Outriders is an online-only co-op action role-playing third-person game developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix in 2021 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Stadia.
The game received mixed reviews from critics and players alike praising the game’s visuals, customization and gameplay while criticizing the story and the characters.
The difficulty system in Outriders is called World Tiers and there are 15 of them ranging from World Tier 01 to 15. The higher the level, the better the rewards. As you keep playing, higher World Tiers will unlock depending upon how efficiently you play.
There are 15 World Tiers that can be unlocked as you keep playing the game which are:
- World Tier 01
- World Tier 02
- World Tier 03
- World Tier 04
- World Tier 05
- World Tier 06
- World Tier 07
- World Tier 08
- World Tier 09
- World Tier 10
- World Tier 11
- World Tier 12
- World Tier 13
- World Tier 14
- World Tier 15
Now, you need not play on the highest tier when it’s unlocked if you’re comfortable playing on a lower one. You can always turn down the difficulty if you’re finding the game a bit too challenging.
How to change the World Tier in Outriders?
Here’s how you can change the World Tier:
1. Open the Game Menu.
2. Select World Tier.
3. Choose the World Tier you’d like to play in.
4. You can also let the game automatically set the highest tier by toggling on the ‘Auto Set Highest Available Tier’ setting.
Is Outriders a hard game?
Outriders can become harder as you progress through it due to unlocking higher World Tiers, but you can also change the difficulty, so it is a hard game only if you want it to be. But keep in mind that the higher the World Tier, the better the rewards you’ll receive.
Outriders incentivizes players to play on a harder difficulty as the highest World Tier offers a 500% increase in loot quality and a 425% increase in Legendary drop chance, but it also increases enemies’ power which can make the game significantly harder when compared to the previous tiers.
If you’re worried about locking yourself out of trophies and achievements for Outriders due to difficulty, then stop worrying. There are no difficulty related trophies in Outriders. It doesn’t matter on which difficulty you’re playing; you will still be able to unlock all trophies.
Now, getting all of them won’t be very easy but that’s another story, you don’t need to worry about any difficulty related trophies and achievements in the game.
How long does it take to complete Outriders?
According to the website HowLongToBeat, Outriders’ main campaign takes around 16 hours to complete. Completing both the main missions and side missions will take around 36 hours while a completionist run of the game will take around 62 hours to complete.
The general consensus of the endgame content for Outriders is said to be a bit boring and grindy so there’s no need to aim for a completionist run if you don’t bother about anything else other than the story. If you enjoy the game, then feel free to aim for a completionist run which can be time-consuming.
