In Star Wars Outlaws, your reputation with various syndicates is crucial. Building and maintaining good relations with these criminal factions will provide access to their districts, outposts, and vendors, along with special rewards. However, this task is complex, particularly when balancing actions that might upset one group or another. Here are strategies to enhance your reputation and maintain it at a favorable level.
Ways to Gain Syndicate Reputation
There are several methods to increase your reputation with syndicates in Star Wars Outlaws:
Make Quest Choices
Early in the game, you’ll be required to choose between giving information to either the Pykes or Crimson Dawn. As the game advances, more quests will offer similar choices. These decisions provide significant reputation boosts to the favored faction but may decrease it with the opposing one.
Complete Contracts
Once you complete enough quests, you will unlock contracts, which are jobs you can take for credits and reputation gains. You can accept and manage these contracts via a broker or cantina terminal, though you can only accept three at a time. Contracts are one of the best ways to gain reputation without risking a loss with another faction.
Give Syndicate Data to Vendors
Syndicate data can generally be found in either syndicate or Imperial bases. Delivering this data to a vendor associated with a syndicate grants bonus reputation. You can find these vendors by hovering over their markers on the map. Early on, consider grabbing syndicate data from locations like the Imperial forward base in the Southern Falls Region or inside the shuttle at the Crimson Dawn hideout south of Mirogana.
Random Events and Mini-Games
While exploring, you may encounter syndicate members in need of assistance. Helping them can yield a small reputation boost. Additionally, winning the Kessel Sabacc card game in a syndicate district offers a minor reputation bonus, though it is likely a one-time gain.
Maintaining Good Reputation
To maintain a good relationship with syndicates, it’s essential to avoid actions that can cause reputation loss:
- Stealing openly in syndicate territories. Steal sneakily or have Nix grab items for you.
- Killing syndicate members openly. Avoid public blaster confrontations; incapacitate guards discreetly.
- Trespassing in restricted areas. When discovered, this leads to gunfights and reputation loss. Sneak through these areas without raising alarms.
Adopting a stealthy playstyle will help you mitigate or avoid reputation loss while navigating through syndicate-controlled areas.
Conclusion
Managing your reputation with Star Wars Outlaws syndicates is essential for accessing exclusive rewards and faction-specific advantages. By carefully balancing your actions, completing contracts, and making strategic quest choices, you’ll secure steady relationships with these powerful factions.
