Despite the success ofOutriders, players have been having problems with its matchmaking systems, causing some players to have trouble with mods activating while in matchmaking. While some issues withOutriders' networking are not the fault of the players, new reports shed light on theOutriderscommunity becoming a toxic environment. This toxicity is driving some players to only playOutriderssolo.
Recently, Reddit posts have started discussing how some players are kicking other players after clearing an endgame Expedition but before opening the Drop Pod, causing the kicked players to lose out on their hard-earned loot. This comes after previous news ofOutridersplayers kicking Devastators out of their groupssince Devastators do not have the best damage output.

FancyTangerine3312 on Reddit responded to anOutridersnews thread detailing their experience with getting kicked out of anendgame Expedition inOutridersbefore being able to claim their loot from the Drop Pod. FancyTangerine3312 went on to suggest that since players cannot join an Expedition after the last encounter has started, that players should not be allowed to kick other players during this same time.
OtherOutriderscommunity members have stated that they have also been the victim of this problem, with TxDieselKid posting a video to YouTube showing what it looks like being kicked before claiming their loot. Players hope that this discussion will bring more awareness to People Can Fly and lead to a fix for this problem.
Because of the toxic behavior of booting players, mixed with the bugs caused by inconsistent matchmaking,many players have chosen to focus on playingOutriderssolountil changes are made to make the multiplayer experience more enjoyable and inclusive.
While the endgame Expeditions are timed, players can feel pressured to play with other players to achieve the best rewards. WhileOutridersis designed to be played with other people, doing so can lead to players experiencing some of the game’s more frustrating issues, ultimately making the game feel worse.
Outriders' developers at People Can Fly have been doing their best to fix the current issue around inventory wipesbefore focusing on other aspects ofOutriders. Many gamers hope that People Can Fly can preventOutridersfrom drowning and continue on the road to success. However, many other players have already setOutridersaside for now. Only time will tell ifOutriderswill continue to thrive or if its recent stumbles will be too much for the game to recover from.
Outridersis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
