Outriders, the upcoming looter-shooter RPG from People Can Fly, is only two months away from release. There are four classes in the game for players to choose from, each with its own playstyle and strengths depending on the player and their choices. Last week has been Armor Week on theOutriders' Twitter, showing off four of the game’s Legendary sets.
No RPG character is complete without some shiny armor, preferably stocked full of overpowered skill mods. Fortunately, the four that People Can Fly has teased are exactly that. Each Legendary Armor set has four parts, each with two mods that boostOutriders' class skills.
Pyromancer - The Reforged
The Legendary Armor revealed forOutriders' Pyromancer classis called The Reforged, and sports a distinctly lava-like appearance, with glowing veins and swirling rock. Each of the four parts comes with a pair of powerful Mods, granting bonuses to the Pyromancer’s special abilities:
Cowl of the Reforged
Armor of the Reforged
Waistcloth of the Reforged:
Boots of the Reforged
The set bonus for The Reforged armor doubles down on the effects of these mods, granting a 50% damage boost to both Feed the Flames and Thermal Bomb. These skills are at the core of thePyromancer’s gameplay inOutriders, making this a massive boost.
Devastator - Deathproof
Following the tanky-trend ofOutriders' Devastator class, the Deathproof Legendary Armor set is all about toughing it out. As well as giving plenty of extra armor points, each part of the Deathproof set comes with some interesting mods.
Deathproof Leg Armor
Deathproof Footgear
The Deathproof set bonus is all about the Devastator’s Boulderdash ability, granting a whopping 90% cooldown reduction. Needless to say, this buff puts Boulderdash even more firmly at the core of theDevastator’s playstyle inOutriderswhen specc’d in this regard.

Trickster - Chronosuit
The Legendary Armor for the deviousTrickster class inOutridersis called the Chronosuit, and has a focus on teleportation and time-manipulation. The Trickster is a swift and deadly glass-cannon, again depending on how players build the character, and the mods on the Chronosuit double down on those traits.

The Chronosuit’s set bonus is all about making sure thatOutriders' Trickster is the DPS classthat players are looking for. It fully replenishes the ammunition in the Trickster’s weapon when they revert time with the Borrowed Time skill.
Technomancer - Torrential Downpour
The oddly-named Torrential Downpour is the Legendary Armor forthe Technomancer class inOutriders. The Technomancer is the support specialist of the group, and the mods in Torrential Downpour are all about improving control and healing.

Torrential Downpour’s Footgear
Astute players may have noticed a theme regarding the Scrapnel skill in Torrential Downpour’s mods, as many of the other mods increased the amount of mines thrown by theTechnomancer’s skill inOutriders. Well, not content with adding a ton of extra mines, the set bonus of Torrential Downpour creates additional cluster bombs after the mines explode.
From everything that People Can Fly has released so far, it looks like there’ll be three sets of Legendary Armor foreach class inOutridersat launch. Of course, that remains to be seen, but it’s not much more of a wait until then.
Outriderslaunches April 1 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X, with a Stadia version also in development.
