear, but now offers two additional options:
Both of these options will cost Drop Pod Resources.
For more details please check out our mega-blog.
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.

Index: General News Weapon Mods Buffed Topic for Discussion: The Weapon Mod-Meta Patch News General News: Our upcoming patch is unfortunately not ready for release – however, we have managed to bring forward and release a small number of buffs that were planned to be implemented
Our upcoming patch is unfortunately not ready for release – however, we have managed to bring forward and release a small number of buffs that were planned to be implemented later on as part of a wider rebalance. We have been able to make these changes today because they involve on backend balancing, rather than changes to game-code.
The below buffs have been implemented as part of today’s maintenance event. No download is necessary for them to take effect.
You may notice that a few of the above mods falls within a very particular category of mods:
Most of them are “single-target” or “cleave” mods, meaning that their damage potential is limited to a single enemy or a small group of linked enemies. For the purposes of this discussion, we’ll refer to these mods as ST Mods. This contrasts with “uncapped AOE” mods (such as Moaning Winds), which deal damage to an unlimited number of enemies in their respective (and usually larger) AOE radius.
The current mod-meta in Outriders currently centres around 3 “Pillars”.
Today’s buffs are only our first steps towards addressing those aspects of the above mod-meta which we deem to be unhealthy for the development of fun and varied builds in Outriders. We will be making changes in future that will be aimed at disrupting the meta, but doing so in a way that opens up many more fun options and alternatives for players.
Below is an overview of how we see the current situation.
This brings us to the next two Pillars, B and C. We believe (and think that you’ll agree) that the current meta that involves B and C has fundamentally stifled the need to run anything else. There is little incentive to experiment with other mods when these will always be more powerful.
We also continue to be very aware that a timer based Endgame is part of the problem in that it forces a DPS oriented build, rather than a survival or just pure “fun” build.
These are the current challenges that we believe the Outriders weapon mod-meta is facing today. Today’s Buffs are only the first steps to remedying the situation and we are starting with a partial look at Pillar A. We will discuss Pillars B and C and the best ways to tackle them in future.
Note that we are also working on changes to certain under-utilized Legendary Armour Sets. However, as these changes will also required code-work, we'll talk more about them closer to their release.
Our latest patch is currently undergoing the usual test-cycle, but we wanted to share some highlights of the upcoming fixes and changes with you already today.
Please do bear in mind that our current testing is still validating the below fixes so some of them may not be 100% guaranteed for this patch. Also note that this is not an exhaustive list and is still subject to change as we pass through the testing phase. The final patch will include more fixes and improvements.

As mentioned this Tuesday, while testing this patch we came across a couple of crashes. Community discussions indicate that these issues appear, for the most part, to already be present in the game.
We are therefore releasing this patch in the knowledge that these issues exist and the belief that this patch will not introduce them.
There is a risk, however, that this patch may increase the frequency of one or both of these issues, but this is something we will only be able to determine with data analysis after the patch releases. Please do also be sure to let us know if you experience any increased crashing following this patch.
Fixes for these issues are already being worked on to be implemented at the next available opportunity.

Today’s changes focus primarily on buffing underused skills and improving player survivability via Armour rebalancing. This is only an initial first pass, based on the mass player data that we’re seeing in our analytics. If something has not been mentioned here, do not fret. Work is already underway for upcoming balance passes, which will look at other topics of focus, including legendary drop distribution.
We are also aware that Timed Expeditions remain a point of contention regarding balancing and that they are fundamental problem for many players as their timed nature can drive a too heavily DPS focused meta.
Addressing the root cause of this issue is something that will take a longer time. This is not something we will be able to address as part of the immediately upcoming patches, but we are working on this issue and are continuing to look into what is feasible in the long term.
