Here is how to upgrade your ship in Star Wars Outlaws and the best upgrades to prioritise
Looking for the best Trailblazer upgrades in Star Wars Outlaws?The Trailblazer is Kay Vess’s trusty ship, navigating her across the galaxy inStar Wars Outlaws. Although, it requires a fair few upgrades before it’s in fighting shape.
If you’ve just unlocked the upgrade menu and are a bit lost or you’re wondering how to even access the upgrades, we have you covered. Below is an explainer of how to unlock Trailblazer upgrades along with a list of the best upgrades to prioritise first in your playthrough.
How to upgrade the Trailblazer
There are various upgrades for the Trailblazer that affect things like speed, missiles, durability and capacity. These all require Credits and specific upgrade materials that you can gather as you complete various jobs inStar Wars Outlaws(or from bartering with syndicate merchants if you have a good reputation with them).
To see how far you are progressing towards an upgrade, navigate to the ‘Vehicles’ tab from the main menu and select the Trailblazer. Once you have enough materials to perform an upgrade,you must visit a ship mechanicto install them. There is usually a ship mechanic in every major city, represented by a ship and spanner icon on the map.
There is one such mechanic near the docking bay in Mirogana and another near the landing pad in Jaunta’s Hope.
The upgrade menu will only become available once you progress through the main story enough to have completed the ‘Underworld’ quest and have gathered the fuel injectors Waka needs to repair the ship.
Complete the following ‘New Tricks’ mission from Danka and you’ll get the chance to take the Trailblazer into space. Unfortunately, it takes a bit more work into the main story to get to true galactic travel.
The best Trailblazer upgrades in Star Wars Outlaws to prioritise first are:
The main Trailblazer upgrade types to familiarise yourself with are weaponry, defence, propulsion and passive systems. Of these, theH-RD Duralloy Hullis pretty much a must-have. This is mostly due to its auto-repair function that can help you keep the ship intact automatically in combat without you having to juggle systems.
As you traverse space there will be plenty of pirates, opposing syndicate thugs and imperial troops that will pick a fight with the Trailblazer. As such, you’ll want to also kit the ship out with advanced weaponry like theC-K10A Rapid Fire Cannonthat fires at multiple targets at once.
Similar to the previous upgrade, theC-10 Plasburst Cannonis a fantastic offensive option if you’re tired of being bombarded by pirates in space. This upgrade equips the ship with the ability to deal a charged shot at foes for increased damage.
If you need help getting specialised parts for ship upgrades, look to the ‘Faction Stock’ section within any merchant’s menu. To shop from this contraband inventory, you’ll need to pick up contracts from syndicates and build a good reputation with them. You can also visit theblack market in Miroganafor occasional ship parts or raid imperial and syndicate bases.
