In the demo of Outriders, it is already possible to obtain the legendary weapons of the loot shooter. MeinMMO shows you how to farm them.
What are legendary weapons? In Outriders, legendary weapons are the highest rarity tier. They have a cool design and special mods that give them unique properties.
It was previously unclear whether these weapons are available at the beginning of the game. However, with the demo that was released on February 25th, we now know: legendary weapons can already be found at a low level at the very beginning of the game. We show you the known ways to farm these weapons.
Legendary weapons drop from loot crates
How do you farm legendary weapons? Reports from previous players indicate that the best sources for legendary weapons are the loot crates that can be opened at the end of missions. The problem here is that the crates remain empty if you have already played the mission.
This is how you reset the crates: If you have already played all the missions, you only need to follow a few steps to refill the crates.
- Leave the game and go to the menu, then select the option “Return to Lobby.”
- There you can choose a point in the story that you have already played.
- If you do this, all the crates that have been opened until then will be reset, and you can open them again. Your character progression remains intact.
- In this way, after you have completed everything in the demo, you can replay anytime and collect loot.
You can also see how this works in the English video from YouTuber DPJ. However, keep in mind that the chance of these weapons dropping is low. The chance increases with the higher difficulty (World Tier), but in the demo, only 5 World Tiers are available. So you should aim to farm at World Tier 5.
It may take a long time for a weapon to drop due to the low drop rate. However, some players have already reported in the comments of the above video that they have found the special weapons.
One of these is the cool rifle ‘The Iceberg,’ which we have already introduced in our special on legendary weapons.
Which quest is the best? According to another video by ImPwnstar, there is a kind of loot cave in the quest Terra Infirma that you receive from the NPC Shira.
You need to play this mission up to an elite enemy. Kill this enemy, collect the loot, and then let yourself be killed by the remaining enemies.
You should then respawn at a checkpoint right before the boss and can repeat this cycle. However, this might soon be patched by the developers.
Progress from the demo can be carried over
Why it’s worth it: The really cool thing here is that you can carry over all the loot and progress you earn in the demo to the full game. Your efforts are not in vain.
However, since you can only play up to level 7 in the demo, the legendary weapons won’t be useful for too long. Throughout the story, you will reach the maximum level of 30. In the endgame, you can even find equipment up to level 50.
Nevertheless, you can remove the legendary mod from the weapons for crafting and save it for later.
When does Outriders release? The official release is on April 1, 2021. Outriders will then be available for PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, and PS5 and Google Stadia.
The free demo has been available since February 25 and is currently running indefinitely. You can extensively test the content of the demo until the release. You can find all the information about the Outriders demo on MeinMMO.
