We have narrowed down some of the best mods that help improve game functionality, which was previously lacking. With these mods, you can enjoy outward more than the base game itself.

Best Outward Mods

25. Hide Helmet

As any seasoned adventurer knows, Outward is not an easy game.

From braving the elements to fighting off deadly enemies, there are plenty of challenges to keep even the most hardened traveler on their toes.

However, one of the biggest annoyances in this game and others is the frustration over not being able to see your character’s face!

Hide Helmet makes it simple to toggle your player character’s helmet visibility on or off to suit the situation. (This is a visual change; the helmet’s stats remain.)

24. Instantly Take Items

This simple mod does exactly what it sounds like – it lets you pick up items in the world around you without having to hold the button down.

So, if you’re looking for a quick way to gather some plants or resources, this is the perfect mod for you.

We love no-brainer quality-of-life improvements like Instantly Take Items. It makes us question why game devs add such little annoyances in the first place. Does anyone know why?

23. Extended Quickslots

Extended Quickslots is a must-have mod for any experienced Outward player.

It adds a configurable number of new quickslots, which can be independently customized to your liking.

Additionally, it also binds two hidden emotes, which are extremely useful for social situations.

The mod gets the job done and is easy to use, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their Outward experience.

What would we do without the unpaid labor and passion of the modding communities behind our favorite game titles?

22. The Rising of the Shields

Outward’s intriguing spin on the open-world RPG genre is a breath of fresh air, and The Rise of the Shields mod only makes it better.

As the name suggests, this mod completely revamps the game’s shields, making them more durable, impact-resistant, and elemental-resistant.

Plus, there’s a lot more variability in terms of looks and stats.

In short, if you’re looking for a mod that will make your Outward experience even more enjoyable and dynamic, The Rise of the Shields is definitely worth checking out.

21. More Gatherable Loot

More Gatherable Loot is a mod for the game Outward that increases the quantity of gatherable loot.

The mod is simple to install and can be easily configured to your liking.

The default settings are fine for most players, but if you want more or less loot, you can easily change the settings.

One of the great things about this mod is that it doesn’t change the balance of the game. So, if you’re looking for a way to get more loot without making the game too easy, this is the mod for you!

20. Stop Food Decay

Stop Food Decay is a wonderful mod for any Outward player.

As the name implies, it prevents all perishable food items from decaying.

This means you won’t have to worry about your food rotting, which can be a real pain in the game.

The mod also has a lot of other benefits. For example, it makes it so you don’t have to micromanage your food storage, and you’ll always have fresh food on hand.

It’s a great mod for those who want to focus on other aspects of the game, and it’s also great for those who simply don’t want to deal with the hassle of managing their food.

Some players enjoy the micro-management mechanics in games like this, but for those that don’t, this mod can be the detail that makes them give Outward a try; we think that’s a total win!

19. Reset Breakthrough Points

Outward is a game all about exploration and discovery. You’re constantly pushing yourself to find new things, and part of that is overcoming the challenges that stand in your way.

But sometimes, those challenges can seem insurmountable.

18. Combat Tweaks

Do you find yourself getting frustrated with the combat in Outward? Us too.

This mod makes a few small but significant changes to the way that combat works, making it more fluid and responsive.

For example, it adjusts the ‘hit-stop’ effect so that your attacks flow more smoothly into one another.

Additionally, it allows you to cancel attacks and other actions with a dodge and to interrupt blocking with an attack.

These tweaks make combat feel much more dynamic and exciting, and they can give you a real edge in battle.

Be sure to try out the Combat Tweaks mod for a more challenging and rewarding combat experience.

17. Balanced Item Rng

One of the game’s few drawbacks is the lack of variety in loot.

Players can often find themselves stuck with the same items, which can lead to monotony and frustration.

The Balance Item RNG mod seeks to address this issue by adding more variety to loot tables and increasing the chances of finding rarer items.

In addition to more variety, the mod also adds a chance for 1-5 extra items to spawn from containers.

This not only helps to spice up the gameplay but also makes looting more rewarding and engaging.

As a team who loves Outward, we can say that this mod is a must-have for anyone looking to bring a faster pace to their game.
