World Tier

World Tier affects the difficulty setting in Outriders.

Setting a new World Tier level increases the difficulty of the game but also offers better rewards. If the game is too difficult, you may wish to lower your world level. You can also set the game to automatically choose from the highest available world tier.

You can unlock World Tiers by playing with the highest currently available tier selected. Experience points gained for killing enemies will add to the World Tier progress bar. Completing quests does not add to the progress bar. When the bar is filled, a new World Tier will unlock, until you reach the max tier. You lose a portion of your World Tier progress whenever you die.

You can select the World Tier in the Game Menu, where you can also choose to have the game automatically select the highest World Tier available. Remember to claim the one-time rewards you receive for unlocking new tiers.

In Co-op play, you can play on your own highest available World Tier as the Party Leader. If another player is the Party Leader and has chosen a tier higher than what you've unlocked, you continue levelling up as you would with your own highest World Tier selected.
