A new Outriders update is live on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X alongside patch notes that reveal everything developer People Can Fly has done with the update, which is a ton. While the update isn’t substantial from a content perspective, it does quite a bit. In fact, the patch notes are so big that they’ve been divided into traditional patch notes and patch notes for balance specifically.

While we know what the update does courtesy of the patch notes, we don’t know what the file size is across various file sizes. In other words, we have minimal insight to offer about how long the update may take to download beyond noting the patch notes are large which usually indicates a larger file size and a longer download as a consquence.
Below, you can check out the full patch notes for the update. Meanwhile, the full balance notes can be found here.
Quality of Life Changes:
Implementedย Item Lockingย Functionality.
Improved theย Quick Mark Functionalityย to now also include Legendary, Apocalypse Epic and Apocalypse Legendary rarities.
Changed the behaviour of theย camera when sprintingย to make the sprint behaviour between “Toggle” and “Hold to Sprint” consistent. The camera will no longer turn when players are sprinting.
Endgame Changes:
Apocalypse Tier Leveling
Starting from Apocalypse Tier 20, the requirement to level up each Apocalypse Tier has been reduced by 10%.
Resources & Anomaly Extract
The amount of Anomaly Extract gained has generally been improved and the amount of Anomaly Extract gained in Tarya Gratar’s Troves has been increased by 500%.
A full run-through of Tarya Gratar (including Troves) should now net out at around double the amount of Anomaly Extract earned per run when compared to before this patch.
Boss-rushing the final Arbiter will net slightly more Anomaly Extract than before, but this will not be the most efficient route for Anomaly Extract farming.
Crafting and Upgrading
Starting at Item Level 50, the Anomaly Extract costs required to upgrade gear has been reduced by 5%.
Between the two above changes (Increased Gains and reduced Costs), players should be able to support upgrading two full sets of gear per Apocalypse Tier level. This should enable a greater amount of experimentations and limit the need to hoard resources in order to be able to upgrade the currently equipped set.
Apocalypse Gear Drop Rates
Starting at Apocalypse Tier 11, the “Increased chance for Apocalypse variant gear” has been increased for each Apocalypse Tier.
Expeditions
Expedition Rewards have been increased in order to make Expeditions feel more viable alongside Tarya Gratar. The “Loot Gained per X Time Investment” should now feel quite similar between Expeditions and Tarya Gratar.
Players should now receive a greater amount of Epic and Legendary Items and comparatively fewer Rare items in Expeditions.
Anomaly Extract farming should now also feel much more viable to do in Expeditions.

Fixed a bug that could prevent co-op players from leveling up even if they had acquired all required experience but the party had been wiped out during combat.
Fixed a bug that cause player’s health to be improperly calculated if they levelled up immediately after dying. The correct value would be display if they died again.

Fixed a bug that prevented the mods “Minefield” and “Legendary Minefield” from triggering more than once per enemy.
