Unlike most other Ubisoft games, or even most RPGs for that matter, you don’t level up and unlock skills as you would expect to in Star Wars Outlaws. You won’t earn any points or find a skill tree waiting for you here, but rather the new Experts system. As you explore the galaxy and meet new people while hunting for treasures, you will encounter special characters called Experts who are willing to help Kay expand her skills. Well, once you find and help them out, that is. Without their help, you’re stuck with your basic abilities for the whole game, so taking a break from your main quest to find them is well worth your time. The galaxy is a big place, so we’ll tell you where to find each of the Experts in Star Wars Outlaws.
As we mentioned, you won’t find yourself leveling up after completing missions or dispatching enemies. The only way to learn any new skills is through finding an Expert.
Once you’ve found an expert, you will need to complete a quest for them for one reason or another before they’ll be willing to help you out. Once you do so, a set of skills will now open up for you. But you don’t just get these skills right away. Each one has a few requirements you need to complete before you can get them, such as performing stealth takedowns, finding crates, using Nix abilities, or some other action related to the new skill you will get.
Once you’ve met all the requirements, you can open the menu and unlock the skill to keep it for good.
There are nine Experts to find in Star Wars Outlaws, but you start with the first one, Bram, automatically unlocked.
Selo, who will allow you to learn new skills for your Speeder, is off the grid. You can start tracking them down from the bar in Jaunta’s Hope which will take you to a settlement where a couple will give up the mechanic’s new location. Go there, do their request, and you can start learning new Speeder tricks.
