About
“Side Effects Guaranteed” is the first chapter of a two-part expansion for The Outer Worlds 2. A distress signal beckons you and your crew of the Incognito to a derelict ship, where you discover the ship’s crew in suspended animation to keep themselves alive, as they’ve been infected with something that causes explosive cell death. The hunt for a cure leads to Elysium Valley, a brand-new region on Eden.
Two Sub Rosa agents have very different plans for saving or sacrificing the crew which involve a Protectorate settlement and the future of Sub Rosa, and they want your help. The fate of settlement, the crew, and Sub Rosa itself are yours to decide. (Side effects may vary.)
What’s New
- Elysium Valley – Explore a new region on Eden, home to vicious canids and primal sprats (regular sprats, but about 100 times bigger).
