Quick Links
In the criminal underworld ofStar Wars Outlaws, money goes out as quickly as it comes in. Whether you’re dropping thousands of credits on new gear or slipping a few hundred to an informant for key intel on a mission, it always pays to have cash on hand as you explore the Outer Rim.
Outlaws isn’t the kind of game where you can just go around blasting Storm Troopers and getting money for it, though. You need to think like a space scoundrel in order to get by. If you need to hustle up some credits, these are the best ways to do it.
Sell Valuables
The easiest way to scrape together some quick cash is tosell valuables.These items can be found all over, and are clearly marked in your inventory as “safe to sell.” They don’t have any purpose other than to fence for credits, soyou don’t lose anything by trading them in.
Valuables typically need to besold in bulkto turn a large profit, sobe sure to check corners and side roomswherever you explore. Remember, Kay is a thief by trade - if it’s not nailed down and nobody’s watching, it’s finders keepers!
Gorak’s Ring is technically a valuable, but the game is smart enough not to let you sell it along with bulk goods in case you want to keep it for later.
You can also sell crafting materials, but this is best done as a last resort since you might actually need them for something.
Gamble
If you have some credits to risk,betting on fathier racesorplaying Sabacccan help you get the extra money for a key purchase… or leave you in a worse position than before. Luckily, there are ways to ensure that these so-called games of chance tip in your favor.
Fixed Fathier Races
If you look around major cities, you may occasionally finddatapads with information about fixed fathier races.With that intel, you can go to the nearest betting parlor andplace a sure bet, guaranteeing yourself a win. It’s best toonly bet on fixed races, since otherwise there is too high a risk of just losing credits.
Sabacc
Most Sabacc tables let you makethree times your buy-in backif you win, and offer an additional prize after your first victory. It’s ideal to win on your first hand, but you’re able to still make a profit by losing the first hand and winning the second. After that, you’re looking at breaking even or losing money.
High-roller tables have the biggest payouts, but their players are skilled and have powerful Shift Tokens. There’s no shame in cleaning out a lower-level table over and over again if you’re good enough to win every hand against them.
The main drawback to playing Sabacc for money is that theprofit-to-time ratio isn’t great.If you enjoy playing Sabacc, that’s one thing, but if you’re trying to actually build up a bankroll quickly you might want to try another method.
Recover Arrest Credits
If you’re defeated whilewanted by the Empire, you’ll lose a percentage of your credits. These credits can be recovered if you’re willing to risk another encounter byinfiltrating any Imperial Terminal.
Most terminals have a side door that can be opened using the Data Spike. As long as you aren’t currently wanted, security should be tight, but thenumber of guards increases quicklythe more trouble you’ve caused for the Empire lately.
Inside the terminal,slice the data portto recover your lost “Arrest Credits.” If you haven’t been arrested recently, you’re able to still get 100 credits, making a quick in-and-out heist worth it if an opportunity presents itself.
Open Vaults
Every syndicate that has territory within a major cityalso has a locked vault within their district.These vaults are guarded, and they won’t let you in even if you have a good reputation, but there’s always a vent or back door by which you can sneak in.
These vaults requirethree keycards to open, and the locations of those cards can be found byslicing the computer terminalnear the vault door. If you return with all three in hand, you’ll be rewarded with a coolfive thousand creditsand some extra goodies, making it well worth the effort.
Complete Jobs From Syndicates
The larger criminal organizations in the galaxy are where the money is in the Underworld, so by playing nice with them, you can get a piece of the pie. Once Contract Brokers are unlocked, you canaccept side missionsthat typically pay out several hundred credits and offerextra Reputation with the faction offering the job.
Many jobs have extra complications - you might risk losing Reputation with another syndicate, for example, or a job can only be attempted once - and these jobs tend to pay the most if completed successfully. It’s a good idea tofulfill as many contracts as you possibly can; not only will it keep your wallet full, but it will potentially unlock more oppurtinities down the road as your Reputation with each faction increases.
