Below we have listed how to unlock Crafting, how to craft items, and some other information about crafting in Outriders.
How to Unlock Crafting in Outriders
In Outriders, you will first need to unlock crafting before being able to use the skill. You will first need to unlock the base and also complete the first main quest.
Talk to Jakub, who will give you a mission to First City. Head to First City to start the quest ‘Dedication’. In this quest, your objective will be to find Dr. Zahedi. In the next quest called ‘Salvation’, you will have to rescue Dr. Zahedi and then obtain his briefcase.
Both these quests are quite straightforward and linear, so you won’t have to worry about what to do in them. After rescuing Zahedi, talk to him before returning to Jakub to unlock crafting.
Crafting Items
After unlocking Crafting, the crafting menu can be accessed by talking to Zahedi. Crafting items requires resources, and in Outriders, there are many different types of resources present.
Resources can be gained by mining, killing animals, etc. Below are the different resources that can be harvested in Outriders.
Leather
It can be acquired by killing animals or disassembling old armor.
Iron
It can be acquired by mining ore veins or disassembling old weapons.
Titanium
It can be acquired by dismantling epic or legendary items. Also received as rare drops from enemies and ore veins.
Anomaly Shards
It can be obtained by dismantling items.
Out of the above 4 crafting materials, Leather and Iron are the most common ones as throughout the game, you will be obtaining them whenever you kill enemies or dismantle items.
Item Rarities and Levelling up Equipment
In Outriders, using Crafting, you can improve the rarity of your equipment and also level up the rare, epic, and legendary items.
In Outriders, there are 5 different Item rarities:
- Common
- Unusual
- Rare
- Epic
- Legendary
The rarity of an item can be increased by using iron, leather, or titanium (depends on the type of item). Improving the rarity of common and unusual weapons requires iron or leather. However, titanium will be required if you want to increase rarity of Rare weapons. Rarity of Epic and Legendary Items cannot be increased
When you upgrade the rarity of an item, you can apply one of the three mods currently available on them. However, the bonus attribute will be randomly assigned to the item. Gear rarity also increases the primary attribute of the weapon.
Leveling up a rare, epic, or legendary item increases the primary stats of the item. It also randomizes all the attribute values of the item. Items can be leveled up by using leather, iron, or titanium.
