Outriders: Worldslayer

Alright, so you've been playing Outriders: Worldslayer for a bit, and you're seeing this orange bar filling up at the top of your screen, right? That's your Ascension Level creeping up! Think of it like a super-powered progression system that kicks in after you've already hit the level cap. It's how you keep getting stronger even when your character level isn't going up anymore.

To level up your Ascension, it's pretty much the same grind you've been doing: take down enemies, smash through quests, and keep running those endgame activities like Expeditions or the Trial of Tarya Gratar. Every bit of progress you make there contributes to filling that orange bar and earning you an Ascension Point.

Once you've snagged an Ascension Point, you'll want to open up your menu. Head over to the 'Class' tab, and you'll see 'Class Name', 'Pax', and then 'Ascension' on the left. Click on 'Ascension', and boom! You're presented with four main categories to dump your points into: Anomaly, Endurance, Brutality, and Prowess. Each of these categories has five different nodes, and you can put up to ten points into each node. Just a heads-up, though: the more points you stack into a single node, the less bang for your buck you'll get. For example, going from level 1 to 2 might give you a solid 1.8% boost, but going from 2 to 3 might only give you 1.4%. So, spread those points around to get the most out of them!

What Ascension Stats Can You Get?

Here’s a breakdown of what each category offers:

Anomaly

• Anomaly Power: Boosts your Anomaly Power.
• Resistance Pierce: Increases your Resistance Piercing.
• Skill Leech: Improves your Skill Leech.
• Status Power: Enhances your Status Power.
• Anomaly Damage: Increases your Anomaly Damage.

Endurance

• Health: Increases your Max Health.
• Armor: Boosts your Armor rating.
• Healing Received: Increases the bonus you get from healing.
• Elite Damage Mitigation: Reduces incoming damage from Elite enemies.
• Resistance: Increases your overall Resistance.

Brutality

• Armor Pierce: Increases your Armor Piercing.
• Close Range Damage: Boosts your damage when enemies are up close.
• Long Range Damage: Enhances your damage when enemies are far away.
• Weapon Damage: Increases your overall Weapon Damage.
• Weapons Leech: Improves your Weapon Leech.

Prowess

• Cooldown Reduction: Reduces the time it takes for your skills to recharge.
• Critical Chance: Increases your odds of landing a critical hit.
• Critical Damage: Boosts the damage of your critical hits.
• Damage Against Elites: Increases your damage specifically against Elite enemies.
• Magazine Size: Increases the number of rounds in your weapon's magazine.

So, pick wisely and tailor your build to your playstyle! It's all about squeezing every last drop of power out of your character.

Hey there, fellow Outrider! So you're wondering if that shiny new Outriders: Worldslayer expansion is included with your Game Pass subscription, right? Let's break it down so you know exactly what's what.

Here's the deal: If you've got an active Game Pass subscription, you can definitely install the base Outriders game. However, the Worldslayer expansion itself isn't part of that subscription. You'll need to pick it up separately. The good news is that if you're a Game Pass subscriber, you can snag the “Outriders Worldslayer Upgrade” from the Microsoft Store for a slightly discounted price of £29.69, instead of the usual £32.99. And hey, if you were looking to jump in early, pre-ordering before June 28th would have let you play on June 30th, but if you didn't, you'll have to wait a little longer.

Now, for the big question: will Worldslayer ever land on Game Pass? It's a fair question, especially since the base game is already there. While there's a decent chance the expansion will eventually make its way to Game Pass, nobody knows for sure when that might happen. If you're really itching to dive into the new story and don't want any spoilers, your best bet is probably to just grab the expansion now. Waiting could mean a long time before it's available, and you might miss out on the experience!
