How do you get Anomaly Power?
Increasing your Outriders Anomaly Power is, thankfully, relatively easy to achieve. You can do this in a few ways:
- Armor mods such as Move Groove, Aura of Force, and Power Assimilation can increase your power depending on circumstances. These range from the number of Elites on a Battlefield, to boosts being applied after critical shots.
- All armor looted in-game has the chance to drop with an Anomaly Power attribute. These bonuses stack, too, so utilize them carefully to maximize your output.
