There’s plenty to keep you busy inStar Wars Outlaws.Whether you’re advancing the main plot in preparation for the big heist, exploring the hidden corners of the Outer Rim in search of treasure, or just trying to stay one step ahead of the Empire, you might forget that there are also a ton of Achievements or Trophies to unlock as well.
While many of the awards available for dedicated players are pretty straightforward, some require a lot of extra effort - or even playing the game counterintuitively. If you have all of these accolades, you may consider yourself a true scoundrel.
8Old School Cool
Honorable Mention
Old School Cool isn’t actually all that difficult, though it can be a bit time-consuming as you need tosearch the expanses of space in orbit around each of the game’s planets.This award does bear special mention, however, as it wasbugged in the PS5 version of Star Wars Outlaws at launch; even if you fulfilled the conditions, the Trophy wouldn’t pop.
The bug has since been patched, so no matter which platform you’re playing the game on, you may now get Old School Cool byseeking out the old Separatist transmissions in spaceand following them to theDisruptor outfit.
Using radar pings is a great way to find transmissions while you’re exploring.
7It Wasn’t Me
Troopers Came In And They Caught Me Red-Handed
Despite having a fairly simple unlock condition,It Wasn’t Mecan be more trouble than it’s worth. For starters, you need to reachmaximum Wanted statuswith the Empire by fighting Storm Troopers and trespassing in secure areas. Then, rather than clearing your name the usual way by raiding a Death Trooper camp, you need tomake your way back to the nearest cityand bribe an Imperial Officer to wipe your record.
Given that Fast Travel is disabled once you reach max Wanted, and the Storm Troopers set up roadblocks all over the place, getting back to a city can be a huge pain. At that point, the Death Troopers might actually be the easier choice.
6Honest Work
When Do I Get To Try The Kessel Run?
Honest Workcan either be a breeze or a tedious slog, depending on your playstyle. If you don’t like to get bogged down in side quests, it’s going to feel like an endless grind. On the other hand, if you like zipping around on your speeder and doing quick in-and-out stealth missions,completing forty Broker Missionswill shake out in the normal course of play.
5Got You Something
Hope You Like Exploring
Got You Something is awarded forfinding all fifteen Nix Treasures. They aren’t marked on the map until you pass close enough to one that Nix alerts you to its presence, so unless you already know where they are, you’re going to have to do a lot of exploring in the open-world sections of the game if you want to find them all.
Most of the Nix Treasure sections are pretty easy; simplyfollow Nixuntil he starts pawing at the ground near a vista. A few have obscured views or dangerous climbs, though, so this is one award you’ll really have to earn.
4It’s Mine Now
Interplanetary Treasure Hunt
If you’ve played other open-world games, the Holotracker map forJet Kordo’s Legacymight have given you pause when it was first revealed. Galavanting around trying to find a specific piece of terrain when you could be blasting Storm Troopers isn’t necessarily how you want to spend your gaming time, after all.
Luckily, the locations on the Holotracker are allnotable landmarks on their respective planets. You can even pick them out on the map from the menu if you look carefully, by comparing roads and other features. Finding every vault still requirestracking down leads on the Miyuki Trade Leagueand solving some puzzles, but by the time you’re done you’ll have every piece of theScoundrel set, earning you theIt’s Mine Nowaward.
3Into Darkness
Isn’t That A Star Trek Reference?
While the space combat in Outlaws isn’t the best that Star Wars has ever seen (after all, what could be better than the 1994 classicTIE Fighter?), it’s still loads of fun. That said, if you’re looking to reach a hundred percent, you might want to play some relaxing music or something while you try forInto Darkness.
This award requires you toshoot down ten enemy ships while in the Kijimi Nebula.The nebula cloudseverely obscures your vision; not only does this make it difficult to stay on target, but it also means there’s a good chance you’llsmash right into an asteroidthat you couldn’t see until it was right in front of you.
On the plus side, you might be able to force an enemy to crash, earningNever Tell Me The Oddsif you don’t already have it.
Actually, You Really Did
This award is unlocked byreaching Terrible Reputationwith one of the four criminal syndicates. Despite the name,Think I Had A Choicerequires consistent, deliberate double-crossing and antagonizing of a single gang.
You can quickly tank your Reputation bytaking jobs from a syndicatethen betraying them when the objective is completed, but once you drop below Good they’ll stop working with you. At that point, you’ll need to startgoing to their basesto brazenly steal from them and attack their guards -don’t bother with stealth, cause as much damage as you can, and make sure they know it was you.
It’s a good idea tocreate a separate save filespecifically for the purposes of ruining your reputation for the Achievement/Trophy, then loading your old file to undo the damage once it’s unlocked.
1Punching Up
Great Shot, Kid, That Was One In A Million
Each of the Syndicates has acapital shipthat you can engage in space combat with the Trailblazer. They’reamong the toughest enemies in the game, and of course the crime bosses won’t take kindly to you blowing up their prized vessels. Of course,Punching Upisn’t merely awarded for defeating all four capital ships; that would be too easy. You have to do itwithout taking any hull damage during any of the four fights.
Naturally, you’ll want tofully upgrade the Trailblazer’s combat systemsbefore you attempt this unlock. In particular, you need tomax out the Shield systemsandlearn all the maneuvers from theHigh Roller ability set.It’s also a very good idea tohave at least one ion weapon systemso that you can potentially disable your opponent and earn yourself some breathing room.
