It was previously triggering twice for Client players. The damage on Client will now match the damage on Host.nnnFixed a bug that would prevent mods inserted in armor from properly scaling with the armors level if the armor was upgraded through Zahedi. This bug would previously fix itself after an area transition.nnnFixed a bug that caused the “Even Odds” mod to stack 5 times, instead of the stated 3 times.nnnChanged the “Armor Boost” mod so that it now scales to the armor item it is inserted into, rather than scaling with the player level and stopping at level 30.nnnFixed a bug that caused the “Emergency Stance” mod to not trigger if the damage instance that proc’d the mod also inflicted “Knockback” on the player.nnnFixed a bug that caused the “Anomaly Mutation” mod to not inflict the Burn or Slow status as intended.nnnFixed a bug that caused the “Bullet Absorption” mod to replenish 80% instead of it’s intended 40% of ammo.nnnFixed an issue that could cause frame (FPS) drops if the “Damage Link” mod was using in combination with the “Pain Transfer” mod.nnnFixed a bug that could cause the Pyromancer’s armor mod “Phoenix Force” to not increase Anomaly Power after consuming a status condition.nnnFixed a bug that allowed Borrowed Time to stack it’s bonus infinitely if the “Armor of Eons” and “Short Term Loan” mods were combined and spammed.nnBug Fixes to Skills:nnFixed a bug that could cause the Tricksters “Hunt the Prey” ability to lock up under certain circumstances.nnnThe Devastator’s “Impale” skill now no longer blocks Obelisks from continuing to charge while an impaled enemy is present.nnnThe description for “Endless Mass” now also mentions the Slow status effect that it inflicts.nnnFixed a bug that would prevent the Technomancer “Cold Snap” skill from freezing enemies if it was triggered while the player rolled off an edge.nnnFixed a bug that could cause Technomancer Turrets to fall through the ground if they were thrown too low or too high.nnnAdded the icon for the “Cryo Turret” skill to the Technomancer’s “Engineer” and “Senior Engineer” class nodes. These nodes were already affecting the “Cryo Turret” skill anyway.nnBug Fixes to Class Nodes:nnFixed a bug that resulted in the Pyromancer “Gifted” class node not granting it’s bonuses properly.nnExpedition Timers have been removednnWhat has been done?nnExpeditions are no longer time restricted and the timer has become optional.nnnIn this new system, finishing an expedition, regardless of how long it takes, will earn you the Expedition Reward.nnnnWhy has this been done?nnPreviously, rewards for Expeditions were granted based on how quickly you could complete an Expedition. For most players, this meant forcing themselves into a specific DPS meta that stifled build diversity. We want players to play Outriders the way they’d prefer to, without needing to be worried that their playstyle would be punished by a timer.nnnnGive me the details!nnAs with the original Expeditions, completing an Expedition will grant item drops based on the Challenge Tier you complete it at. However, the previous Gold, Silver and Bronze reward levels have been scrapped. In this new system, finishing an expedition, regardless of how long it takes, will earn you that expedition’s reward. No matter how long you take.nnnAs different Expeditions have shorter or longer base completion times, the amount of Gear and Drop Pod Resources you can receive has been scaled according the average global level completion times our data observed over the past few months.nnnThis change means that longer Expedition levels, such as Scorched Land, will give you a greater amount of Gear, while shorter Expeditions, such as Boom Town, will give you slightly less Gear.nnnUnpaid or “free” expeditions will continue to have their base “Bonus Reward”, but all paid expeditions (paid for with Drop Pod Resources) will offer an “Increased Rarity Bonus Reward“. Scaling of the bonus reward according to Challenge Tiers remains as previously.nnnThis scaling has been implemented so that you can play any Expedition and feel rewarded for the time you’ve invested into it, rather than feeling like longer or paid for Expeditions are not an efficient enough farming method.nnnThe new rewards structure was developed using analytics data from median player completion times for challenges, and we have adjusted the amount of rewards based on that data. We have not based the rewards structure on top player completions.nnnThe cost of paid-for Expeditions will now also scale with tiers and they will therefore naturally also provide higher rewards and chances for Legendary and Epic items relevant to their length when compared to free Expeditions.nnnThis scaling means that a player’s average “Legendary Items Per X Timeframe” will be relatively consistent across all Expeditions, thus giving you more options to enjoy different Expeditions.nnnThe highest reward in the new system will be as follows:nnA completion of the Eye of the Storm on Tier 15 will provide 4x 50% chance for legendary item + 1 guaranteed Legendary item from the selectable reward. You will additionally have the possibility to receive a legendary item via the bonus rewards.nnnnnTo demonstrate this, we’ve pulled out a few different expeditions and their reward structures under the new system and have shown them in the table below.nnnNote that the overall chance for Legendary Items have not been listed numerically here as this table is mainly to demonstrate that, generally speaking, the longer and harder an expedition, the more rolls and the greater the chance for high end gear is. It is up to the individual player to determine whether they’d prefer to spend their time running multiple shorter expeditions (such as Boom Town) with an overall lower chance of Legendary gear or whether they’d prefer to run longer expeditions (such as Scorched Lands) with an overall higher chance of Legendary gear.nnExpeditionnDrop Pod Cost To Enter at CT15nDrop Pod Reward for Completing at CT15nChance of Legendary Item per Primary Reward Roll at CT15nNumber of Rolls for Primary Reward at CT15nBoom Townn0n26400nBase Expeditions chancen2nChem Plantn0n40000nBase Expeditions chancen3nMolten Depthsn0n45600nBase Expeditions chancen3nThe Drought Palacen27000n50000nSlightly higher than base Expeditions chancen4nCollosseumn28000n51000nHigher than base Expeditions chancen4nScorched Landn33000n61500nSignificantly higher than base Expeditions chancen4nEye of the Stormn40000n75000nHighest possible chance in Expeditionsn4 + A single choice from 3 Legendary gear optionsnnThe timer for Expeditions can still be turned on in your HUD Settings menu via the “Enable Expedition Timer” setting. However, enabling this option will not affect the rewards you receive, but is there for your own tracking and speedrunning purposes.nnEnabling this option will also display your best completion times for each Expedition.nnnFour New Expeditions AddednnWhat has been done?nnWe’ve added four brand new and massive Expeditions, taking you to previously unexplored areas of Enoch.nnnnWhy has this been done?nnWith the wealth of cool new stuff being added and great changes made to Outriders, we wanted to ensure that you also have a few new playgrounds to try everything out in a fresh setting. These new Expeditions should also tide you over till the release of our upcoming expansion: Worldslayer.nnnnGive me the details!nnEach Expedition features an exciting mini story, connecting you with characters and events experienced in the main campaign.nnnEven new Expedition players will already have access to the first of the four fresh Expeditions, with the others unlocking at CT4, CT8 and CT12.nnnMolten Depths will send you back to Eagle Peaks. When a drop pod signal activated, Dunham investigated and found a hidden power station. In order to take it back online, she wants you to clear out the station from any unwanted tenants, no matter the size, shape and form.nnnThe City of Nomads will confront you with a character, who is haunted by the sins of his past. Very aware of his dark history, you decide to help him in protecting the old Pax village Uketu Atarah.nnnIn The Marshal’s Complex, Corrigan, the great grand marshal himself asks you to reclaim a facility near Deadrock Pass, taken by insurgents. It won’t take you long to discover that this facility is anything but just another insurgent camp.nnnLast but not least: The Wellspring. Tiago told you about the Pax legend of a sacred place called Atuma ih Taru, where pilgrims would take long travels to sacrifice their treasures into deep wells. You and your team are in search of those forgotten riches, if it wasn’t for this tremendous storm that seems to get stronger and stronger.nnnnShow me!nnNew Horizon Spotlight: New Expeditions Chapter (TIMESTAMPED LINK)nnnTransmog System AddednnWhat has been done?nnWe’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.nnnTransmogging is entirely free and can be done practically at any time. No convoluted systems, MTX or ingame resources required.nnnnWhy has this been done?nnA Transmog system was one of the most requested features we saw about in the community after launch.nnnAs we do not have the requirements of a live service game, we do not need to rely on a system like Transmog to nickle and dime players. This is why we’ve made it as simple, straightforward and player-friendly as possible.nnnnGive me the details!nnTransmog is accessed through a new tab in the Customization Menu as well as through a shortcut in a given items Detail View screen.nnnOpening the Transmog menu will give you access to all collected and available looks for the given item.nnnIn this menu, you are able to preview and either apply a Transmog look to the given item, or even apply the same Transmog set in one go.nnnFrom now on, any gear item you find in Outriders will be automatically added to your Transmog Library.nnnAll items that are currently in your stash and inventory have been added to your Transmog library.nnnYour Transmog Library spans across your entire account and is not character specific. Any designs found on a new character will be added to the global account Transmog library.nnnYou will only need to collect items once and will then be able to apply their Transmog effects an unlimited amount of times.nnnAny item can be Transmogged an unlimited number of times.nnnTransmog is only possible within the same gear categories, e.g. Automatic shotguns into Automatic shotguns.nnnTransmogged Items have an extra Icon on their item view to identify them as transmogged.nnnTransmogged Items retain the colour shading of the original gear piece. If you make a Legendary Gear piece look like a Common gear piece for example, the background colour shading will remain Legendary Gold.nnnHow many more times can we write the word Transmog in this section?nnnWe’ve also added 11 new skins to the game, one per weapon class, for you to hunt down. You won’t be able to obtain these from standard drops though… a little exploration will be in order.nnnnShow me!nnNew Horizon Spotlight: Transmog Chapter (TIMESTAMPED LINK)nnnTiago’s Store has been ReworkednnWhat has been done?nnTiago’s store has been overhauled. It still sells Legendary gear, but now offers two additional options:nnRe-roll the available Legendary gear on offer.nnnPurchase a mystery Legendary gear piece.nnnnBoth of these options will cost Drop Pod Resources.nnnnWhy has this been done?nnWhile we’ve greatly improved the overall Legendary drop changes and system since Outriders launch, we’re aware that players still would have liked a system that could improve their chances of acquiring very specific items. Tiago’s Store rework, alongside the Eye of the Storm reward changes, are both part of our steps towards making the hunt for Legendaries more fun while also making better use of Drop Pod Resources.nnnnGive me the details!nnRe-rolling Tiago’s offer of Legendary Gear as well as the Mystery Legendary Purchase will be based on RNG.nnnRe-rolling Tiago’s offer will always generate 3 Weapons and 4 Armour pieces.nnnBoth options do not have a limit to how often they can be done.nnnRe-rolling Tiago’s offer of Legendary Gear will require drop pod resources.nnnThis was chosen so that players have a reason to collect Drop Pod Resources and also play the game. By simply playing Expeditions you will collect enough Drop Pod Resources to maintain a good cadence with checking in Tiago and refreshing his offering if need be.nnnWe didn’t want to put Tiago’s store on a Timer based refresh system as this felt too passive and could require players to have to keep checking back over many weeks or months, rather than being able to complete the game at their own pace.nnnThe cost of Drop Pod Resources required for Refreshing and the Mystery Purchase will rise alongside the level of item that you will be able to purchase. This continues to be based on your CT progress.nnnThe minimum level of Legendary items found in Tiago’s store has also been reduced from 45 to 35, so that players can access it sooner after completing the campaign and getting into Expeditions.nnnMystery purchases do not have a minimum level, so you will always be able to equip it, regardless of your level.nnnThe cost of regular items sold by Tiago has also been lowered.nnnnShow me!nnNew Horizon Spotlight: Tiago Chapter (TIMESTAMPED LINK)nnnLegendary Loot Drops and Farming Information and ChangesnThis section includes information from other sections here, but is designed to pull together the essential information on Legendary Loot farming changes that Outriders has undergone since launch.nnWhat has been done?nnNew Horizon addition: The Eye of the Storm now includes a pick-and-choose Legendary item reward. You’ll be able to choose one of three gear pieces, 2 armor pieces and 1 weapon, upon completion, with your options being randomly pulled directly from the full loot pool.nnnNew Horizon addition: Tiago’s store has been overhauled. It still sells Legendary gear, but now offers two additional options (more details):nnRe-roll the available Legendary gear on offer.nnnPurchase a mystery Legendary gear piece.nnnnNew Horizon change: With the removal of timers, the rewards received for completing Expeditions have been rebalanced in order to make all Expeditions feel viable and rewarding.nnPlease check the Expeditions Timers have been removed section to better understand these changes.nnnnLegendary Drop Rates, across the board, were increased by 100% (June Patch).nnnLegendary Anti-Duplication System implemented (June Patch) and improved (August Patch). This system is designed to improve, but not guarantee, the chances of you obtaining gear that you did not previously receive.nnnOther Improvements to the Legendary Drop system (June Patch).nnnChanges to Gear and Legendary SetsnnWe’ve partnered with the unofficial Outriders Outpost app (Outriders.app) to ensure that these changes are already live in the app as soon as possible! Visit Outriders.app to create and share your new builds!nnnThe Health available on Armor pieces has been increased greatly and rebalanced. It is now possible to effectively double character health by using certain gear pieces. (June Patch).nnTricksternn[NH] Trespasser SetnnA new set bonus has been added to the existing bonus.nnnThe existing bonus is:nn“Player characters inside Slow Trap cannot die”.nnnnThe additional new set bonus is:nn“Increase damage by 6% per enemy affected by a Deception skill. Additionally, Players can’t die inside Slow Trap.”nnnNote: Deception Skills are: Slow Trap, Venator’s Knife, Time RiftnnnnTechnomancernn[NH] Torrential Downpour SetnnThe extra cluster bombs spawned by the set bonus of the Torrential Downpour Set have had their deployment time reduced.nnnA bug that was preventing an extra mine’s deployment after a direct hit was also fixednnnn[NH] Grim Inventor’s SetnnThe set bonus of Grim Inventor set has been changed so that Tools of Destruction can be refilled multiple times during its duration:nnnThe old set bonus was:nnWhile Tool of Destruction is active, a confirmed hit with Pain Launcher refills 20% ammunition for both minigun and the RPG. This only happens once for each Tool of Destruction usage.nnnnThe new set bonus is:nn“While Tool of Destruction is active, a confirmed hit with Pain Launcher refills 20% of the ammunition for both Minigun and the RPG.”nnnnPyromancernn[NH] Lava Lich SetnnThe set bonus of the Lava Lich set has had the cooldown reduction it provides increased to 30% (Previously: 10%)nnnn[NH] Reforged SetnnReforged was originally intended to be a Long Range Firepower set. However, players have mostly used it with Anomaly Power builds. We have therefore changed the attributes of this set to better support Anomaly Damage builds. The Long Range attributes on all set pieces have been changed for either a Cooldown Reduction or a Skill Leech attribute.nnnThe Reforged Head Armour set piece, Cowl of the Reforged, has had its attributes swapped:nnThe Health attribute has been replaced with an Anomaly Power attribute.nnnThe Long Range attribute has been replaced with either a Cooldown Reduction or a Skill Leech attributennnThis change makes the helmet more suitable to the sets new functionality of an Anomaly Power oriented build.nnnnThe Reforged Chest Armour set piece, Armor of the Reforged, has had its mod swapped:nnThe “Bullet Absorption” mod has been replaced with the “Ash Grasp” mod, which inflicts Ash on all enemies in Thermal Bombs AOE range prior to its explosion.nnnThis should make Thermal Bomb much easier to use as part of this set.nnnnThe Reforged Lower Armour set piece, Waistcloth of the Reforged, has had its mod swapped:nnThe “Wildfire” mod has been replaced with the “Fire Frenzy” mod, which provides an additional use of Thermal bomb.nnnnThe Reforged Feet Armour set piece, Boots of the Reforged, has had its mod swapped:nnThe “Nova Master” mod has been replaced with the “Anomaly Hunger” mod.nnnBy making this change, we expect the Feed the Flames skill to deal more damage, making it a better tool to detonate Thermal Bombs.nnnnThe set bonus of the Reforged set has had its damage bonus increased.nnUsing Thermal Bomb increases the next damage of Feed The Flames by 75% (Previously: 50%)nnnUsing Feed The Flames increases damage of next Thermal Bomb by 75% (Previously: 50%)nnnnDevastatornn[NH] DeathproofnnA new set bonus has been added to the existing bonus.nnnThe existing bonus is:nn“Reduce the Cooldown of Boulderdash by 90%.”nnnnThe additional new set bonus is:nn“Reduce the Cooldown of Boulderdash by 90% and increase Firepower by 15% of Armor.”nnnnThe Deathproof Gloves Armour set piece, Deathproof Gauntlets, has had its mod swapped:nnThe “King Slayer” mod has been replaced with the “Death’s Door” mod.nnnnn[NH] MarshalnnThe set bonus of the Marshal set has had its shared bonus derived from Anomaly Damage increased to 40% (Previously 10%)nnnThe Marshal Gloves Armour set piece, Marshal’s Gauntlets, has had its mod swapped:nnThe “Shattered Armour” mod has been replaced with the “Mosh Pit” mod.nnnThe Shattered Armor mod removed Armor from enemies, while the Mosh Pit mod applies the status effect Vulnerability. As the Marshal gear is more of a Anomaly Power set, we decided it was a better fit to increase damage from all sources instead of reducing enemy Armor.nnnnn[NH] StatuennThe Statue set has had its attributes swapped:nnThe Skill Leech attribute has been replaced with a Close Range Damage attribute.nnnThe intended changes for the Statue set did not go live as intended today – we are looking into this now.nnnnChanges to ModsnThis section includes information about all changes made to mods that Outriders has undergone since early April. Changes that have been newly implemented with the New Horizon Update are pre-faced with an [NH]We’ve partnered with the unofficial Outriders Outpost app (Outriders.app) to ensure that these changes will be live in the app as soon as possible! Visit Outriders.app to create and share your new builds!Weapon Mod Changesnn[NH] The mechanics of Fortress have been reworked. The new description and effect is now:nnShots increase your current Armor and Resistance by 5%, stacking up to 3 times. At maximum stacks, the buff is doubled and additionally grants 30% damage increase for 10 seconds.nnnThe cooldown between stacks is 0.2 seconds.nnnFor more information as to why this was done, please see our discussion thread about it here.nnnPlease note that following community feedback, the amount of stacks (from 5 to 3) and the cooldown between stacks (from 1s to 0.2 seconds) have both been reduced since we previously announced the changes coming to Fortress. These changes mean that players will be able to proc. Fortress faster and that that all weapon types will be able to proc it as well.nnnWe have also buffed each class’s skill tree nodes that increase Anomaly Power. Should you invest fully into these, AP builds running Fortress will have a similar damage output to Fortress pre-change.nnnn[NH] The Cooldown Mechanics of all mods are now “universal cooldowns”. Cooldowns for mods are now set to “per character” rather than per “mod instance”.nnThe main effect of this change is that it is no longer possible to cycle through and trigger the same mod effect within a very short space of time. In order to compensate for potential damage reductions as a result of this change, the below mods have all been buffed.nnnFor more information as to why this was done, please see our discussion thread about it here.nnnn[NH] Moaning Winds has had its damage increased by 60% (From base 120 to 191)nnn[NH] Concentration Blast has had its explosion damage increased by 27% (From base 35 to 48.3)nnn[NH] Concentration Blast has had its max targets reduced to 4 (Previously: 6)nnn[NH] Ultimate Bone Shrapnel has had its damage increased by 14% (From base 63 to 71.82)nnn[NH] Bombs Ahead has had its damage increased by 14% (From base 62 to 71)nnn[NH] Legendary Minefield has had its damage increased by 11% (From base 20 to 22.3)nnn[NH] Kinetic Stomp has had its damage increased by 34% (From base 72 to 96.48)nnn[NH] Weakness Trap has had its damage increased by 237% (From base 18 to 60.6)nnn[NH] Sandstorm has had its damage increased by 42% (From base 7.2 to 10.25)nnn[NH] Wrath of Moloch has had its damage increased by 37% (From base 50 to 68.5)nnn[NH] Scrap Grenade has had its damage increased by 17% (From base 70 to 81.8)nnn[NH] Deadly Disturbance has had its damage increased by 27% (From base 69 to 87.3)nnn[NH] Ravenous Locust has had its damage increased by 50% (From base DOT tick, per second, 4 to 6.66)nnn[NH] Ravenous Locust has had its duration reduced by 4 seconds, down to 6 seconds (Previously 10 seconds)nnn[NH] Radiation Splash has had its damage increased by 208% (From base 38 to 114)nnn[NH] The effect of the “Gunshield” mod has been changed.nnIt will now provide a 30% increase to Firepower, rather than a flat numerical increasennnnWinter Blast has had its AOE range increased to 5m (Previously: 4m) (Early SeptembernnnUltimate Anomaly Surge has had its damage increased by 37% (From base 25 to 34.25) (Early September)nnnClaymore Torrent has had its explosion damage increased by 110% (From base 30.6 to 64.26) (Early September)nnnUltimate Storm Whip has had its damage increased by 40% (From base 23 to 32.2) (Early September)nnnStorm Whip has had its damage increased by 40% (From base 23 to 32.2) (Early September)nnnStrings of Gauss has had its damage increased by 162% (From base 24.5 to 64) (Early September)nnnAnomaly Enhancement has had its co-efficiency increased from 30% Anomaly Power to 40% (August Patch)nnnBone Shrapnel has had its damage increased by 5% (from base 56.7 to 59.85) (August Patch)nnArmor Mod buffsnnPersonal Space has had its damage bonus increased from 15% to 25% (August Patch)nnnCritstack has had it’s Anomaly Power boost increased by 21% (from base 5.79 to 7) (August Patch)nnnStand Tall has had its base Firepower bonus increased by 20% and its base Anomaly Power by 16% (From base level 10 Firepower and 15 Anomaly Power to 12 Firepower and 17.5 Anomaly Power) (August Patch)nnnPerseverance Shield has had it’s base shield value increased by 40% (From base 25 to 35) (August Patch)nnnBlazing Aegis has had the armor increase it grants increased by 21% (from base 46.35 to 56) (August Patch)nnnPlate Dodger has had its armor value grant increased by 12% (from base 58 to 65) and its duration increased from 5 seconds to 7 seconds.
