Als je fan bent van looter shooters, zal je vast Outriders kunnen waarderen. Ook wij waren gecharmeerd, al konden we niet over het hoofd zien dat de titel eveneens zijn mindere kantjes had. Zoals het een goede ontwikkelaar betaamt, blijft People Can Fly nu ook na de release nog vlijtig sleutelen aan de game, in een poging het niveau verder op te krikken.

Eergisteren kreeg Outriders een patch, waarvan de notities inmiddels zijn vrijgegeven. De belangrijkste toevoeging was eerder al aangekondigd: het wordt nu wel degelijk heel wat gemakkelijker om de fel begeerde legendarische wapens aan je inventaris toe te voegen. De (talrijke) andere aanpassingen vind je overigens hieronder terug.

Outriders June 22 Update Patch Notes

WE’VE MADE SOME CHANGES TO THE LEGENDARY DROPS.

  • Legendary Drop Rates, across the board, increased by 100%

  • Legendary Level Brackets have been removed, so that all Legendary items can drop at any level.

    • Previously, some items could only drop from enemies of certain levels or above. For example, the Ugake Cowl could only drop from enemies of level 48 or higher.

  • Legendary Anti-Duplication System implemented

    • This system will mean that if a character has an item in their inventory or stash and a duplicate item is rolled, the dropped item will be re-rolled once.

    • Note that this system does not guarantee that every drop will be unique. Rather, it is designed to provide a second roll at avoiding a duplicate.

  • Scripted Boss Loot (Chrysaloid, Yagak) are now able to drop all non-class specific Legendary Helmets

    • This change will improve the variety of items in the Campaign.

    • Previously, these bosses would only drop a selection of Legendaries (the same pool that was available in the Demo as well as the Cannonball Helmet).

  • The Luck system has been improved and players should no longer experience very long droughts without a Legendary item dropped during endgame.

    • The base scaling of Legendaries dropping through higher difficulty levels still applies, so you may will still want to farm as high as possible.
