7 Star Wars Outlaws Tips Before You Start Playing

Star Wars Outlaws features a massive open-world, stealth sections, exciting gunplay, and more. There are many things in the game that can overwhelm players if they are unprepared.

The game has many systems and gameplay mechanics which are very different to other Ubisoft games. These seven Star Wars Outlaws tips will help players adapt to the game smoothly and enjoy Kay’s journey across the galaxy.

7. Visit Your Ship, The Trailblazer Regularly

Kay has a ship called The Trailblazer in Star Wars Outlaws that is the main mode of travel across the galaxy for her. This will help you get to destinations quickly and complete any quests and missions you might have there.

But even if you are not planning to use it to go anywhere, make sure that you visit it regularly once the ship is fixed. This is because all the rewards from factions that like the players will be in the delivery box on the ship and any other items from beneficiaries will also be scattered around the ship.

6. There Is More Than One Way In

Kay is an outlaw and is not welcome everywhere so players often need to break into hideouts and enemy bases. It gets more tricky as there will be guards at the main door who will not let you go without a fight.

Remember that there is more than a single way in, at least more than one. Try to see if you climb walls, go through the air vents, or look for a grapple point nearby you. This would help in getting somewhere undetected easily.

5. Always Find a High Ground During Combat

Star Wars Outlaws does not tell players about this but it is recommended that players try to find and get on a high ground during combat or if there are risks of being surrounded by enemies. This will be the players’ sudden advantage.

Getting on high ground not only makes it harder for enemies to shoot you, but it also gives you a clear view of the enemy. This will help you decide if you want to take them down or if it is better to evade those trying to kill.

4. Nix Is More Than Just Cute

Nix is your companion and while you may forget this with his cute tricks but he is very useful in combat and many other times. Nix can attacks enemies on your command that will make it easy for you to deal with them.

He can also rig alarms, cameras, reach areas that Kay can not due to small spaces, and also open and close doors and vents. Nix can pick weapons for you, distract enemies, and scan the areas to make sure there are no threats.

3. Syndicate Reputation Is Important

The Reputation is one of the biggest and most important systems in Star Wars Outlaws. While it is not easy to please all syndicates and criminal gangs, Kay needs to have connections with some syndicates to be able to complete quests.

The reputation will decide if syndicates trust you or not, allowing you to roam freely around them. This also gives access to Criminal Syndicate-exclusive merchants and also rewards with exclusive benefits, and in general too.

2. Blaster Is Your Only Permanent Weapon but Use Everything You Can

Kay Vess has a blaster with her and that is her only permanent weapon in Star Wars Outlaws. Players can get upgrades for the blaster and make it better but it will not be the best one to use in some situations.

It is recommended that you use everything that is at your disposal during a fight. You can use hazards to take down enemies, take Nix’s help to distract enemies, and use temporary weapon pickups such as blaster and sniper rifles.

1. Abilities Are Your Best Friend, Other Than Nix

Star Wars Outlaws does not have a skill tree but there are abilities that have various skills, helping players across their journey. There are several ‘Experts’ in the game that you can meet and convince to teach you abilities.

The abilities have a set of skills that need you to complete missions or gather resources to unlock them. This will help players massively by unlocking things like health upgrades, get smoke bombs, and much more.
