It won’t be long until the release of Outriders, the game is set to launch in less than two weeks. That’s why MeinMMO shows you 5 things you should do in the demo before the launch of the loot shooter.
What’s in the demo? You can play the first chapter of Outriders, including some side missions. This gives an insight into the story of the loot shooter and also allows you to get to know some of the mechanics.
Why should you even play it right before release? Any progress you make will carry over to the finished game. In principle, you have access to a small part of the game thanks to the demo.
Therefore, MeinMMO shows you 5 things you should do to prepare well for the release of the loot shooter.
This team is tasked with exploring new worlds for humanity, which has largely destroyed the planet Earth. On Enoch, alongside a mysterious signal, there awaits a dangerous anomaly that causes unforeseen events and grants the player incredible abilities. These abilities also define the four classes of Outriders.
Find out which class suits you
In the demo, you can not only play the first chapter, but you can also try all four classes of Outriders. A total of 6 characters can be created, and each of the four classes can be played up to level 7. In doing so, you unlock four out of eight abilities.
Why is it worth it? These classes differ greatly from one another and promote different play styles. Whether tank, supporter, or offensive, each class has its own possibilities. This way, you can find out which class suits you and which one you want to start with in the main game. You can also participate in our quiz beforehand: Which class should I play in Outriders?

These classes are available:
- Devastator
- Technomancer
- Assassin
- Pyromancer

Legendary weapons will be useful for later
In the demo of Outriders, players can already obtain 10 legendary weapons. However, this requires a good deal of luck, as the chances of getting these guns are quite low. Whether it is worth it must be assessed by each player individually.
Why is it worth it? The time investment to acquire such weapons may be quite high. Nonetheless, it is worth it. The weapons not only look particularly cool but also have strong, unique properties. They achieve this through their legendary modifications, which enable particularly powerful builds.
If you want to farm legendary weapons, check out our demo guide: The 5 best farm spots for legendary weapons in the Outriders demo.
These modifications can be unlocked by dismantling the weapons for the crafting system, which does not exist in the demo yet. However, in the finished game, you can modify additional weapons and create powerful combinations. Which brings us to the next point: mods.
There are already plenty of mods to unlock in the demo
Also, independent of the legendary weapons, there is already a slew of weapons and equipment to collect in the demo. Although they currently have a relatively low level, there are already items with mods available with rare (blue) equipment.
Why is it worth it: As mentioned above, you can unlock these mods by dismantling the equipment for your future workbench. Thus, you can unlock some useful weapon and armor mods now.
This gives you several options for improving your equipment directly upon release when creating builds. By dismantling equipment, you not only obtain modifications but also so-called shards. These influence other properties of your equipment.
With shards, for example, you can determine whether your assault rifle deals additional damage to your enemies’ armor or gives you extra health points. However, you will also need resources for crafting.
Stock up your resources now
Even in the demo, there are resources you will need later in the game. You obtain these materials in the game world, by completing quests, and by dismantling equipment. The following materials can be found in the demo:
- Scrap (the currency of the game)
- Leather
- Iron
- Titan
Why is it worth it: Especially Titan, Iron, and Leather will be necessary for modifying your equipment. Just having the mods will not suffice for crafting.
So you can already fill up your scrap account and save a lot of materials to be able to start right away when the game launches. However, the maximum resources in the demo are limited, so you cannot accumulate infinite resources.
Accolades can be completed already
In Outriders, there are so-called accolades, which can also be referred to as in-game achievements or awards. These are multi-part tasks like “Eliminate X enemies with ability/weapon X,” collecting a certain number of items, and so on.
Why is it worth it: By completing these tasks, you will receive cosmetic items for your banners, various emotes, and other gimmicks. Part of this can already be completed in the demo.
For completionists and achievement hunters, such tasks are a real treat. If you intend to completely finish these accolades, you can already start working on them.
When will Outriders be released? The official release is set for Thursday, April 1. Outriders will be available for PC (Epic, Steam), Google Stadia, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, and PS4.
