Outriders players are running into a blocked path glitch that prevents them from progressing through the game. It occurs when a user logs out in specific areas and then logs back in. Once the game has loaded, they find that a previously unblocked route is now blocked. Thankfully, there are some workarounds. Here’s how to fix the Outriders blocked path glitch.

To fix the Outriders blocked path glitch, players must do the following:
