All Experts in Star Wars Outlaws and where to find them

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.

How learning new skills works

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.

All Expert locations

There are nine Experts to find in Star Wars Outlaws, but you start with the first one, Bram, automatically unlocked.

Selo Rovak location — Toshara

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.

The infamous slicer Expert won’t meet you themselves until you do a job for them, but you can find their contact deep in the Crimson Dawn territory shown above. If you have a bad reputation with them, you will need to sneak in to talk to them and start their quest.

Rooster location — Kijimi

She has a strange name, but Rooster is a master with heavy weapons. To get her to help you out, though, you will need to do a mission out in space, so make sure your ship is upgraded.

Quint location — Tatooine

As soon as you are free to roam the galaxy, head over to Tatooine and reach Mos Eisley so you can find the gunslinger to learn how to really handle your blaster.

Teeka location — Tatooine

The Jawa who can help upgrade your Trailblazer ship is deep in the Dune Sea, but you start the quest to find them in Mos Eisley after completing the main story missions on the planet.

Lando location — Akiva

The infamous Lando himself shows up to help Kay learn some tips and tricks for Sabacc. You can find him after you talk to the bartender to get some intel.

Wexley location — Akiva

Even though we already have Selo, Wexley offers a new set of Speeder abilities after you’ve gone through most of the main story missions.

MT-7 location — Akiva

Technically you find MT-7 on Akiva, but you can only find them by collecting four transmissions in your ship around various planets. They give some powerful combat and general buffing abilities.

Star Wars Outlaws invites you to get engrossed in not one, but many worlds. While it does share a lot of commonalities with other Ubisoft titles, specifically the best open-world games, it does break the mold in some appealing ways. Playing as a non-Force sensitive rogue named Kay, you will dive deep into the criminal underbelly of smugglers, rogues, and mercenaries all across the galaxy.

While it remains to be seen if it will be one of the best Star Wars games, we do know it has a very appealing list of Trophies and Achievements. Those who like to 100% games tend to shy away from Ubisoft games as of late for the sheer bloat of them, but Star Wars Outlaws might be more manageable. If you want to know what types of challenges await on your path to the Platinum, here are all the Trophies and Achievements in Star Wars Outlaws.

Kay Vass joined by her small alien companion called Nix in a futuristic city.

It's strange to think that of all the best Star Wars games, not one has been a true open-world experience. Ubisoft is looking to fix that with Star Wars Outlaws, which is among the most anticipated upcoming games of 2024. Taking place between episodes 4 and 5 of the original trilogy, we will explore a new side of the galaxy far, far away through the eyes of Kay Vess and her little alien buddy, Nix. Combining stealth, shooting, space combat, and more, Star Wars Outlaws is looking like a breath of fresh air for a franchise that can't seem to break away from the Force and lightsabers. But before you hop on your speeder and pull out your blaster, let's plan out this heist by telling you all about the preload options, file size, and preorders for Star Wars Outlaws.
Star Wars Outlaws release time

Star Wars Outlaws will be released on August 30, but the specific time has not been revealed just yet. We assume it will be midnight ET, but will update you once the times have been confirmed.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor finally coming to PS4 and Xbox One in September

EA and Respawn Entertainment have revealed that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will come out on September 17. That means players who only own last-gen consoles will be able to try out this excellent action-adventure game that was previously exclusive to PC and current-gen consoles.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a sequel to 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and continues the story of Cal Kestis, who stumbles upon a new threat connected to the universe's High Republic era. I gave the game a four-star review when it launched in April 2023, writing that "Star Wars Jedi: Survivor still tells a thematically rich, character-driven Jedi tale in one of the most densely packed 3D Metroidvania games I’ve ever played. It’s now the definitive single-player Star Wars experience."
