The Meet Your Maker experience comes with several ways to engage players, and outpost building is an integral part of the gameplay loop. In that area, the Prestige system takes precedence as it allows players to gain more access to increased build capacity and think of more outlandish setups to defend themselves against raiders -- only then will there be a chance to get back at the invaders properly and profit from their failure.

For players that are hoping to master the outpost game, this guide will teach everything there is to know about Prestige and why it matters in Meet Your Maker.

Understanding Prestige in Meet Your Maker

​​​​​​The Prestige system in the game ties in closely with the outpost-building aspect of things. To even begin progressing in this area, there is a need for players to have built their first outpost and activate it, which requires claiming a Burial Site at the Command Center.

At the Command Center, tab over to the Build tab, and proceed to claim a new Burial Site. Make the choice from the information provided, and once at the location, open up the game menu to check the Outpost Status. To build toward Prestige, it either has to be in Active or Overdrive status, which opens up the outpost for raiding.

By sending invaders to the demise and earning accolades, players will also accumulate Prestige points, so it makes perfect sense to design your outpost smartly to eliminate all raiders. Once the requisite amount of Prestige points have been banked, players can then upgrade the outpost further with Synthite, with each subsequent level of Prestige requiring more Synthite.

While it is entertaining to know that the outpost is doing its best to ward off invaders, the real benefit of it feeds into the Prestige system. And by increasing one's level of Prestige, it allows the outpost build capacity to be increased as well as earn experience points for players.

By playing the cards right and investing tactically, even the smallest of Burial Sites can be transformed into complicated outposts that have death awaiting around every corner. Furthermore, helping an outpost to up its Prestige also grants a 15% bonus on the current GenMat pool, which should help in ensuring the player economy continues to run.
