The best abilities in Star Wars Outlaws

While Kay Vess is no amateur when you begin Star Wars Outlaws, she’s far from a pro. She is a decent shot, can hack basic computers, and even pick locks, but she’s not much more complicated than that. Unlike a traditional open-world game — especially a Ubisoft one — you won’t find any skill trees or XP bars here. Instead, Kay can only pick up new abilities by meeting special Experts. These NPCs are scattered across the various planets and need to be found and befriended before you can start working on unlocking new skills. It’s a long process no matter how you approach it, so we’re here to pass along the vital info you need on the best skills in Star Wars Outlaws.

The first Ability you should aim for is Armored Undershirt, which you can start on right away since it is part of Bram’s set. This Ability is a passive buff that increases your default HP by 1, which is incredibly valuable at the start of the game when you only have three. Hunt down or purchase Ironweave and 8 Coarsweave on Toshara to snag it.

Also part of Bram’s set, Fast Talk can save your bacon on one of the many required stealth missions. If you get caught by a single trooper, you can press a button to start rambling and delay them from attacking or alerting others. This can give you time to stun or take them down and not lose your stealth status. You can easily grab this one by having Nix distract three enemies that you take down, and taking down five additional enemies with melee.

Scoundrel’s Pouch/Outlaw’s Pouch

You wouldn’t expect the Expert on Speeders to have two abilities related to your Bacta Viales and grenades, but here we are. The former are your only source of healing, and we assume you know what grenades do, but Kay can hardly hold any of each. Scoundrel’s Pouch lets you hold one more vial and grenade, and Outlaw’s Pouch adds another on top of that. These both require materials, specifically Durafiber Fabric, eight Coarsweave, and four Robuma Leather for the
