There’s a vast array of powerful weapons in both traditional and space-age styles to collect throughout your Outriders adventure. But if you want to search out the most extraordinary ordinance on Enoch, you need to lay your hands on legendary weapons.
Outriders’ legendary weapons are very strong, often not only boasting a sky-power level, but also come packing a unique ability which far exceeds the regular fare you can find.
Some of the legendary guns synchronise more with the different playstyles of each of Outriders’ classes. With that in mind, we’ll show you not only where to find legendary weapons in Outriders and how to farm them, but give you a run-down of every one we’ve seen so far as well.

Where to find Legendary Weapons in Outriders
While there are a couple of levers you can pull to maximise your chances, looting legendary weapons in Outriders involves a whole lot of luck.
There are two main things to consider:
- The type of enemy you’re fighting
- Your World Tier
Captains
First off, the regular mobs you battle throughout Outriders’ levels can pretty much all drop loot.
However – as you might have guessed – more powerful enemies have a greater chance of dropping higher tier, and legendary, equipment.
This means that you have the highest chance of scooping a top prize when you’re taking on mini-bosses.
In the early areas of Outriders shown in the demo, these mini-bosses appear as Captains. There’s one in the main quest, Reunion, and another appears in the side quest at the end of the demo: Terra Infirma.
Going up against this class of enemy more often will increase your chance of a legendary weapon drop.
The boss in the Payback side-mission, Reiner, is technically also a Captain, but I haven’t personally seen him drop loot.
World Tier
Secondly, as you progress through Outriders, the World Tier bar at the top of the screen will fill.
Once full, you’ll be able to progress to the next, more difficult, World Tier, which will in turn activate more play bonuses.
Grinding on World Tier 5 – the highest available in the demo – and beyond when the full game drops, will give you an increased chance of bagging the legendary you so desire as you play.
How to farm Legendary Weapons in Outriders
So: you know to play on the highest World Tier you have, and you know you need to fight Captains – but how do you reliably sync those two things up?
There are a couple of ways – even in the Outriders demo – you can do this to farm Legendary Weapons.
Terra Infirma method
The slower version is to continually re-run the Terra Infirma side-mission that unlocks when you reach the end of the Reunion main mission.
Eventually you’ll get to a point in Reunion where you’re meant to meet Jakub at the city gates, and doing so will end the demo.
If you return to Shira, she’ll offer a side-quest where you track down a missing fighter.
Accept, then fast-travel to the crossroads before heading over to the left.
Jump the gap and fight through the enemies in the next area.
Proceed, then clear out the first wave of enemies in this next area. When you’ve done this, a Captain will spawn and you can take him out for a chance at a legendary.
You can replay this quest in the demo as much as you want, so you can grind through until you get lucky.
Reunion method
Alternatively, a much quicker method is to exploit a checkpoint in the main mission’s objectives.
As detailed by DPJ in the video below, at an early stage in the Reunion mission, you’ll be asked to “carve a path to the solar tower”.
After leaving the city, you’ll fight through a group of soldiers and clear some debris to get to the Crossroads.
Continue forward, and you’ll fight through another area of enemies, eventually picking up a key to advance.
When you open the door with the key, you’ll go around a corner to the left and a Captain will roll out from behind a pillar to attack you.
Take him out as quickly as possible for your chance at legendary loot, then let the other enemies kill you.
The checkpoint will spit you out in front of the door again, and when you return around the corner, the Captain will respawn – giving you a fresh chance at glory.
Repeat this over and over and you’ll eventually get a Legendary.
If you’ve already played past this point, just return to the main menu, click “Select Story Point” then choose “Meet with Jakub and Shira at her command room”.
