So you can farm epic loot in Outriders without fighting

In Outriders , a big part of the game revolves around finding better gear. The co-op shooter offers numerous ways to collect equipment. We shows you a farming method where you don't even have to fight to collect epic gear.


What kind of method is that? Some of you may already know the farm method from the free demo for Outriders. It uses the mechanics in which you can simply restart any point in the story that you have already played in the menu.


If you select a point, it will be reloaded and all enemies and loot boxes will be reloaded. In the first chapter of the story, you can collect loot without pulling the trigger on your gun.


In the first chapter you can easily collect loot

This is what you have to do for it: Go to the lobby and select the item “Choose story point”. There you have to set the chapter “Rift Town”.


Now you only have to start the story point “Fight against the changed man at the tower”. There you will spawn right in front of the solar tower where the boss of the mission is waiting for you.


This is how you now collect loot: Instead of running to the boss, you can conveniently collect the loot boxes in the area in front of the boss. There are five in total, but it's much faster if you open the three boxes in and around the solar tower. Depending on which level you have, you can even get epic loot from these boxes.


In the demo it was even possible to find legendary weapons there at times. Developer People Can Fly changed that with a patch. So far it is not clear whether this is also the case in the full version. But one can assume that.


Where can you find these boxes? We'll show you the locations starting from the start of the story point.


Loot box 1 in the tower

How to find the box: You spawn right in front of the entrance to the tower. There you have to take the second turning on the right. You can see it in more detail on the screenshots:

How to find the box: Instead of going into the tower, turn around. Orientate yourself to the right and go to the slope in front of the solar tower. There on the edge you can find the box, here again in the gallery:

Loot box 3 below the tower

How to find the box: From the tower you have to follow the path down to the left until you come to the first junction. There you take the path on the right, which is flooded with water. Here in pictures:

When does epic loot actually start? We got our first, epic weapon as a quest reward in Chapter 3. It was at level 15. Epic loot apparently drops as soon as you unlock world rank 10.


Why is epic loot so good? This is the level before Legendary, so the second highest in the game. Weapons and armor from these tiers come with two mod slots and have higher tier modifications.


There are certainly other ways to get equipment quickly and effectively. However, the farm method presented here is likely to be one of the easiest and earliest ways in Outriders. It remains to be seen whether the developers will change anything.
