Outriders' next patch makes the grind for legendaries a lot easier

Outriders’ next patch tackles one of the biggest issues with the game: the dreaded grind for legendaries.

In a post on reddit, Outriders’ community manager from publisher Square Enix ‘thearcan’ outlined a raft of changes coming to the looter shooter in a patch set for early next week.

Chief among them is a significant change to legendary drops. Legendary drop rates, across the board, will increase by 100 percent with this update.

That’s a big enough change on its own, but along with this, legendary level brackets will be removed, which means all legendary items can drop at any level.

This is significant because currently – and since Outriders came out – some items could only drop from enemies of certain levels or above. The example Square Enix gives is the Ugake Cowl could only drop from enemies of level 48 or higher.
