Following are the ways of obtaining the Mindmugger Legendary Automatic Sniper Rifle in Outriders;

• Expedition Drop Pods

• Purchasing from Tiago

Expedition Drop Pods

Expeditions are unlocked once you complete the main campaign of Outriders. These are harder in difficulty but they also provide better rewards to the player. Expeditions are basically timed survival raids in Outriders. There are many different tiers of difficulties in Expeditions.

Playing at Tier 6 or higher in Expeditions will reward you with drop pods containing legendary items. Drop pods are basically loot boxes in Outriders. There is a chance of getting the Mindmugger Legendary Automatic Sniper Rifle from one of these drop pods. You can then dismantle the rifle in Outriders for its Anomaly Mutation mod.

Wanted Quest Replays

Replay Wanted Quests in Outriders and capture each and every target in the mission. Ujio will reward you with a Legendary weapon once you capture all targets in a Wanted Quest. So, there is a chance of getting the Mindmugger Legendary Automatic Sniper Rifle if you keep grinding these quests.

Purchasing from Tiago

When you are doing Expeditions in Outriders, you will receive many resources from Drop Pods. You can exchange these drop pod resources from Tiago for a Legendary Weapon. It should be noted that there is only a chance that you’ll get the Mindmugger Legendary Automatic Sniper Rifle so keep grinding for drop pod resources.

Uses of Anomaly Mutation in Outriders

Now let us discuss the buffs that your weapons receive upon using the Anomaly Mutation mod in Outriders. It is a very powerful mod considering it’s a Tier III mod. Basically, whenever you shoot an enemy with a weapon equipped with Anomaly Mutation, you will increase their status effects.

If an enemy is already suffering from a status effect, then Anomaly Mutation will mutate that effect into a new one. It should be noted that the ailments multiplicate anytime you hit your enemy. So you can continuously increase the number of status effects on your opponent with each bullet that hits them.

Having high Anomaly Power will further increase the benefits of Anomaly Mutation. Not only will you deal high damage with your weapons but you will also increase the status effects/ailments on your opponents. Anomaly Mutation is definitely an overpowered mod and you should grind to obtain it as soon as possible in Outriders.
