Walkthrough Outriders - Action Guide 2021

Outriders is a sci-fi looter shooter where you control the Pathfinder, a human with supernatural powers

Prologue

Watch the video and create your character. Then a new cut-scene will start.

A brief backstory is as follows: 80 years have passed since humans left Earth. About 65 years ago, the Earth stopped communicating, as predicted. Now ZAK (Earth Colonist Alliance) is forced to figure out if life is possible on the planet Enoch. The Pioneers will find out about this, for one of which you will have to play. However, in fact, the first Pathfinders have already been killed, so Captain Jack Tanner hired you as a mercenary.

Arrival

Watch the lengthy introductory video.

Follow Captain Tanner

Use the TAB key to track targets.Captain Jack will not leave the field of view, but in the future this key will definitely come in handy. Climb up the slope and jump over a couple of logs using the CTRL key. Eventually, the target will update.

Mark the location of the Pathfinder camp

Go to the indicated location and hold E to plant the Colonist Earth Alliance banner. The goal will end.

Look around the camp

In fact, you don't need to look at anything. Just wait for Tanner to talk to everyone, and then call the main character.

Talk to Tanner

Approach Tanner and talk about everything. Phrases that advance the plot are marked with asterisks. Before choosing such options, be sure to click through the rest to get to know the characters, the world around you and the lore in general.

Talk to Yakub about checking weapons

Follow the marker and listen to Yakub. Go through the different options and say it's time to practice.

Hide behind the boxes

Approach the boxes and press "Space" to be in cover.

Get tested

Use RMB to peek out of cover and shoot with LMB. When necessary, reload on R. You can not shoot at the tanks, but be sure to finish off the three fighters that appeared after. Switch to secondary weapons (pistols) by holding down the Q key. Shoot at enemies in the same way as you did with the main weapon (RMB+LMB). After that, switch back to the main weapon by holding Q. Perform the last steps.

Talk to Shira

Go to Shire Gutmann and select all dialogue options. And then agree to take action.

Find a probe

Go to the specified location, tracking the path with TAB. Wait out the flock and then move forward. Hide behind cover on the Spacebar. While looking at another cover, hold the spacebar to make the hero automatically run to it. The creature will still hide, but you will be able to extract information from the probe. Then return to Tanner and the others. See??ideal video.

Storm

Find the second probe

Move forward until you find a clearing where the cutscene will start.

Kill a wild creature

Shoot at the enemy, and when he gets close, use W, A, S, D and CTRL to dodge. Or double-click on the listed keys. After the victory, go upstairs and watch the video. Run away from the storm while avoiding the red highlighted areas. If such an area appears right in front of you, slow down and wait for the lightning strike, and then continue on your way. Watch the video.

Chase Maxwell

Now you need to show everything that you trained at the beginning of the game. Stay in cover and shoot at the enemies. After defeating everyone, search the chest to get the Tanner Rifle. Press I to open inventory and equip the new rifle as it is better than the previous one. Keep moving and shoot at the enemies. EUIf someone throws a grenade, the range of its destruction is highlighted in red. Get to Maxwell, defeat him and interact when he is stunned. Watch some long videos.

slaughter

You will now be prompted to select a class for your character. There are four different Outriders classes in total:

• Technomancer
• Pyromancer
• trickster
• Destroyer

Please note that the selection made cannot be changed. Read more about classes in Outriders in our separate guide.

Cross the battlefield

Move forward, hide in shelters and shoot back from enemies. Behind the first battlefield on the right is an ammo crate. Use these crates to replenish ammo. On the hill there is another container with a rusty sniper rifle. Pick it up and switch by pressing Q (holding the same key allows you to pick up pistols). Shoot enemies from below and cross n??le fight. Eventually, you will encounter a new type of enemy - the Cremators. Stay away from them. I tried to aim for their heads and use my sniper rifle. If you see how the enemy is accelerating, run away.

City-in-the-gorge

reunion

After the first three missions, you will find yourself in the City-in-the-gorge. The level of the world will rise. With each increase in the level of the world, the strength of the enemies increases, but you can also receive more valuable rewards. So agree to this step, and do not forget to pick up the containers on the tab of the new world level.

Follow the marker and go to the warehouse "Hounds". Along the way, you can look into the camp and replenish ammunition or change your appearance. Also, when you press TAB, watch the highlighted objects. Sometimes the game will highlight books, notes and diaries, allowing you to expand your lore.

In the warehouse, you will need to reflect two enemy waves. The first will be regular and over-armored soldiers. Nothing complicated: just stick to cover. After winning, interact with the panel, and then repel the attack of the same opponents, along with which the melee fighters will appear. Be sure to destroy them first. Also pick up drop-down items. If the shotgun drops out, it will greatly simplify the battle with melee fighters. After winning, spin the wheel again. Side rooms with containers will open. Search each to collect a complete set of equipment. Go through the indicated door, and after the video, use the exit point. Choose a camp, run to the meeting point and listen to Shira with Yakub.

Go to the "Defense Perimeter" location, where the marker points, and fight the first batch of opponents. In no case do not get close, because melee enemies will appear here. After the victory of the mouthput a flag ahead and look around. If you go to the right, you can meet the NPC Audrey Storm, who has a side task for you called "Payback". There is also data next to the flag, and glowing minerals have appeared on the walls. Get these resources by banal interaction. In this area you will find mainly iron.

Defeat the following enemies, which are no different from the previous ones. The key will drop out of the latter, with which you can open the way further. But it is important to be careful here: Alium will appear right now - an enemy using one of your classes. If you completed the “Payback” task earlier, then you have already encountered the Pyromancer. This time you will face the Technomancer. Focus all your efforts on him, and if you need to urgently restore health, move to ordinary opponents. After the victory, you will surely level up to level 5, and get your first class point. Go to the class tab and select the desired passive skill.

And then you will have a battle with the first most dangerous Alium. His name is Gauss and he and??uses the most dangerous electric attacks. It makes no sense to disassemble the basic electric gun. Let's focus on his attacks. If you see a wall, then just shoot at Gauss without getting too close. With a successful scenario, you can even damage it. He can also throw electric traps. Just before attacking, dodge to the side, left or right, and never run into an area where you see something electrical. In addition, he can launch fireballs. They move randomly. Finally, Gauss summons Storm - three areas appear on the field and begin to chase your hero. Run away from these areas, and if you see that the orange scale of Alium is about to dry out, you can stop, aim and shoot the enemy. The thunderstorm will not do anything to you, because it will disappear as soon as the orange scale dries up. The rest of the tactic is simple: dodge all of his attacks, stay in cover, and fire back, periodically using your abilities. I played as the Destroyer, so with the first and third skills I tried to counter Gauss's desire to use Storm, and with the second, "Golem", I defended myself at the time of my own attacks. After the victory, collect the loot and return to the camp. Talk to Shira. Next, you need to talk with Yakub about how to get to the first city.

If you are playing the demo version of the game, this will complete the Outriders storyline.

Side quests "City in the Gorge"

The day didn't work

In the camp area, move to the merchant. To the right of it there is a passage to the grate marked with a yellow exclamation mark. He will appear only after you complete the Reunion part of the quest and save Yakub from the Hounds. Follow to the indicated place, below the warehouse where Yakub was. Clear the area by dealing with two enemy waves. Here everything will be as usual. Do not forget to search the boxes and in no case do not rush. Remember to use your hero's skills. And then go to the room with the leader of the Hounds. Go back and talk to the new vendor. Choose your desired reward.

Hint . Each class has its own passive healing. For example, the Destroyer and Trickster are healed when killing nearby enemies. True, the Trickster must kill them in close combat, but the Destroyer can be at a short distance and use firearms. If the enemy is in the healing zone, then when you aim at him, the corresponding icon (head and green plus sign) will appear on him. This means that if you finish him off, you will be slightly healed.

Pay

Once you've won the first fight on your way to the Sun Tower and planted the flag, head right into the ruined building where Audrey Storm will be. Talk to the girl and agree to help. Enter the door on the left. Defeat the enemies in the first battle. Be aware that there are snipers in the distance. After the victory, search the building on the left, as there will be a container there.

Get inside the building and get ready to fight the first enemy Alium. This means that you will be opposed by a mutant using the abilities of the Pyromancer, Technomancer, Destroyer or Trickster. Be sure to use different skills that allow you to interrupt the triggering of his skills. If you see that the orange scale at the health bar is filling upenemy, activate interrupt skills as soon as possible. For example, the Destroyer can use the first and third skills (chronologically). Focus on the main enemy, but don't forget to kill the rest to replenish health. After the victory, return to Audrey and choose one of the three types of "blue" (rare) weapons as a reward.

Unsteady ground

This quest becomes available after you defeat Gauss during the "Reunion" story mission. Go to the Shire and agree to help with the search for Lieutenant McCain. He was last seen west of the Crossroads. Therefore, go to the fast travel point in the camp and select the "Crossroads" item. Go left and cross the gap. You are waiting for two battles. The first is nothing special, but in the second I advise you not to rush to get into the thick of things. After a while, the Captain will appear - this is an Alium warrior using superpowers. In this case, there will be a Technomancer, although they may appear randomly in the game. After the victory, collect all the resources and ??interact with the ledge to inspect the surroundings. By this point, you will probably get the 6th level of the character , which means you will have another class ability available to you. In the case of the Destroyer, it is called Bullet Reflection. Return to the city and collect the reward from Shira. This will be a piece of equipment of your choice.
