Here’s where you can find all the rift anomaly in The Outer Worlds 2 and collect some of the strongest weapons and gear in the game.
A rift anomaly in The Outer Worlds 2 is a unique cosmic event, and, although they are quite deadly for you to close, they’re full of hidden treasures.
The only way to open a rift anomaly is by using the Rift Anomaly Modulator, a special gadget that you unlock during the “An Instrument to Unfold Space & Time” main quest. Once you have the item, the option to open a rift will appear when you get near one of them.
By opening a rift, you may find a container with a legendary item, or it may reveal platforms leading to powerful pieces of gear. To help you get all the sweet loot they hide, we listed all the rift anomaly locations in The Outer Worlds 2.
[Ed. note: Spoilers follow for The Outer Worlds 2.]
All rift anomaly locations in The Outer Worlds 2
There are a total of 33 rift anomalies in The Outer Worlds 2. While most will lead you to legendary guns or strong gear, others only serve as a path between gaps and other spatial limitations during the campaign. Consider checking our The Outer Worlds 2 interactive map to find key locations mentioned throughout this list.
Be aware that this list encompasses the final area in the game, and it contains minor spoilers.
Paradise Island rift anomaly locations
There are three rift anomaly locations in Paradise Island.
You’ll find this rift anomaly north of the Excogitation Chapel, behind a small Protectorate camp on the cliff facing the Vex Relay Station. Opening it gives you the Goomerang legendary gun.
Southwest of the landing pad, you’ll find a small lake and the entrance to the Crabble Spawning Grounds. In this area, there are two rifts. Opening them reveals a few platforms that you’ll use to reach a higher location where you’ll find the Shrink Ray legendary gun.
The quickest way to reach this rift anomaly is by going southwest of The Bridge of the Reverent fast travel point. It will reveal a corpse from which you can collect the Gary suit and the Tossball Card: Matthew Singh.
Free Market Station rift anomaly locations
There’s only one rift anomaly in the Free Market Station. Before you get to the Free Market Plaza, there’s a small area you can access to the southeast. Follow the short corridor to find the rift anomaly.
Using the Rift Anomaly Modulator gives you access to a vendor that sells the following items:
Golden Ridge rift anomaly locations
There are three rift anomaly locations in Golden Ridge.
There are three rift anomalies in what seems like an excavation site west of Golden Ridge. The fastest way to get there and avoid the toxic river is by coming from the N-Ray Range fast travel point on the north side. When open, all three rifts will create platforms, helping you cross over the gaps, and reach the final platform where there’s a container with the legendary Minigun.
To start, open the southernmost rift anomaly, which will lead you to the other rift anomalies.
At the Alexandra Station, near the landing pad, you’ll find this rift anomaly right at the edge of the station. By activating it, platforms will appear, allowing you to reach another segment of the station on the northwest side.
Cross to the other side, and you will find a container on the ground with the legendary gun Feedback Cannon.
Head to the eastern end of a trench north of the landing pad to find this rift anomaly. We recommend using the Scrapper’s Den fast travel point northwest of it to quickly reach it.
