For a looter shooter, the worst thing that can happen is for players to lose all of their hard-earned loot. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened with the looter shooter, Outriders.
So prevalent was the item wipe bug that players threatened to quit the game altogether. However, following a recent patch, Square Enix and People Can Fly are confident that players will no longer need to worry about entire inventories going missing.
With the problem fixed for the foreseeable future, the Outriders team now has their eyes on restoring the items of those who were unfortunate enough to have their inventories wiped before the fix.
What Is God Roll Gear?
A Square Enix representative clarified the situation via a post on Reddit. u/thearcan explained that players who lost items to the inventory wipe issue will receive the equivalent items with the same attribute combinations. However, as a bonus, the same items will come with "God Roll values".
For those that don't know what means, a "God Roll value" guarantees that the item will have similar or better quality than the ones that the victims lost.
In addition to guaranteeing the quality and rarity of the replacement items, u/thearcan also talked about how Square Enix will consider World Tiers and Challenge Tiers, as well as the highest available equip level of the victim's character, before replacing the lost items.
