Introduction to the Outriders Loot Cave
The Outriders demo has given players a chance to experience a slice of the upcoming looter shooter RPG. One of the most exciting parts of a looter game is obtaining powerful new gear, and players have discovered a very effective way to farm legendary items in the demo - the Outriders Loot Cave.
This farming method allows you to repeatedly defeat a boss and collect epic loot with very little effort. It's an exploit similar to the infamous Loot Cave from Destiny 1. This guide will explain everything you need to know about using this strategy to gear up fast in the Outriders demo.
What is the Outriders Loot Cave?
The Outriders Loot Cave refers to a specific room in the Terra Infirma story mission. After completing the main campaign, you can replay missions. When you replay Terra Infirma, the second arena area with a bridge and a boss is the Loot Cave. To use this farming method, simply run through the first part of the mission until you reach this room. Defeat the boss, pick up any epic or legendary drops, and let the other enemies kill you. This will respawn you at the start of the arena so you can run back and defeat the boss again in just over a minute.
Is This Exploit Temporary?
History shows us game developers quickly patch out exploits like this that allow players to circumvent the intended progression system. The chances seem high that People Can Fly will remove or heavily nerf this farming method. So if you want to grab some easy legendary weapons and armor in the Outriders demo, make sure to take advantage of this Loot Cave before the opportunity disappears!
Step-by-Step Guide to Farming the Loot Cave
Using the Loot Cave to farm legendary gear is simple. Here is a step-by-step walkthrough:
-
Complete the main story missions in the Outriders demo.
-
Launch Terra Infirma from the Trench Town hub area and proceed through the first section.
-
When you reach the second arena with the bridge, defeat the boss and any nearby elites.
-
Pick up any epic or legendary loot that drops from these enemies.
-
Allow yourself to be killed by the remaining weaker monsters.
-
You will respawn at the start of the bridge. Run back and defeat the boss again.
-
Repeat this process as many times as desired. With practice, you can complete each run in under a minute.
Some additional tips: Use your class abilities and mods to speed up each run as much as possible. Equip gear with lots of close range damage for quickly melting the boss.
Legendary Gear Drops
The Outriders Loot Cave can reward you with many different types of epic and legendary gear, even at the demo's max World Tier 5. Here are some of the notable weapons and armor you can farm:
Legendary weapons: The Migraine, Grim Marrow, Amber Vault
Legendary armor: Seismic Commander Helmet, Statue Armor Chest, Marshal Armor Legs
Mods: Impale, Claymore Torrent, Radiation Jump
Using this farming method, you can relatively quickly gather a powerful build utilizing some of the best endgame gear and abilities the demo has to offer.
Best Builds for Speed Runs
To maximize your legendary drops per hour, you'll want to build your character specifically for speed running the Loot Cave.
Some of the best builds include:
Trickster - Use Temporal Blade, Venator's Knife, and Cyclone Slice abilities with close range damage and cooldown reduction mods.
Devastator - Equip Gravity Leap, Impale, and Endless Mass with similar CDR and damage mods.
Pyromancer - Focus on Thermal Bomb, Overheat, and Feed The Flames to quickly burst down enemies.
Conclusion
The Outriders Loot Cave presents players with a time-limited opportunity to gear up their characters for endgame expeditions. If you want to try out powerful legendary gear and build crafting before the full game's release, be sure to take advantage of this exploit while it lasts.
