Outriders - 30 Critical Tips and Tricks You NEED To Know!

[@alexlloyd9201]

You can swap weapons while rolling. Also, when activating blighted rounds or the trickster's Anomaly bullets ability, it will automatically refill your magazine. So it's good to empty all but 2 or 3 of the bullets in your autoshotty mag, activate the ability which will instantly reload your gun, then empty out it again

[@la7era1u54]

I'm pretty sure you activate in the middle of a reload too for an instant full mag

[@ltlifecash5879]

Can also drop abilities while reloading and it wont cancel reload.

That's awesome! Thank you! I'm an old man (55) and I'm looking forward to all the tips you young guys come up with. Seriously thank you

[@la7era1u54]

@@Nocuadra66 I'm not much younger, 45. We belong to a rare club of gamers that can say we played from the inception of gaming until today. I still remember the day my family got our first Atari 2600 and Commodore 64. I game more now than I did in my mid 20s and 30s since my oldest kids are grown, 1 left at home who also games with me. I also work for myself now, making my own schedule.

[@BlkLotus_81]

Salaam bro: here's a tip if you didn't know, playing as a pyromancer you can use volcanic round mod to do long range crowd control as well as hit hidden enemies simply by aiming below the red dot. The volcanic rounds mod sets them on fire even if you miss and then goes thru them to ignite enemies near them

[@blackadam6445]

They did a good job at making devastator tanking that bullet reflect ability is crazy. I’m not max level yet tho keep that in mind

I really like the potential for a support technomancer, lots of freezing, heals, 45% vuln whenever you use freeze or toxic. Sounds like it could be good... plus some Mr Torgue approved explosions.

[@colby8104]

EXPLOSIONZZZZZZZ!!!!

[@Jsobone]

I love poison and ice skills, also having a healing skill. However after playing all the classes, I had to choose pyro. If it was more of a cryomancer or necromancer class, I would have been down. Maybe for a second character I'll run the Technomancer.

[@andrewmarceau422]

@@Jsobone I think Tech will be a great beginner class (and dev) to run thru to learn the gameplay, mobs and their abilities before rocking pyro where it will appear to have a much higher learning curve. But Pyro is fun as hell once you figure it out.

[@Jsobone]

@@andrewmarceau422 for sure. Personally I was more sold on the pyro. If they had a class that was ice focused like the pyro it would have been a harder choice. Also poison. The kit for techno is solid and will be an easy pickup for most.

[@Andy_Paris]

@@Jsobone The Techomancer has a dedicated Ice Build for it, with several Ice Powers including a Rocket Launcher that completely freezes enemies, a Cryo Turret, and Cold Snap. The skill tree has plenty of augments to increase your freezing effects and includes melee. There's a Legendary armor set called Borealis Monarch that does more damage to frozen enemies and so on.

[@jaklol1124]

you can animation cancel a reload at around 80% reload timer by using melee, helps out in those tough spots where you need to slow/freeze them to survive long enough for a kill heal

[@COLDSIDE34]

This is the first video i have watched that Actually Very informative

[@SoldierBoy3064]

yo this video has mad knowledge in it... its an essential watch thank pal

[@kimwiklund3934]

Super helpful. the one that you could melee out of frozen was a good send. did not know that.

[@Cortanis001]

Some things to be noted. The crafting system allows you to upgrade a weapon's rarity. Problem is that it then takes a rarer material to upgrade the weapon from there. Players SHOULD NOT upgrade the rarities of gear like that until the end game. This is particularly relevant to the dlc gear as you can't delete it but it also comes with some pretty all around decent stats. The thing to do later is farm out those rank 2 and 3 mods so you can slot them in on a blue weapon. Then when you have the base mod on that you actually want on it, then upgrade it so you can put a second mod you actually want on it. Case in point... Slot in Death Chains or Ravenous Locust on a sniper rifle. Then upgrade it to put on the other mod. Now you have a gun that even if the headshot isn't effective like against many of the heavy units, the double dot will do some real work. Don't know if they can be upgraded further yet, but I think it's gambling from there.

[@mrmagoo8956]

Time stamps are a nice touch👍🏻

[@bayouninja48]

Used every character devastator is my go to from now on so much fun. The reflect, 50% more dmg to harder enemies, and the gear to fight while reflect is up is the best OP build for him. Other gear is 2 slams and 25% more reflect dmg

[@Harkonis]

The way the dev answer for status stacking reads it sounds like you can stack from one player to another but it refreshes if the same player cast it again. So two players could both put bleeds on the same target but one person could not put two bleeds on it. This helps avoid somebody feeling like their class is useless if they double up on the same status ie two pyros is not less effective.

[@FenrirNox]

My birthday is in April yet I'm far more excited for this game. The fact that it's not live service is what sealed the deal for me. Looks and feels great! Biggest problem is: I like every class!

[@briangilbert4420]

Toxic also spreads to nearby enemies. It's a great way for technomancer to heal. And with the toxic applies vulnerable skill will melt groups of enemies

[@ericdunthorne1981]

You nailed it. I thought you were going to miss a couple things but.. As far as I know you didn't miss a thing. The only status I knew how to remove was fire. I'll be looking forward to further Outriders content.

[@ircha]

Super helpful, thanks!!

[@tonybeaumont8289]

targeted loot based on your build is totally neat, and something I would've totally missed

[@tristengranpa]

If you’re stuck on an area rebuild/respeccing your character is the best. Don’t stress about mods too much but try to collect as many as you can and try out different weapons and variants to find your playstyle

[@teddy5004]

Yup! Stats on gear is 10x more important than mods. Especially since you can change the mods (for the most part) I'd rather have rare gear with 1 correct mod and the correct stats than epic/legendary gear with the wrong stats and the correct mod.

[@itzmisfit__5025]

Honestly man you just earned a sub !

[@therick14d]

13:10 "Only one player can apply a certain status effect on an enemy." The in-game guide says the exact opposite. Each player can apply one of each status. So Players A and B can each apply their own Bleeds, but Player A cannot apply two stacks of Bleed themselves.

[@Vulkan_Gaming]

Interesting! I will go back and read that again, maybe I misinterpreted it as that was what this info was from.

[@usmc4good]

This goes with saying to those familiar with shooter genres, but don’t discount critical hits and Crit damage. While the chance for Crits on body shots is fairly low (right now @early game at least) remember headshots always count as critical hits, so always go for the head. Especially if you have a mod that gives healing on critical hits. ( Like mod #2 on the Thunderbird)

Based on the way the toxic effect works, you just know there's gonna be some kind of raid boss that deals potent toxic damage with no ways to kill mobs to heal yourself, so you'll need a Technomancer. As usually, healers are the most valuable.

[@edwardragsdale1730]

Wow 😳 Unbelievable presentation and very useful information Vulkan 👍 Keep up the Great work !!!!!

[@manikal99]

U said save ur materials for end game. However if u have a legendary gun u enjoy using, use ur mats to level it up

[@Andy_Paris]

The devs have already said it is best to use your mats on endgame weapon drops since it would become expensive to keep leveling up a low level weapon. It's only worth leveling up a Legendary if you can't find another one in time for higher level content. So if you hit a difficulty spike, and need your weapon to be stronger to get through that content for that moment, leveling up your Legendary weapon for example can be worth it, otherwise save those resources up for high level items.

[@teddy5004]

Technomancer has a very good ability to stack both status and ability damaye by stacking your Freeze, Toxic, and Vulnerability all in one attack, and you can spam melee and your freeze enabled abilities to easily stack freeze and vulnerability... I went heavy into ability power/cooldown armor with status weapons and can melt even larger enemies almost instantly by spamming out abilities that inflict heavy status.

@@JP-nh6id Pestilent rounds pretty much the same deal as twisted rounds, plus you can heal without actually killing anything, Much better vs Bosses.

[@JP-nh6id]

@@TheRhysStreams agree to disagree toxic damage actually only does 3.5% of your anomaly power every .5 seconds for 6 seconds, my twisted rounds add 243 firepower to every shot I take, plus another 15% on top of that because of a head mod, not to mention twisted cooldown is 20 seconds and blighted rounds is I think 50 seconds.

[@la7era1u54]

The named Debuffs don't stack, but the generic ones do. Example: The heat wave mod that makes enemies take 35% extra damage can stack with itself and with 1 vulnerability. I have 2 heatwaves for a total of 70% extra damage. If I add vulnerability it goes to 95% extra damage. I've tested it in the demo and I can 1 shot the captain with thermal bomb if he is debuffed twice. Before I had enough anomaly power I had to debuff him with vulnerability also, but after getting more gear the vulnerability debuff is unnecessary

[@zacharygaume4395]

@Vulkan good stuff, thanks man. Got a quick follow-up question related to crafting. I understand that when you craft in a new mod, the other mod slot locks making it so you can only swap out the slot modded. Can you still then make other modifications like swapping out a max health for crit damage? I'm just curious if the crafting operates like Diablo III or even The Division 2 in the sense that once you modify something, only that one slot can be modified.

[@exyscube]

Pyromancers actually do have a healing skill - feed the flames.

[@webernogueira1119]

Technomancer is invincible with the minigum equipped with a mod that doubles the loaders, because they cause so much damage that the regeneration is so fast that it is impossible to die. Combine this with two turrets (ice and toxic) that when they do damage also recover your life, that you have an excellent healer with very decent DPS for any situation.

[@teddy5004]

For some enemies yes... But not for any burst DPS enemies like elites with shotguns... I usually go heavy with the life leech/healing and ability power yet an elite with a shotgun can easily wipe the floor with you since you cant dodge or hardly move at all.

Is anomaly power ties to any specific stat or is it just an indicator of how "strong" you are?

[@Anthonyh723]

It relates to how strong your skill abilities are

[@la7era1u54]

I would think taking the "gun type" nodes on the skill tree would help your RNG if your trying to get a specific lego to drop. Example: If I want a better chance for Aerie Master to drop I would take the shotgun nodes to make more shotguns drop over all

Gear stats are random I believe

[@nathonmowbray]

I don't really agree with you in the sense of crafting, the thing that makes this game great is if you find a weapon or gear you like you can use crafting to keep that gear with you all the way to the end through crafting and continuing to update your gear. This is not your typical looter shooter where the good weapons and gear doesn't drop till end game, in this game you can update/upgrade your gear all the way through and you can get legendaries right from the beginning which is amazing.

So do you know how much Titanium it takes to upgrade a Legendary. I have a almost god roll on a Thunderbird and thinking about leveling it with me. Say's that it ups the Fire Power so if you get a 380 roll now should be amazing to level.

[@sorry4flying]

What do you mean you almost have a god roll? Every legendary in the demo has the same rolls

[@rudysarcade]

@@sorry4flying no only the mods are static the damage and stats are random. Max damage roll at level 9 is 385 on a legendary. So 380+ is pretty much god roll. When you upgrade a weapon fire power goes up from what it is and other stats random reroll.. so if the gun is only 220 and you upgrade it might go to 250. If it's already max around 380 it will upgrade to 400 or something. So every time you upgrade it should be near max roll

Howdy, you are wrong about status stacking. While you cannot yourself stack multiple instances of the same status and applying it only refreshes it, each playing in multiplayer will have their own instance of the status and for vulnerable you can stack up to 75% vulnerable. It's both confirmed by the devs and in the in-game guide. You might wanna correct that little detail if possible
