What are the legendary weapons in Outriders and which ones do we know? Some have already been introduced by the RPG shooter.
What makes these weapons so special? Each legendary weapon has not only its own crazy design. They also come with special modifications that grant them unique effects.
The mods can be removed by dismantling the weapons and applied to other weapons. This allows for special combinations and builds to be created.
What weapon classes are there? Currently, 11 weapon classes are known:
- Assault Rifles
- Submachine Guns
- Shotguns
- Automatic Shotguns
- Pump-Action Shotguns
- Double Guns (firing from two magazines simultaneously)
- Light Machine Guns
- Rifles
- Repeating Rifles
- Pistols
- Sniper Rifles

Note: The weapons come from an early version of Outriders. There may be changes by the time of release. The indicated values may also vary, as the weapon examples have a high level.
The Migraine – Submachine Gun
What can the weapon do? The Migraine can let enemies explode from deadly shots with the legendary mod “Bombs Ahead”. This explosion then deals additional damage to nearby enemies. The mod’s ability has a cooldown of 3.4 seconds.
Interesting stats:
- Magazine Size: 50 shots
- Shots per minute: 857
- Reload Speed: 1.3 seconds
The Migraine should deal high damage with its rapid rate of fire, large magazine, and short reload speed. Combined with the mod, it can rain down explosion after explosion.
The Iceberg – Bolt-Action Rifle
What can the weapon do? The Iceberg can freeze enemies within a range of four meters with critical hits through its legendary mod “Winter Blast”.
Interesting stats:
- Magazine Size: 5
- Range: 200 meters
- Crit Damage Bonus: +11.7%
- Damage Bonus at Range: +6.8%
- Status Power: +15%
The rifle is therefore designed for long-range fire. The bonuses to critical damage and status effects synergize well with classes like the Technomancer, which also offers many advantages for long-range combat.
It is well-suited as a support weapon, freezing enemies from a distance while the group takes care of the rest up close.
Amber Vault – Double Gun
What can the weapon do? This Double Gun fires from two magazines. Its legendary mod “Killing Spree” also increases damage by 30% when you kill an enemy.
Interesting stats:
- Armor Penetration: +13%
- Healing Received: 8.16%
- Melee Damage: +7%
Amber Vault is likely one of the weapons that is particularly interesting for those who like to charge ahead. It receives bonuses in close combat and increases incoming healing. This works well with classes like the Trickster or Devastator, who regenerate health by killing enemies in close combat.
Grim Marrow – Light Machine Gun
What can the weapon do? Through the legendary mod “Singularity”, Grim Marrow can create a singularity with a lethal shot. Destroying this singularity causes it to explode, affecting enemies within a radius of 6.5 meters.
Interesting stats:
- Crit Damage: +13%
- Health Points from Skill Damage: +1.17%
- Melee Damage: +7%
Grim Marrow is particularly suited for classes like the Trickster, which operate in close combat. The Trickster also has some skills that can slow down enemies. Thus, you can first slow down enemies to then eliminate them with the singularity and take out entire groups in the vicinity.
Voodoo Matchmaker – Assault Rifle
What can the weapon do? The assault rifle can connect up to three enemies with its mod “Ultimate Damage Link”. These enemies then share 30% of the dealt weapon damage and 10% damage from skills and status effects.
Interesting stats:
- Health Points from Weapon Damage: +14%
- Extra Healing: +7%
- Melee Damage: +7%
The Voodoo Matchmaker fits well with the Pyromancer, who can stop, mark, and burn multiple enemies at once with their skills. The Technomancer also benefits, as their healing ability is based on weapon damage, which complements the assault rifle’s bonus well.
Molten Eidola – Rifle
What can the weapon do? The Molten Eidola can unleash swarms of locusts upon your enemies with its mod “Ravenous Locust” upon hits, dealing damage within a radius of 6.5 meters. This damage lasts for 15 seconds and additionally weakens enemies.
Interesting stats:
- Healing Bonus: +13%
- Range Damage Bonus: +12%
This weapon is particularly suitable for classes like the Technomancer. This class already has bonuses for long-range due to its skill tree and can poison and freeze with its skills, which should complement the locust swarm well.
