For some players, this may not be enough content to justify the cost so it’s something to consider for yourself and your playstyle. Once I have hit max level and seen every zone I have access to once, I’m ready to move on to other things like achievement hunting or crafting, both of which aren’t a viable option in Outriders. I much prefer the levelling and character progression through story or zone exploration.
Outriders review trial#
You could spend that amount of time again plus heaps more more grinding the Trial and older expeditions to keep maxing out your build, but that gameplay isn’t my cup of tea. That’s a pretty steep price for an expansion, especially for one that has only ~5 hours of story content (7 for me).
Outriders review upgrade#
The Outriders Worldslayer upgrade costs AUD54.95 for those that already own Outriders. For me though, I ran a couple of Trials but after seeing most of the troves on offer and getting some additional loot upgrades, I was happy enough to go back and revisit some older content that I couldn’t remember from the base game. This end-game grinding mechanic is no stranger to looter shooter players, and some love this repetitive grind to get better gear.
If you don’t necessarily want to play multiplayer but want to push your character progression as far as possible, you can also tackle the whole original Outriders campaign on apocalypse tiers which effectively becomes a new game + method of getting new gear. I will leave that gameplay style to the experts. They have intended for it not to be soloable at the highest apocalypse tiers, however no doubt players will be able to maximise their builds and gear to do so. The developers stated the Trial of Tarya Gratar has been balanced for three players and that it does not scaled down the difficulty for duos or solo runs. If you die, you can return to the previous crossroad you passed and continue from there, though if you die too many times, the run will fully reset. Each trove offers a specific type of loot drop - one might drop helmets while another drops chest armor. You will also encounter branching crossroads that lead to rooms called troves. This is a dungeon where you have four attempts to get as deep as you can before it resets. The Worldslayer campaign will take you to an ancient city called Tarya Gratar, where a new endgame challenge awaits – the Trial of Tarya Gratar.
Outriders review mods#
By the time I finished the story and had salvaged a heck of a lot of items, there were still some tier 2 mods that I still hadn’t unlocked yet. This meant that when you came across a crafting station, it gave you a reason to stop and reassess your equipment mods to ensure you’re getting the most out of your character’s skills. This is designated with a little symbol and a darker purple coloured item card, and they contain three mods. After playing for another hour or so, new epic apocalypse gear started dropping. In addition to the ascension tree, each character has a Pax tree which allows you to make your class skills stronger, so every class will feel fresh and worth coming back to. I could choose options to increase my character’s short and long range damage, armor absorption, health drain, reduce cooldowns, and more. There are 200 ascension levels, and each gives you ascension points which you can spend in a new ascension tree for each class. Post level 30, this is the new advancement method and, like world tiers of the base game, apocalypse tiers increase monster difficulty in turn with providing bigger and better loot drops. It wasn’t much further before I advanced to the next apocalypse tier and gained an ascension level. I took so many screenshots of cool vistas and landscapes as I ran through the levels.
I always admired the environment art of the base Outriders game and Worldslayer is no different. The fight doesn’t last long before it runs off, but it gives you enough muscle memory for dodging, using class skills and unleashing the pain with your weapons, and it quickly feels familiar again. Upon arriving at Glacier’s Edge, we are thrown straight into combat and go up against a huge snow beast. Once at the expedition camp from the end of the base game, you talk to Channa to start the quest chain. You may want to review this if you have a favourite class build in mind.
This process gives you a default specialisation for your chosen class but you don’t get to choose your own spec. I chose to make a new Pyromancer character specifically for Worldslayer and once created, you select the Worldslayer story starting point and get boosted to level 30. Once you have installed the expansion, you can either start a fresh character or continue an existing level 30.
