00:00Outriders, the game that everyone thought was going to be rubbish, has turned out to
00:08not be half bad. However, there are some really annoying things that the game doesn't tell
00:14you about at all that would have been really helpful, like automatically picking up loot.
00:20You can cross play across different consoles with your friends, doesn't tell you how to
00:23do that, doesn't tell you what the level caps are, or how to farm legendary weapons, and
00:28most importantly, if you make a sexy as hell thirst trap Gandalf in the game, only for
00:33a helmet to hide all that sexiness, you can get rid of the helmet and keep all the benefits
00:37it gives you so your character can smoulder at enemies while you shoot them. Now, if you
00:42know some of these things already and you just want to jump to the bit you don't know,
00:46there should be some timings below so you can skip ahead if you want.
00:49So looting Outriders is actually really easy to miss because it can just drop behind some
00:53of the barricades or the cover that you can use, and it's also quite hard to pick up during
00:57a frenetic firefight. So to save you running around each area after you've cleared it,
01:01Outriders has a way for you to automatically pick it all up. It just doesn't really tell
01:06you about it. All you have to do is press down on the D-pad or H on the keyboard and
01:11all that loot, keys and ammo will zip into your inventory. It also automatically picks
01:16up the loot when you die or move into another area, so this is all just automatic, it just
01:20never tells you it's doing it, so you might worry that you're missing out on loot.
01:25There is one setting you do need to look at though, and that's the rarity or type
01:29of loot it will pick up. Strangely, when you start the game the level of loot it will auto
01:33pick up is epic, which is mental because you'll never see an epic loot drop at the start of
01:38the game anyway, so I don't know why it's set that high. We'd suggest putting the setting
01:42down to common at the start of the game so you basically just pick up everything, and
01:45then when your inventory starts to get full or more and more greens start to drop, tick
01:49that up to unusual and then you definitely won't miss out on any goodies.
01:54What's great about Outriders is that you can play with your friends on any platform,
01:57PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, S, PC and even Google Stadia. From the lobby menu open
02:03the options and scroll down the gameplay section until you find enable crossplay. This is off
02:09by default so make sure you turn it on. Now go back to the lobby and select play with
02:13friends on the right hand side of the screen. In the bottom left of the next menu there
02:18will be two options, generate your game code or join a game using code. If you're hosting
02:23a lobby you simply need to generate your game code and then tell your friends what
02:27it is. If someone else is hosting then they just need to tell you what their code is.
02:31It's as simple as that. So what about Outriders cross progression within games? So you can't
02:36jump between different consoles or PC and keep your progress unfortunately. The silver
02:41lining is as long as you stay within the same family of consoles, upgrading from a PS4 to
02:46a PS5 for example, you'll keep the same progression and gear on that account. So you
02:50don't need to worry about picking up the latest generation of consoles and losing
02:53your progress. So my sexy Gandalf character doesn't go to waste. You can hide your character's
03:00equipped helmet. Thankfully that doesn't remove any of the associated mods, armour
03:05or anomaly power boosts that come with it. It's just the visual effects that are removed
03:09leaving that beautiful Outrider face uncovered for all of Enoch to see. Now to do this go
03:14to settings, options, gameplay options and helmet. Here you'll be able to toggle the
03:19visibility of your helmet between on and off with ease. At least once you know where
03:23the setting is because it's kind of weird that that's where it's hidden within and
03:27again it's something else that the game doesn't really tell you you can do. Now obviously
03:31if you don't have a character as sexy as mine and you want to cover that face with
03:34a helmet or there is a helmet that you've just picked up that completes the look then
03:38obviously you can go back into the settings to toggle the hide helmet option on again
03:42too. So on average the Outriders main campaign takes around 25 to 30 hours to complete and
03:48that's assuming that you're just completing it with one character ignoring all the side
03:52missions and just doing the main campaign religiously. So it's that perfect length
03:57of letting you get your teeth into the game to see if you like it and offering loads of
04:01replayability with different classes, new abilities, legendary weapons and replaying
04:06missions at higher world tiers to get better loot. And another thing the game doesn't
04:11tell you is that the level cap is 30 so if you're getting into the high 20s you're
04:15nearing the end game for that character. As you'd expect the best way to farm legendary
04:20weapons is down to a bit of grinding however you'll want to be at least world tier 5
04:25before you start trying to farm. At world tier 5 the chance of a legendary drop is 25%
04:31and if the other tier is lower than that then you'll be putting in a bunch of work for
04:34little chance of a reward. Obviously the higher you get in tiers the better. So now that you're
04:39at world tier 5 and killing things with ease the way to farm legendaries is just as easy
04:44as playing a side quest mission over and over again. You're going to be looking for
04:48the mission called Payback. You'll get the mission from Aubrey Storm who you'll find
04:52by the main path just near the crossroads warp flag. Talk to her and then make your
04:56way through the mission to kill Captain Reiner. Each run shouldn't take longer than 5-7 minutes
05:01and when you turn in the quest to Audrey you have a good chance of getting a legendary
05:05weapon. You can do the quest as many times as you want to farm legendaries until you
05:10get one you're really happy with. And with a 25% chance at world tier 5 of getting legendaries
05:15those chances aren't too bad for a 5-7 minute run. So hopefully this hidden little tips
05:20video has helped you get the most out of Outriders and get some great legendary weapons nice
05:24and early.
