Star Wars Outlaws weapons and blaster upgrades make the difference in a fight, but might not work the way you think. Kay Vess' pistol is sturdy in a fight but, as a rule, the best weapons in Outlaws are temporary pickups you can grab from fallen enemies.
It’s worth understanding how weapons work, how you can get upgrades and modifications for your blaster, and even how you unlock the best weapons that aren’t initially available when you start. If you want to know where to get the best weapons in Star Wars Outlaws - and how to make your blaster into one of them with upgrades - here’s how it works.
All Star Wars Outlaws weapons
Besides Kay’s blaster, there are14different weapons in Star Wars Outlaws that can be obtained as temporary pickups:
Star Wars Outlaws outfits and armorStar Wars Outlaws Rehidden Stash and Waterfall StashWhich planet to visit first in Star Wars Outlaws?
All of these weapons can be dropped by certain enemies, or found on weapon racks in camps and bases. However, not all of them can be used straight way - weapons marked above with"CITT"can only be used once Kay finds theStar Wars Outlaws Mercenary Expertand unlocks the"Can I Try That?“ability.
However, inStar Wars Outlaws, with the exception of the blaster,players cannot keep the weapons they find.Once they run out of ammo they’re done. You also cannot interact with things without dropping them, or bring these weapons onto Speeder bikes, so while Kay can learnhow to shoot on a Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws, she can only do so with her own blaster.
These are the three main modifications to Kay’s Blaster in Star Wars Outlaws:
All three modifications are unlocked by progressing through the main story, and have upgrade trees unlocked the same way.Unlocking some upgrades and enhancing modifications once you have them will require spending resources at your workbench in the Trailblazer.
The best weapon in Star Wars Outlaws is the Z-6 Rotary Cannon.This Imperial gatling gun has a lot of ammunition, a built-in shield and, while not too effective at range, it utterly shreds opponents who get too close. It’s a perfect weapons to survive with when yourStar Wars Outlaws Wanted levelis maxed out.
For Kay’s Blaster, the best modification is theBolt Pulse,the third of the three modifications for the final form of Kay’s blaster. It allows for the Bolt to be charged, but doesn’t have to be (unlike the standard form), granting the player much more versatility in combat.
