Can You Complete Outriders Worldslayer Solo?

Outriders Worldslayer is the next major update for Square Enix's third-person looter-shooter game, Outriders. The new content drop adds a new story expansion, a new endgame called Trials of Tarya Gatar, and several tweaks/adjustments to the base game.

Given its loot-based multiplayer structure, Outriders Worldslayer may seem very similar to live-service games like Destiny 2 or Anthem, and in many ways, it is.

However, developer People Can Fly has stated multiple times that Outriders is not a live service game, and functions primarily as a PvE looter-shooter with a single-player story. But how does that make Outriders a solo experience, in particular, Outriders Worldslayer?

Outriders Worldslayer solo - How is it?

Thankfully, Outriders seems to be designed in a way so that you can play it solo in its entirety. We played through the entire base game campaign solo at World Tier 6, and while it was undoubtedly a challenging experience, it was also quite satisfactory.

While Square Enix hasn't explicitly mentioned otherwise, it's safe to assume that the Outriders Worldslayer campaign is also designed in a way so that solo players can enjoy it on their own.

Best class for playing Outriders Worldslayer solo

While you can play through Outriders Worldslayer (both the base game and the expansion's story missions) solo with any of the game's four classes, some are better suited than others to tackle the game alone.

Although described as a cover shooter, Outriders is a fast-paced action game where you have to be constantly moving to survive the swarm of enemies that will try to kill you. In such situations, classes that focus on either long-range damage or close-range damage aren't much effective and make the game seem tougher than it actually is.

Hence, we recommend equipping a mid-range damage class like Pyromancer or Trickster that would allow you to deal damage from a safe but not far distance. These classes would also allow you to make quick getaways when in need. Both Trickster and Pyromancer classes have powerful skills that do AOE damage and are perfect for controlling the crowd while you shoot and dodge from a safe distance.

Can you play Outriders Worldslayer endgame solo?

While you can start Trial of Tarya Gatar, Outriders Worldslayer endgame activity, solo, developer People Can Fly recommends not doing so. As you would expect, Trial of Tarya Gatar offers the best loot in the game, but it's also where you will encounter the most challenging foes.

Unfortunately, the difficulty level in Outriders Worldslayer endgame doesn't adjust according to the number of players in a party, which means even if you venture solo, the game's difficulty won't scale down for you, making it downright impossible to play solo. That concludes our guide on what Outriders class you should choose to play solo.
