Outriders developers at People Can Fly (creator of Bulletstorm) written on the game subreddit. “To that end, we are redirecting agricultural efforts towards in-game mechanics that might be more enjoyable for players to play and rehearse.”

Some of the specific changes coming in a demo patch that should go live later today are as follows:

• Epic items will no longer appear in stores and vendors (in the demo).
• Chests will no longer drop Legendary items.
• Side Quest rewards (on repeats) will now have a chance to drop Legendary items.
