Outriders World Tiers Here S How Difficulty Works In Outriders

There are a total of 15 world tiers in Outriders, each getting progressively harder in enemy difficulty. Higher tiers provide greater rewards, including increased dropped item level, loot rarity modifier, and legendary drop rate modifier bonus, as well as permanently unlocking an increased wearable item level.
To unlock a new tier, you need to play on the highest world tier level available to you; killing enemies fills a world tier progress bar which unlocks further tiers. You can change your world tier whenever you like, but will lose a portion of your world tier progression bar whenever you die – yeesh. The plus side is that unlocking a new world tier also provides a reward, usually a higher tiered weapon or resource pack. Here are all the world tiers in Outriders and the changes you can expect in each tier.
