Item Rarity, Crafting, and Mods
Outriders Tips & Tricks
Speaking of gear, let’s hone in a bit on item rarity, crafting, and mods.
With all the pew-pewing you’ll be doing, it’s easy to just get into a trance and find that you’re pushing the story along without spending much time at your camp. However, if you’re planning on playing at higher world tiers, then you’ll need to eventually acquaint yourself with Dr. Zahedi at camp once he is unlocked in the story.
He provides a number of different services for you. He can improve the rarity of your guns, giving you the ability to add more mods to them. He can also raise their attributes, swap out their existing mods, and even level them up to keep them relevant longer.
You can use these services by dismantling gear you don’t need anymore for various Resources, and via the Resources you find while exploring Enoch. In addition, you can gain permanent access to mods for use in crafting by dismantling any guns that have mods applied to them.
Sure, if you play on a low enough World Tier, you can probably get away with largely ignoring these mechanics. However, like we said above, it’s way more fun to fine-tune your character and turn them into an Insurgent killing machine. Plus, if you want to play at the highest level, it becomes pretty much mandatory, so you might as well get used to it.
