There's no simple "Easy" "Normal" or "Hard" mode in Outriders, but that doesn't mean that players can't fine tune the difficulty to meet their liking. The way the game accomplishes this is with World Tier, a feature that determines both how strong the enemies are and what kinds of rewards players get for defeating them. At the start of the game, players are at World Tier 1, but as they kill enemies at their highest available World Tier they can unlock higher tiers. Since playing at higher tiers is vital to getting Legendary weapons and armor, some players may want to fast track to World Tier 15 with this farming method.
There are many ways for players to farm World Tier, but some are a bit faster than others. Since Outriders is still relatively new, players are still working out what is the absolute most efficient method, but all of these work well. For those players that want to keep things from getting stale, replaying the story on a higher World Tier even works well.
Outriders World Tier Farming - The First City Perforo
One of the most commonly accepted methods of World Tier farming involves an encounter in The First City in which players face off against hordes of Perforo. These enemies are weak, easy to kill, and even easier to avoid, making them ideal for farming regardless of the player's build. Simply kite and shoot these creatures or let them all group up and hit them with a powerful AoE to score large chunks of World Tier experience all at once. To access this, select the story point called "Reach the other side of the river" from the First City chapter. After defeating the Alpha Perforo and lowering the bridge, return to the lobby and start over again.
Outriders World Tier Farming - Molten Acari
Another popular method of farming involves the Molten Acari, the giant spider boss that players face in the Eagle Peaks region. Although this beast is challenging and can be tough for players to take down at their highest World Tier, it rewards a ton of World Tier experience and sometimes a few decent drops. For this, players will want to become experts at how to beat the Molten Acari, as they will need to repeat this fight several times while the difficulty ramps up with each clear. The issue with this farming method is that players probably won't get high level gear fast enough to keep up with the difficulty.
Outriders is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
