How to prevent the entire inventory wipe bug in Outriders

All the reports that have emerged regarding the inventory wipe bug have all stated that this problem usually arises when players try to join an online lobby.

Solo players who have been enjoying Outriders as a single-player title haven't fallen prey to the vicious inventory wipe bug.

According to the reports, the bug gets triggered when players join a multiplayer lobby in Outriders. It begins with a simple game crash and eventually results in an entire inventory going empty.

These reports add that until a fix is released for this Outriders bug, players should try and avoid the multiplayer mode. They are also advised to turn off crossplay to remain protected from this bug.

Entire inventories getting wiped after hours of looting and grinding in Outriders can be a thoroughly disheartening experience for players. However, they can prevent the same from happening by simply sticking with the single-player mode until an update arrives to fix the bug.

Considering the disastrous launch of Outriders on April 1st, the developers have done exceedingly well to address most in-game issues. It is also expected that all the remaining bugs and glitches will get fixed very soon, ensuring it remains one of the best gaming experiences of the year.
