Diehard Outriders fans can finally relax and focus on grinding for the endgame activities. Now that the Outriders inventory bug is beginning to disappear into the rear-view mirror, gamers can commence or continue their search for upgrade materials throughout the world, specifically Iron Ore.
Iron Ore nodes are the key to crafting powerful weapons in Outriders. The good news is that the resource isn't all that rare, as there are 201 different locations. Even better, they always respawn in the same place, meaning over time, players can develop a routine to maximize their Iron Ore gains. Rift Town in particular has 16 Iron Ore nodes for players to obtain, so here's a rundown on all of the locations.

Starting in the Defensive Perimeter area, and facing the battlefield with the tank on the right, players will want to circle around and head towards the left flank. A pathway leading down will guide players to the first Iron Ore node, embedded in the wall.
Retracing some previous steps, Outriders fans will want to backtrack to the tank and take the right flank instead. Upon reaching the entrance to the destroyed town, players will need to make an immediate left. The blue Iron Ore node will be located next to a wagon with some sandbags inside.
Players should turn around and head into the town, taking some stairs to a small platform and another stairway leading back to the grassy pathways. Around the left corner will be the third Iron Ore node.
This node is almost directly behind from where the player is more or less standing. A quick 180 and players should be facing a small shaded area underneath some barricades. The Iron Ore node should come into view upon getting closer to it.
Players will need to turn around once more and head backwards, dropping off a ledge and making a quick right. After heading inside, on the left will be a gaping hole in the wall. Inside is the fifth Iron Ore node.
This Iron Node will require players to enter the "Payback" area via Audrey Storm, one of the NPCs in Outriders. Upon entry, players will need to navigate forward, going up some stairs and through a doorway. The Iron Ore node will be on the left behind a destroyed ledge.
Players will want to head over to the Ruined Outpost. Facing the slanted white and blue building, this Iron Ore node is located under the ledge and slightly to the right.
Heading past the white and blue building, players will want to stick to the left path and hug the wall. Shortly after passing a flag, this Iron Ore node is embedded in the wall around the corner.
First, while facing the previous node, players will want to head towards the opening on the right. This should lead to a higher view of the aforementioned white and blue building. Turning around players will want to follow the path forward, making a left turn once they reach a small body of water. Next to an open sewer pipe lies the ninth Iron Ore node.
Players should return to the previous main path, which will lead around a corner to another body of water and a ledge leading to higher ground. Like the previous node, Iron Node #10 is embedded in the wall next to the water.

Going up the ledge, players will come to a small pathway on their left. Venturing further in reveals the eleventh Iron Ore node, embedded in the back wall.
Rift Town - Iron Ore Node #12
Now in the Crossroads area, players will need to head over to the "Historian-Everlasting" location in Outriders. Once inside, players will need to head down and hug the right wall. The twelfth Iron Node will be on the right side.
Rift Town - Iron Ore Node #13
Heading inside the cave, players will need to take the first left pathway leading to a small clearing. Keeping forward and following the wooden planks, players make two rights into a second cave-like system. Upon exiting, this Iron Ore node will be on the left side.
Rift Town - Iron Ore Node #14
This Iron Ore node is located on the right side of the clearing. Weaving through a few pillars and dilapidated debris, this Iron Node is located next to a fence and between some burning fires.
Rift Town - Iron Ore Node #15
Outriders players will need to be in the Shattered Front for this node. In the "Terra Infirma" area, navigating through the dark walkway leads to a clearing. This Iron Node will be to the immediate left area, embedded in a wall.
Rift Town - Iron Ore Node #16
The final Iron Ore node is located inside the building in this area, being in the far back left corner.
Outriders is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
