The next patch for Outriders is currently in the works, but the team at People Can Fly have shared a preview of what you can expect.
The patch includes several fixes and improvements to the co-op looter shooter. Some changes include improving the visibility of Brood Mothers Surge AOE skill limits. Additionally, there’s a fix in place for the self-revive bug which was preventing players from reviving themselves.
Other fixes include:
- Resolved an issue that could cause the game to stutter when engaging Crawlers in battle during Expeditions.
- Resolved an issue that could cause players to stutter when entering the drained lake during the third enemy encounter in the Scorched Lands expedition.
- Resolved an issue that prevented secondary characters from picking up Journal Entries if they had already been collected on a different character.
- Resolved an issue that would force matchmaking privacy setting to default to "Open". The privacy setting should now remain "Closed" when set. This should help further reduce AFK matchmaking.
- Added an AFK status for players on friends lists.
- Changed the behaviour of the Devastator's Impale, so that the game will detect impaled enemies as dead even before they disappear.
- The Devastator's "Reflect Bullets" skill will now protect from Sciathan projectile attacks.
- Fixed a bug that could prevent Devastators from being able to consistently dodge if they had the Auto Reflect mod active.
- Fixed a bug that could cause client shots to sometimes deal no actual damage to enemies.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the Technomancer's Plague Sower set bonus to not proc consistently.
As the team notes, this is not a complete list of patch notes. Since they’re still working on the patch, expect more fixes and improvements to arrive alongside the patch. You can read the full Reddit post here.
Last month, it was announced People Can Fly had not received royalties from Square Enix over Outriders due to lack of profits. Additionally, a recent patch provided a buff to all classes.
