Outriders Modding and Crafting Guide
Master weapon, armor, and class-specific mods in Outriders with this complete modding and crafting guide for top-tier gear upgrades.
Getting the most out of your arsenal in Outriders isn’t just about finding the biggest gun or toughest armor—it’s about knowing how to tweak and tune your gear to match your playstyle. The game’s modding and crafting systems might seem a bit overwhelming at first, but they open up a lot of ways to customize your weapons and armor far beyond what you’ll pick up off the ground. Whether you’re looking to add more punch to your favorite rifle or tailor your gear with mods that support your class abilities, understanding how these systems work can make all the difference when the firefights get tough.
Weapon Mod Guide
Weapon mods in Outriders take your firepower way beyond just raw damage numbers. With the right mods, even a simple weapon can turn into something that fits your playstyle perfectly—whether you want to clear mobs fast, stack up status effects, or keep the pressure on bosses. Let’s break down how weapon mods work, the different types, how to unlock them, and some tips for picking the best mods for your loadout.
How Weapon Mods Work
Every weapon you pick up in Outriders can come with up to two mod slots. Mods add all kinds of game-changing effects: extra status damage, new bullet types, healing over time, and more. Some weapons start with just one mod slot, while others (especially Epics and Legendaries) have two. You can swap within the first mod slot for every weapon, but the second slot is locked to its original effect.
Upgrading a Rare weapon to Epic rarity will open up that second slot if you want the full range of options.
Mod Tiers and What They Do
Weapon mods are split into three tiers:
- Tier I: These are the most common and usually give you solid but basic effects—like adding bleed, freeze, or burn to your shots.
- Tier II: Mid-range power, often found on Epic gear. These mods can do things like heal you on kill, trigger a blast, or give a burst of shield.
- Tier III: These are only found on Legendary weapons. Tier III mods deliver huge effects—like causing lightning storms, explosions on every kill, or letting your shots chain between enemies.
Each tier is a big step up in terms of impact, with Tier III mods sometimes totally changing how a weapon plays.
How to Unlock Mods
You don’t just have access to all mods from the get-go. To unlock a mod for use in crafting:
- Dismantle a weapon with a mod you want. That specific mod will then show up in your mod library.
- Head to Dr. Zahedi at any camp—he’s your go-to for modding—with the weapon you want to upgrade.
Once a mod is unlocked, you can add it to any compatible slot on other weapons as many times as you want. This means dismantling gear is actually a great way to build your options.
How to Apply and Swap Mods
Go to the Crafting Station with Dr. Zahedi, choose “Mods” on your chosen weapon, and select “Replace Mod” for one of the available mod slots. You can swap out the unlocked slot as often as you like for a small resource fee, but the fixed slot (the one the weapon comes with) is permanent.
So, if you really love a specific gun but the fixed mod doesn’t match your style, you might want to look for a similar weapon that rolls with a mod you prefer.
Best Weapon Mods for Different Playstyles
For Crowd Control
- Storm Whip (Tier II): Calls down a bolt of lightning on hit; great against groups.
- Vampire (Tier I): Heals you when you inflict bleed—perfect for staying alive in the middle of a mob.
For Boss Fights
- Anomaly Enhancement (Tier I): Buffs your gun’s firepower with Anomaly Power, helping with chunky enemies.
- Killing Spree (Tier III): Racking up kills increases weapon damage for a short time—excellent for boss phases with adds.
For Status Build Synergy
- Clip Combustion (Tier II): Reloading causes a blast that burns nearby targets, good for debuff builds.
- Moaning Winds (Tier III): Opening the clip deals huge area damage; a favorite in higher-end content.
For Survivability
- Ultimate Damage Link (Tier III): Shares damage between enemies, letting you control dangerous packs.
- Life Stock (Tier II): Killing blows heal you—a solid safety net.
Tips for Modding Your Weapons
- Experiment Before You Commit: You can only swap one slot, so try different combos, especially as you unlock more mods.
- Dismantle Rare Weapons: This is how you expand your mod collection. Don’t just sell your loot.
- Synergize With Your Abilities: Match your gun mods to your class build—for instance, Pyromancers get extra out of fire or burn-based mods.
- Think About Ammo Management: Mods like Moaning Winds and Bone Shrapnel can be powerful on weapons with slow reloads if you plan your shots.
Legendary Mods: What Makes Them Special
Legendary weapons always have unique Tier III mods. These can’t be slotted into a regular gun, but once you dismantle a Legendary, you unlock its unique mod for use in the flexible slot on other weapons. Legendary mods often set the foundation for specialized builds in endgame content.
Wrap-Up
Weapon mods in Outriders bring serious customization to your arsenal. Collect, experiment, and tailor your guns to make a setup that fits your style. Whether you’re after more damage, extra healing, or wild effects that fill the screen, there’s a mod out there for every Outrider. Up next, we’ll look at how to get the most from your weapons with crafting upgrades.
Armor Mod Guide
Armor mods in Outriders are just as game-changing as weapon mods, but they lean even more toward boosting your class abilities and overall survivability. If weapon mods make your guns punch harder, armor mods turn your character’s powers up to eleven. Whether you're chasing a certain build or simply want fewer deaths on screen, understanding what armor mods do and how to use them lets you squeeze out every bit of potential from your loadout.
How Armor Mods Work
Every piece of armor—helmet, chest, legs, gloves, and boots—can roll with up to two mod slots. Like weapons, some armor (uncommon/rare) will only have one slot, but as you find Epic or Legendary armor, both slots come into play. One slot is always up for replacement, while the other (the first slot the item rolled with) can never be changed.
Mods are not just stat boosts; they actually turn your class abilities into absolute powerhouses. You might cut cooldowns, boost health recovery, or add totally new effects to your skills. Armor mods can turn a class’s "okay" skill into something you absolutely rely on.
Armor Mod Tiers
Mods on armor are broken into three tiers, and just like with guns, each new tier brings beefier buffs:
- Tier I: The bread and butter mods—reduced cooldowns for core skills, basic healing perks, or small buffs to damage and survivability. You’ll see these most often on low to mid-tier gear.
- Tier II: Mid-level mods start adding extra effects—like explosions on skill impact, automatic shields, or bonus damage after using an ability. Many strong builds find their backbone in Tier II mods.
- Tier III: Legendary-only, these mods typically give crazy alterations to your skills. Think: instant resets, bonus projectiles, lifesteal on abilities, or game-breaking damage multipliers.
Once a mod is unlocked (by dismantling a piece of gear with it), you can use it forever on other armor.
Unlocking and Equipping Armor Mods
Unlocking armor mods is all about dismantling. Break down any piece of armor with a mod you want, and it'll drop into your mod library. Keep this in mind: selling gear won’t give you the mod; always dismantle.
To apply or swap a mod, visit Dr. Zahedi at the crafting station, select your armor piece, and pick "Replace Mod" on the swappable slot. The best part? You can use a mod again and again on any compatible armor slot without losing it.
Tip: Don’t worry about “wasting” a rare mod. With the unlimited-use system, once it’s unlocked, it’s yours to play with as much as you want.
Best Armor Mods for Each Class
Every class in Outriders has its own unique pool of armor mods tied to its skills. Let’s check out the highlights.
Pyromancer
- Tier I: Tidal Wave - Increases Thermal Bomb’s explosion radius.
- Tier II: Torture - Eruptions inflict Ash, allowing for crowd control with burn.
- Tier III: Phoenix Force - Skills trigger a mini-explosion whenever you revive—keeps you swinging, even in tough spots.
Pyromancer mods focus on boosting burn power and helping you heal off kills, turning you into a mobile flamethrower that rarely drops.
Trickster
- Tier I: Slasher - Twisted Rounds last longer—good for gun-heavy builds.
- Tier II: Instant Reload - Hunt the Prey instantly reloads your mag, built for aggressive, up-close play.
- Tier III: Time Rift - Triggers automatic shield bonuses after skill use.
Trickster mods pile on mobility, bonus shield, and crazy cooldown tricks—great for hit-and-run or all-out DPS.
Devastator
- Tier I: Golem - Shorter Golem cooldown boosts your tanking uptime.
- Tier II: Reflect Bullets - Skill now reflects more projectiles.
- Tier III: Earthen Shell - Grants a massive shield whenever you use an ability.
Devastators get extra mitigation, healing, and shields, perfect for holding the line and shrugging off attacks.
Technomancer
- Tier I: Extra Launcher - Mines drop more grenades.
- Tier II: Cryo Turret - Adds extra freeze to your turret skill.
- Tier III: Pain Launcher - Doubles damage on full mag.
With Technomancer mods, focus on boosting gadget uptime and adding freeze or poison effects—think long-range control and supporting allies.
Generalist Armor Mods
Not every armor mod is class-specific. A bunch give flat upgrades:
- Emergency Stance (Tier II): Grants Golem effect (reduced damage) when your health drops low. A classic safety net.
- Captain Hunter (Tier II): Boosts damage against elites, perfect for boss encounters.
- Blood Donation (Tier I): Heals you every time you hit enemies suffering from bleed, useful for sustain.
Mix these into your build to fill gaps in survivability or to take on certain challenges—like getting past an especially tough captain or brute.
Tips for Optimizing Armor Mods
- Focus on Core Abilities: Prioritize mods that juice up your main skills first, especially reductions on cooldowns.
- Shoot for Set Bonuses: Legendary armor has set bonuses when you wear three pieces. Combine this with the right mods to turbocharge certain builds (e.g., triple Anomaly Power for Devastator).
- Adapt to Mission Needs: Some missions call for more healing or crowd control—swap mods based on what enemies you expect.
- Save Spare Gear: Keep copies of armor with favorite mods, especially Tiers II and III, for easy swapping depending on your activity.
Legendary Armor Mods: How They Shake Up the Game
Legendary mods bring wild effects you usually won’t see anywhere else. They might:
- Reset important cooldowns every time you use a skill.
- Double the hits on your main skill.
- Trigger chain reactions between kills, handy for speedrunning or tough Expedition bosses.
Once unlocked (by dismantling a Legendary), these mods can be run on regular Epic armor pieces—so you can have legendary power on a non-legendary item, making the path to a “god roll” suit much easier.
Conclusion
Armor mods are at the heart of crafting strong builds in Outriders. Whether you want more heals, less cooldown, or wild new twists to your favorite skills, carefully picking and swapping armor mods makes a world of difference. Keep dismantling, keep experimenting, and don’t be afraid to try something new—your perfect setup is just a few mod swaps away.
Tier 3 Mod Guide
Tier 3 mods in Outriders are what set legendary players apart from the rest. These are only found on legendary gear, and each one is designed to drastically change the way skills or damage work. They’re flashy, powerful, and often responsible for some of the game’s most broken or fun builds. Here, we’ll break down how Tier 3 mods work, how to unlock them, must-know favorites for each class, and tips for squeezing every bit of potential out of your Outrider.
What Makes Tier 3 Mods Different?
Tier 3 mods are unique—each legendary armor piece comes with its own, and you won’t see repeats in the wild. Compared to Tier 1 and 2, these mods:
- Provide game-changing effects, like instant skill resets, massive bonus damage, or total skill overhauls.
- Are found ONLY on legendary gear until you unlock them for crafting.
- Let you break the usual gameplay rhythm, opening up things like permanent uptime on high-demand skills, wild damage spikes, or totally new status effect combos.
Unlike lower-tier mods, you can’t find Tier 3 mods as random drops or in bulk. Legendary armor is the ticket.
Tip: If you find a legendary with a Tier 3 mod you don’t already have, dismantle it immediately to add it to your mod library. Don’t risk selling or trashing it!
How to Get and Use Tier 3 Mods
Unlocking Tier 3 Mods
Every time you dismantle a legendary armor piece, the unique Tier 3 mod on it goes into your library forever. You don’t need to equip or use the item first—a single dismantle does the trick.
Some Tier 3 mods are so powerful that certain builds flat-out require them. Here’s how to hunt them down:
- Expedition Runs: Higher challenge tiers give better chances for legendaries—and therefore more Tier 3 mods.
- Endgame Rewards: Claim your loot boxes and turn in drop pods. Cash them in for extra legendaries, especially pieces you don’t own yet.
- Trading Up: Don’t feel bad about scrapping a legendary you won’t use. That mod could be the missing link for your perfect loadout.
Installing and Swapping Tier 3 Mods
Once unlocked, you can use a Tier 3 mod as many times as you want on any compatible armor or weapon slot. You can only swap out one mod per item, but this is plenty to get creative.
- Go to the crafting station with Dr. Zahedi.
- Select your armor.
- Replace the eligible slot with your desired Tier 3 mod—voila!
Many top players keep a set of “blank” legendary or epic armor so they can always slot in the Tier 3 mod needed for a specific fight or mission.
Standout Tier 3 Mods by Class
Below are a few of the must-have Tier 3 mods for each Outrider class. These turn solid builds into monsters:
Pyromancer
- Death Sentence: Debuffs enemies hit by your skills, making them take way more damage from all sources. Perfect for team runs or solo nuking.
- Thermal Cascade: Eruption’s volcano follows the target—excellent for single-target boss damage.
- Phoenix Force: On revive, you trigger an explosion and regain health, letting you bounce back strong from a death.
Trickster
- Dance of Death: Triple cast Hunt the Prey with one activation—great for mobility and damage stacking.
- Time Rift: Spawns a shield when using skills, keeping glass-cannon builds alive.
- Shieldbeast: Converts a chunk of anomaly power into shield, boosting defense and offense at once.
Devastator
- Gravity Leap: Repeated skill use triggers bonus damage and stuns.
- Reflect Bullets: Bullets turn into shards and deal double damage on return.
- Perseverance: Every crowd control break triggers short invulnerability, huge for tanking.
Technomancer
- Icicle Storm: Enemies killed while frozen spawn a freeze explosion—powerful for clearing mobs.
- Pain Launcher: Launches extra rockets with full magazine, stacking massive area-of-effect burst.
- Blighted Turret: Gains extra shots and damage ticks—top value for status-focused builds.
Legendary Mod Combos and Synergy
The biggest value in Tier 3 mods comes from creative combinations. Try these strategies:
- Skill Shortcuts: Mods that auto-refresh cooldowns or grant skill resets let you spam your best moves, especially deadly for Pyromancer or Trickster.
- Survivability Loops: Stack revive-based and shield-producing mods for builds that shrug off deaths and keep charging.
- Status Overload: Chain effects like freezing, burning, and poisoning to wipe enemies en masse, especially paired with crowd control skills.
Mix and match across your gear or alongside friends for even better synergy in co-op.
Tier 3 Mods: Final Tips
- Dismantle everything legendary unless you need the exact item.
- Prioritize unlocking Tier 3 mods that suit your playstyle. If you’re a firestorm Pyromancer, Thermal Cascade is a game-changer; if you like being unkillable, look for revive or shield-based effects.
- Don’t ignore older legendaries—there are plenty of Tier 3 mods not found on endgame sets.
- Track the ones you still need: It’s worth running lower-tier Expeditions or expeditions favoring armor over weapons if you’re hunting a specific missing Tier 3 mod.
Conclusion
Tier 3 mods are the crown jewels of Outriders’ customization. They help flip the script on what’s possible with your class and let you fine-tune both your build and your playstyle. The most dedicated Outriders hunters experiment with different combos, always keeping an eye out for that next legendary drop—for a fresh Tier 3 mod that could take their gameplay to the next level.
Class-Specific Mods
Class-specific mods in Outriders give each archetype their unique flavor, changing how core skills function or stacking extra power where it counts. Unlike generic mods, these can only be equipped on gear meant for your class—meaning a Pyromancer mod won’t slot into Trickster or Technomancer armor. That restriction opens up some wild opportunities, since these mods are often designed around amplifying a class’s best strengths or patching up their key weaknesses.
What Are Class-Specific Mods?
When you check out the mod slots on your armor, some will only work for a certain class. These mods often reference signature abilities or enhance skills you unlock through your class tree. For example, a Blighted Turret mod is only for Technomancers, while Earthquake-enhancing mods are reserved for Devastators.
Why the restriction? Because many class-specific mods are serious game-changers—meant to tailor your feel on the battlefield and push your skills way past their base potential.
How to Unlock and Find Them
Class mods mostly show up on epic and legendary armor—especially the unique class sets tied to each archetype. You’ll see them when inspecting gear in your inventory, marked clearly as bonuses for a specific ability or class.
To permanently add a class-specific mod to your crafting inventory:
- Dismantle any gear with a new mod. The mod enters your library.
- Mix and match: Once unlocked, you can slot it onto other gear of the same type and class—so a Trickster can't steal a Pyromancer mod, but you can put it on any of your Pyromancer armor.
Tip: Keep at least one empty epic or legendary piece handy for quick experimentation with new mods as you collect them.
Must-Know Mods by Class
Let’s break down some stand-out examples per class. These aren’t just nice bonuses—they can change your fundamental playstyle.
Pyromancer
- Captain Hunter: Boosts damage against elites, cranking up your boss-melting firepower.
- Giga Blast (Eruption): Expands the range of your Eruption skill, making it better at mob clearing.
- Fire Tsunami (Heatwave): Turns Heatwave into a wide tsunami, hitting extra enemies in a line for stronger crowd control.
Pyromancer-specific mods often stack up damage over time, expand area-of-effect abilities, or spice up your flames with bonus status effects.
Trickster
- Stare into the Barrel: Each enemy close to you stacks up weapon damage—great for up-close shotgunning or SMG play.
- Strong Slice (Temporal Blade): Makes your Temporal Blade much wider, letting you slice more enemies in one swing.
- Quantum Entanglement (Slow Trap): Damage sharing soaks up team damage for everyone inside the dome, keeping allies safer.
Trickster mods lean into burst, mobility, or battlefield control, making you a slippery foe who can launch in for major damage and zip back out safely.
Devastator
- Sharp Eye: Critical kills give you more firepower, perfect for turning a tank into a damage powerhouse.
- Ground Crush (Earthquake): Adds extra aftershocks, bringing more damage and tremors to each cast.
- Blood Donation (Reflect Bullets): Any blocked bullet heals you, helping true tanks shrug off even bigger barrages.
Devastator mods focus on self-sustain and crowd control, letting you take a beating while dishing out plenty in return.
Technomancer
- Anomaly Echo: Using skills gives weapon and anomaly power for a time—ideal for hybrid builds.
- Acidic Rounds: Twists your standard ammo into toxic projectiles, adding a heavy chunk of poison with every shot.
- Emergency Stance: Triggers a shield when near death, buying you precious seconds to turn things around.
Tech mods usually shine at spreading status and keeping the team healthy from a distance, with loads of options for scaling up poison and freeze.
Strategies for Using Class Mods
Role Focus
Decide if you want to lean hard into your class’s core role or branch out. A Pyromancer who wants to solo may prefer tankier, healing mods, while a co-op player could stack extra team damage or burn effects.
Synergy Builds
Some class mods work better together than alone. Linking two mods that buff the same skill can let you build around just one devastating move. For example, mix Eruption mods on Pyromancer, or focus on shield/damage feedback on Devastator.
Mod Prioritization
Since you can only equip one swapped mod per gear item, break down your core strategy:
- Damage? Go for ability or weapon power boost mods.
- Survival? Prioritize shield, heal, or revive effects.
- Status? Stack ones that spread fire, freeze, or poison.
Don’t be afraid to experiment. Some overlooked mods shine in certain content, especially Expeditions, group runs, or specific boss fights.
Collecting More Class Mods
- Legendary Sets: Each endgame legendary armor set comes with at least one unique class mod—find and dismantle them all to diversify your library.
- Epic Drops: While not as flashy as legendaries, epic-class gear can still give you key mods for niche builds.
- Expeditions and Vendors: Running high-tier expeditions increases your shot at rare class-specific mods. Gear vendors sometimes stock armor with rare mods, especially after story completion.
Quick Tips
- Always dismantle duplicate set pieces that have new mods. Even if the armor set itself seems weak, that mod might unlock wild build options later.
- Jot down the mods you want most. Some only show up on select legendary sets, so targeting your runs can save time.
- Class-specific mods often turn underwhelming skills into all-stars. Try giving an old favorite a fresh shot with new equipment.
Class-specific mods represent some of the coolest custom options in Outriders, letting you twist old skills or crank up new strengths. They turn standard abilities into personal signature moves, giving every Outrider a distinct edge in battle. Combine them with general and Tier 3 mods to craft a setup that feels truly your own.
Crafting Guide
Crafting in Outriders isn’t just a late-game feature—it’s a core part of gear progression from the moment you meet Dr. Zahedi, the Enochian scientist stationed at your first real hub. Whether you’re tweaking early-game blues or transforming epic and legendary loot into personalized powerhouse gear, the crafting system gives you more control than simple RNG drops ever could.
Let’s break down everything you need to know to make the most of crafting, from the basics to deeper mechanics that can save you resources and save your best builds from unnecessary frustration.
Core Crafting Functions
Crafting in Outriders works through five main features, each with its own unique uses:
- Improve Rarity Upgrade the rarity of normal (blue) gear to epic (purple) for better stats and mod slots.
- Raise Attributes Spend Anomaly Shards to directly buff armor and weapon stats like Firepower, Armor, or Anomaly Power.
- Mod Gear Swap or add mods to epic and legendary items, letting you further refine your playstyle.
- Swap Variants Change a weapon’s firing mode (burst, full-auto, bolt-action, etc.) or armor resistance type (from Fire to Toxic, for bonus defense).
- Level Up Increase a weapon or armor’s level to match your current maximum, raising its base power—though with pretty steep costs at high tiers.
All crafting takes place with Dr. Zahedi, found at every major camp or hideout once the campaign opens up.
Materials You Need
Outriders uses four main crafting materials:
- Iron: Used for basic upgrades, like swapping weapon variants.
- Leather: Needed for armor upgrades and attribute replacements.
- Titanium: Spent on raising rarity or leveling up high-end gear. You need a lot near endgame.
- Anomaly Shards: Gathered by dismantling similar gear, used for upgrading specific attributes (like boosting only Status Power on a pair of gloves).
You get these by dismantling gear, looting chests, disassembling pickups, or as rewards for missions and expeditions. Don’t hesitate to break down excess loot—even legendaries if their mods or stats don’t fit your build.
Crafting Priorities
Not every feature is worth your resources early on, so here’s where to focus depending on your stage in the game:
Early Game
- Use modding and improving rarity to add skill-based mods to your favorite blues or purples.
- Save expensive upgrades (like leveling up or attribute swapping) for later—they become obsolete quickly as you find stronger base gear.
Mid to Endgame
- Level up your best legendary or epic pieces to keep them viable as world tier rises.
- Swap mods strategically. Remember, you can only change one slot on any epic/legendary—choose the weaker or less-useful mod to replace.
- Attribute tuning becomes key for high-challenge content. Tune for max Firepower, Cooldown Reduction, or Status Power, depending on your build.
Modding Specifics
A big part of crafting is modding gear. Here’s how the system works:
- Epic Armor and Weapons: Each item has two mod slots. You can change ONE of them at any time. Once a slot is changed, it becomes locked and only that slot can be changed again.
- Legendary Gear: Same rules as Epics.
- Mod Unlocking: You unlock mods by dismantling gear with that mod on it at least once. Check your mod library with Dr. Zahedi to see what you’ve collected.
Tip: Always check before dismantling if you already own a mod in your collection—it’s easy to forget, especially during loot-heavy sessions.
Raising Rarity (Blue to Purple Upgrade)
This is a strong way to give your greens or blues extra shelf life, especially if they dropped with solid stat rolls. When you bump an item’s rarity, you add an extra mod slot, letting you stick a favorite mod alongside the original.
- Costs: Iron for weapons, Leather for armor. Price goes up with gear level.
Leveling Gear Up
Each level boost raises item stats and keeps pace with your world tier or challenge level. The highest item level is 50 (from expeditions), so you’ll spend a lot of Titanium here for top-end kits.
- Warning: Levelling a low-level legendary piece several times burns through tons of Titanium. Sometimes it’s better to target-farm for replacements than keep upgrading early drops all the way to cap.
Weapons: Swapping Variants and Tuning Attributes
Some weapons let you switch their firing style: swap a semi-auto rifle for full-auto, or change shotgun pellet spread. It’s not just cosmetic, either—this can seriously change a weapon’s feel and DPS ceiling. For armor, resistance tuning can patch up elemental weaknesses before tough fights.
Smart Crafting Strategies
- Save your Titanium: Don’t blow all your top-end resources leveling gear before you know your final build.
- Bank on mods: Focus on keeping a stash of gear to dismantle so your mod library keeps expanding.
- Specialize: Try not to spread resources across too many gear sets. Pick your class’s path (damage dealer, tank, crowd control, healer) and craft accordingly.
- Don’t ignore secondary stats: Sometimes, the right Cooldown Reduction or Status Power tweaks can make a mid-tier skill suddenly overpowered.
Should You Mass Dismantle or Sell?
Short version:
- Dismantle if you want crafting mats and mods.
- Sell if you need scrap (the currency). By late game, most players find crafting supplies are more important than extra coin.
Endgame Tips
- Expeditions reward the best crafting materials. Push as high as you can on challenge tiers.
- Legendary farms (like Eye of the Storm) are ideal for hoarding unique armor mods—dismantle duplicates.
- Vendor resets every 30 minutes—check often, especially for epic gear with missing mods.
Conclusion
Crafting in Outriders lets you take solid control of your loadout, tweak your stats for upcoming content, and adapt to whatever loot luck throws at you. Start slow, learn what works for your build, and upgrade with a purpose. With a tuned set of mods and smartly-upgraded gear, you’ll be ready for even the toughest Expeditions and bosses Enoch throws your way.
