Want to know how many missions there are in Outriders? This looter-shooter has a fair amount of stuff to do before the all-important Outriders endgame – where all the best loot is – so it’s only reasonable to want to know how far away you are from that point. It’ll take the average player roughly 25-30 hours to finish the main campaign.
While the main missions are rather self-explanatory, there are a few different types of side quests available. Alongside the more traditional missions, there are also several wanted posters, bone piles, and historical trinkets to investigate – and doing so nets you some rather awesome rewards. Make sure you complete some of these at a high world tier to grab some valuable Outriders legendary weapons or even some Outriders legendary armor!
So if you need to know how many more missions you need to play before you enter the endgame, this guide will list every single main story mission, and just for good measure, every side quest location as well.
Outriders story missions
The Outriders main quest list has 25 story missions, with several taking place in the same areas. Some missions have several segments, or story points, so will take longer to complete. Each story point can be replayed at any time by going into the main menu and choosing the ‘Select Story Point’ option.
