World Tier Farming

Outriders World Tier Guide - Unlocking World Tiers

You can unlock succeeding World Tiers just by setting your World Tier to the highest level available then killing off enemies. Every enemy killed will add progress to your current World Tier.

Completing Story Points and Side Quests does not affect the progress of your World Tier. However, the World Tier bar gets reduced every time your character dies.

The best places to farm EXP for World Tier are missions where there are mostly Perforos. These creatures only has melee attacks and can be killed very easily, even with your own melee attacks.

How to Change Difficulty?

The Lobby

Outriders World Tier Guide - World Tier Lobby
Players can set the World Tier before entering the game. If you play co-op, the Squad Leader sets the World Tier for the party. If the Squad Leader chooses a World Tier higher than your current available Tier, you will still progress with the campaign in your current highest Tier.

In-Game

Outriders World Tier Guide - Change Tier In-game
Players can also set the World Tier while in-game. This feature allows you to gauge the combat difficulty before attempting to progress with the Story Point.

Why Change World Tiers

The World Tier function keeps the game engaging by ensuring that combat will always be a challenge, even for veteran players. The loot system also depends on the set World Tier; the higher your World Tier is, the better chances of higher grade item drops.

We recommend that you always play with the highest Tier available.
