Developer People Can Fly and Square Enix have released a new Outriders update across all platforms and we’ve got the patch notes.
The new patch is available across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, although the development team mentions that the update has been slightly delayed on the Epic Games Store.
The main features of this new update are changes to the Impale skill for Devastators. In addition, this patch packs performance improvements for Scorched Lands and Crawlers alongside plenty of bug fixes, including a fix for the Borrowed Time Revive bug. You’ll find the official release notes, as supplied by People Can Fly, down below:
Outriders Update September 28th PC/PlayStation/Xbox Release Notes
- Fixed an issue that could cause players to stutter when entering the drained lake during the third enemy encounter in the Scorched Lands expedition.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the game to stutter when engaging Crawlers in battle during Expeditions
- Fixed 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
- Fixed a bug that could cause client shots to sometimes deal no actual damage to enemies.
- Further improved the visibility of the Brood Mothers Surge AOE skill limits.
- 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 allowed the mod “Unstoppable Force” to be stacked with itself.
