Outriders - Complete Guide to Game Classes

In this guide dedicated to Outriders we will explain how to make the most of the individual classes, so as to become experts right away. Within the game developed by People Can Fly, however, published by Square Enix, after completing the tutorial phase, you can choose the class of your character, which will give you access to a series of superhuman abilities.

How Do Outriders Classes Work? Here is the guide

Each class has its own style of play, so you just have to choose which one is your favorite. The four classes available in Outriders are:

• Technomancer: long-range class, support, proficient in using gadgets.
• Pyromancer: mid-range class, magician, use fire.
• Mystery: close range class, hit and run attacks, manipulate spacetime.
• Destroyer: close range class, it is a real tank, it will allow you to stand up even in critical situations.

Can you change the class during the game? 

No, your character once created will remain the same until the end, to change class you will have to create another character. Fortunately, you can create multiple avatars within your account, up to a maximum of six. Furthermore, if you change your mind, you will no longer have to repeat the tutorial phase but only that of the prologue.

Additionally, item supplies can be shared between classes, which still offers an advanced level of progress. Regardless of the class, however, you will have access to an extensive variety of weapons, including machine guns, sniper rifles and shotguns. Although classes do affect some weapon stats (for example, the Technomancer increases the damage of long-range weapons by 15%), you can still be free to customize the characters according to your style of play.

Abilities unique to the class can offer buffs, deal specific damage, or status effects. Although you can unlock a total of eight skills, you can equip a maximum of three. As you defeat the enemies you will also get class points, usable to a skill tree that will guarantee you very important passive bonuses.

Each skill tree is divided into three branches and made up of many nodes, and they can give you specific bonuses like attack buffs, life points increases, and more. given the presence of so many nodes, it will not be possible to immediately obtain the skills you need. Precisely for this reason it will be possible to reset the skill tree at any time, so as to be able to distribute all the points again according to your needs.

How to use the Technomancer 

Il Technomancer it's a support class, really excellent at long range, plus it can heal both itself and companions. His signature traits allow him to increase damage from long-range weapons by 15%, as well as leech damage by the same percentage. They can damage enemies and heal teammates at the same time, not bad right?

Being a support class, it's not the best suited for solo players, as long-range mastery isn't quite right for the aggressive pace of the game. Despite this, the skills of the Technomancer balance perfectly: having him in a team can really mean the difference between victory and defeat.

How to use the Pyromancer

The Pyromaniac is a mid-range class and prefers fire damage, heals himself while their enemies are burned by his flames. His traits allow you to increase the power of his anomaly by an additional 10%. The Pyromancer is a bit of the charmer of the group, the more it attacks and the more it sets enemies on fire the better it does to the group.

Furthermore, for those who want to face the game in single player, it is the best class, while the co-op its best match is with a Technomancer and the Destroyer.

How to use the Mystery

The Mystery is the class that comes closest to assassins, as it is agile and strikes at close range. As a character who relies on hit and run tactics, he might be the most fun to use for many: in fact, he can deliver deadly blows up close before slowing down time and fleeing.

His traits allow him 5% more maximum health, an active shield that defends from 5% of damage while each close kill heals 20% of hit points, even regenerating the shield.

How to use the Destroyer 

The Destroyer is the tank of the game par excellence: his size takes over the fray, including teammates to cushion the enemy fire. The perfect character for maximizing damage. Her class traits include 15% more maximum health, 30% damage-absorbing armor, and a 24% chance to heal each enemy kill.

His skills are perfect for attacking and resisting damage, which makes it perfect for joining the fray.
