All Main Story Missions
Outriders‘ critical path takes you across the diverse regions of Enoch in pursuit of the mysterious Signal while uncovering what befell the missing colonists. From Enoch‘s major cities to an abandoned alien fortress, this section details all 22 chapters you‘ll play through.
1. Carnage (Prologue)
You awake amidst a war zone to first experience Enoch‘s chaotic energy altering your body and mind. With destruction all around, you must rendezvous with your fellow Outriders to understand what is happening…
Location: Trench Town
Goal: Reach the rest of your expedition
Tips: Equip the best starting gear from your class‘s early unlock options before beginning. The path is linear so just stay on course through the crumbling buildings and battlefield wreckage. Peharko, Gauss, and international mercenaries are your earliest cannon fodder.
Reward: Unlocking your first class power after the Anomaly storm
2. Reunion
Carve your way through the super powers and anarchy of Rift Town to reconnect with what remains of the human colonization effort. This chapter provides your real first taste of abilities-driven combat Outriders is known for.
Location: Rift Town
Goal: Rescue Jakub and meet Shira
Tips: Keep moving and utilize cover against mid-range turrets. The Altered sniper battle demands patience and quick dodging between shots. Each class receives their second unlock here so put those new skills to work against the Technomancer boss!
Reward: Class receives second unlock powerup
3. Detour – Challenging Outpost Assault
While many missions require simple travel between objectives, the trip to Trench Town here turns into an all-out fortress siege. Be prepared with your best weaponry before embarking.
Location: Deadrock Pass
Goal: Escort Marshal Bailey to Trench Town
Tips: Pack long range weapons to take down snipers and selectively trigger the heavy autoturrets to avoid being swarmed. Move methodically from cover to cover while advancing. Don‘t rush ahead solo or you risk being cornered. The final wave spawns deadly Alpha Perforos, so have abilities ready!
Reward: Access to class-specific legendary set gear
