Outriders Is Finally Giving Some Players Back Their Lost Gear

Of all of the many (many) points to plague Outriders since its early April launch, few have brought on extra ache than the insidious inventory-deletion bug. As of as we speak, affected gamers ought to begin to see misplaced gear return, developer Folks Can Fly introduced through the sport’s subreddit.

Shortly after the loot-shooter launched for mainly all of the platforms, sure unfortunate gamers logged in solely to search out all of their weapons and armor lacking. What’s extra, a few of these gamers had been then unable to even log in in any respect as their affected characters, that means it was unimaginable to reclaim any misplaced floor. Folks Can Fly shortly mentioned a repair was within the works, however prior updates haven’t addressed the problem.

Right this moment’s repair will solely have an effect on these in what Folks Can Fly calls “Group A,” or gamers who at the moment can’t log in as affected characters. (Folks Can Fly says that “most affected gamers will probably be on this group.”) These in “Group B”—or gamers who misplaced gear however can nonetheless log in—will come at an unspecified date down the road.

There are some floor guidelines:

• Something you had geared up in your character on the time of deletion will probably be restored, no matter rarity.
• Your entire legendary gadgets, too, no matter in the event that they had been in your individual or not.
• From there, it’s a bit dicey. You’ll solely get the 20 most up-to-date gadgets again, sorted by two hierarchical ranges of prioritization. The primary is rarity (from Epic, or purple, down). The second is calculated by the “date acquired.”
• There’s additionally the chance that you simply’ll obtain as much as 20 Legendary weapons you’ve beforehand discarded. “This stuff will probably be god-rolled,” says Folks Can Fly, “and could be freely offered, scrapped, or used.” Sounds good to me!

The rollout will happen over the subsequent 24 hours.

Outriders has little doubt gone by some turbulence over the previous 5 weeks, with points operating the gamut from standard-issue connection failures to extra critical fare, like this gear-deletion bug. Following final week’s replace—the “largest” one so far—the infamous “sign up” bug just isn’t almost as a lot of a problem because it was at launch. If this stock restoration goes off with no hitch, that’ll go a good distance towards making the sport extra approachable than it has been at any level since launch—if, that’s, gamers are nonetheless all for happening this trip after all of the bumps.
