Here is how to upgrade your Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws and the best upgrades to prioritise
Looking for the best Speeder upgrades in Star Wars Outlaws?With several new planets to explore, the best way to travel inStar Wars Outlawsis by Speeder. The Speeder you first get via the main questline can be a bit tough to control at first, however, so you’ll need to know what the best Speeder upgrades are and how to get them.
Below we’ve gathered a list of the best Speeder upgrades to prioritise first along with a rundown of how to actually upgrade it in the game.
How to upgrade the Speeder
Like the Trailblazer, you can see all available Speeder upgrades and customise its appearance via the ‘Vehicles’ tab in theStar Wars Outlawsmain menu. These upgrades will cost a range of Credits as well as various material components which you can pick up across the worlds (in particular, within syndicate and imperial bases).
Once you have the required materials, you can get the upgrade fitted to your Speeder by visiting aSpeeder garage. These are indicated by the bike and spanner symbols on the map and can be found in most of the major cities in the game. The first you’re likely to encounter is the Speeder garage near thelanding dock in Miroganacity.
There may be rarer parts that you can only get by stealing from syndicate bases or by trading with syndicate merchants. You’ll only be able to buy their special stock if you have a good reputation with their associated syndicate, however, so make sure you’re taking contracts to improve your relationships.
You’ll unlock contract options once you get far enough into the main story to complete the ‘Underworld’, ‘New Tricks’ and ‘False Flag’ quests.
The best Speeder upgrades in Star Wars Outlaws to prioritise first are:
Perhaps you’re better at handling motors than me (an easy enough feat) but I found the Speeder to be quite difficult to grasp at first. The controls seem to veer widely to the left and right unless you have the deftest touch.
With that in mind, I recommend prioritising Speeder upgrades that improve the overall handling quality of the experience. TheCP-O Steering Systemincreases the maximum turn angle of the speeder but also increases the responsiveness of the Speeder’s turning when fully upgraded.
If, like me, you’re crashing into almost all the rocks and other bits of terrain also consider upgrading theDuralumin Chassisfor improved damage resistance. Even if you’re an expert driver, you’ll often be chased by pirates, thugs or imperials whilst traversing the worlds so a durable Speeder is a must.
Perhaps the most useful and fun upgrade is theRepulsion Blast Coil. This allows you to perform a jump ability on the Speeder and clear past small obstructions in the process. It’s worth picking up if you prefer to take shortcuts rather than travel along the main road to quest markers.
Besides base upgrades to the Speeder itself, you can also unlock Speeder-related skills that will improve your handling of the machine. To gain access to new Speeder skills like the jump or turbo speed boost, you need to discover ‘The Mechanic’ Expert.
We delve into the location of this Expert within ourExperts guidebut essentially, to get yourself on the right track and find the Expert, you need to complete the ‘Underworld’ and ‘New Tricks’ main quests. Then, you need to speak to Danka at the cantina in Jaunta’s Hope to gather the first round of intel leading to their location.
