Discover how to get and use The Messenger Legendary Assault Rifle in Outriders: Worldslayer. Learn about its mods, best uses, and acquisition methods.

Alright, let's talk about The Messenger, a pretty sweet Legendary Assault Rifle in Outriders: Worldslayer. It's got some unique mods that can really spice up your gameplay, especially if you're running a Trickster build. We'll cover how to snag this bad boy and how to make the most of its firepower.

The Messenger Legendary Assault Rifle Mods

The Messenger comes with two awesome mods:

• Dimensional Rockets (Tier 3): Whenever you land a critical shot, this mod fires off four rockets towards the four closest enemies. Each rocket packs a punch with X damage.
• Omen (Tier 3): This mod is a real game-changer. Your shots will launch a projectile that pierces cover and inflicts Bleed. On top of that, it applies a status that makes enemies take 30% more damage for 3 seconds, dealing X damage itself.

How to Get The Messenger in Outriders Worldslayer

Getting your hands on The Messenger can be a bit of a grind, but here are the best ways:

The most reliable method is to push your Ascension Tiers as high as you can. The higher the tier, the better your chances are of finding Apocalyptic Legendaries, and The Messenger can drop this way. Just keep at it, slay those enemies, and eventually, it should pop up.

Alternatively, you can check in with Tiago at the base camp. He sometimes has The Messenger available in his Elite Offers. Just a heads-up, these legendary weapons aren't cheap, so make sure you're balancing dismantling gear and selling items to gather enough resources and scrap. If you've got any Drop Pod Resources lying around, you can use them to Reroll Tiago's offers for a fresh batch of items. Need more Drop Pod Resources? We've got a guide for that!

How to Use The Messenger Legendary Assault Rifle

The Messenger truly shines thanks to its Omen mod. That cover-piercing, Bleed-inflicting projectile that also amps up incoming damage by 30% is fantastic for controlling the battlefield and shredding tougher foes. Plus, with a magazine size of 30 bullets and a Healing Received Bonus, you can keep regenerating health while laying down consistent fire.

This rifle is a particularly great fit for Tricksters using the Assassin Tree. Since that build focuses heavily on Close Weapon Damage, The Messenger allows Tricksters to stay in the thick of things longer. You'll be constantly regenerating HP and making those close-range encounters much more manageable. Tougher enemies become less of a threat when you can close the distance and unload.
