On Thursday, June 17, a new Devs-News update on Reddit from since the demo of the game released.
Outriders is a looter-shooter game, developed by People Can Fly, that echoes the Square Enix.
The Dev-News update included five key points: changes to the legendary drop rates, issues, patch news, appreciation package news and a list of known issues (via extreme loot competitiveness between match-made players during co-op expedition and endgame runs.
In the list of known issues, developers give a glimpse at some fixes that are coming in the patch, like all items in the backpack being marked as new when entering a new gameplay session and class-specific problems, as well as issues that are being investigated, like the scrap grenade mod not working after cutscenes and class-specific issues. Another issue being correcting concerns the Appreciation Package that was sent out, which gave some players a gun they already had. The developers are planning to reissue the package to players who already claimed it and received a duplicate. Developers at Player Can Fly are currently testing the patch to ensure there are no issues with the implementation and are hopeful that it will release this week.
Outriders set high expectations after the release of the demo in March 2021. It was hugely successful and received a ton of replay even though it was just 12 hours long. The replay came from either players starting new characters in one of the four classes, getting a favorite player to the highest available world-tier or farming and grinding for legendaries. Though the game suffered from server issues, bugs, glitches and design flaws at the beginning of the official release, overall, many would agree that the game is worth the playthrough. Now that a key issue that affected players' enjoyment of the game is being addressed in a new patch, along with other issues, players may go back to the game and stay around.
