What Are Apocalypse Tiers?

Confused about Apocalypse Tiers in Outriders: Worldslayer? Learn how they work, what rewards you get, and why you need them for the best gear.

Alright, let's break down Apocalypse Tiers in Outriders: Worldslayer. Think of them as the next step up after the original World Tiers. Remember those? They let you crank up the difficulty all the way to 15, making enemies tougher but also boosting your chances of finding sweet Legendary loot.

Apocalypse Tiers are basically an extension of that system, but you absolutely need the Worldslayer DLC to even touch them. Once you're past World Tier 15, these new Tiers kick in, and they go all the way up to Tier 40. As you climb each Tier, enemies get stronger – more damage, way more health. So, forget just running and gunning; you'll need to play a bit more strategically to survive.

But here's the kicker: for every Tier you conquer, you'll get a boost to your Ascension XP and your Loot Rarity Bonus. The real prize, though? Apocalypse Gear. This is brand-new stuff exclusive to Worldslayer, and it's the only way to get it. You can't craft this gear, so you'll have to rely on drops, and your chances of finding it skyrocket the higher your Apocalypse Tier.

What makes Apocalypse Gear so special? It comes with a third mod slot! The catch is, the mod that drops with it is fixed – you can't change it. So, if you're aiming to min-max your character, you might find yourself farming the same gear piece over and over until you get that perfect, game-changing mod. It's a grind, but the power boost is totally worth it.
