Given how inconvenient it is to be attacked on sight and navigate checkpoints as a wanted criminal, it’s best to find the nearest option to solve the problem. Assuming your planert side. check the map to see what’s around you and go for the closest officier/terminal/Death Trooper camp.

It’s worth noting that terminals can be found on any size Imperial outpost, so you can usually hoover up some loot while you’re there. And while Death Troopers are some of Outlaws' most powerful enemies, their camps usually have a plenty of credits, collectibles and rewards to make it worth the risk. Corrupt Officers on the other hand are the easiest method if you can’t just hide, with the counterpoint of it costingyoumoney, with no rewards to be had bar your freedom.

If yourStar Wars Outlaws faction reputationdrops low enough with a group, they’ll send hit squads after you, creating random combat encounters on land and in space. That usually involves groups of 3-6 enemies appearing on Speeders or in spaceships and attacking you.

If a faction wants to kill you like this, you’ll need to find brokers and take on any work you can get for that faction. The trouble is that being unliked means you can only get a poor quality of job, so it might take a while to work your way into their good books. It’s better to avoid falling that low in the first place and monitor your reputation - if you’re on shaky ground with anyone consider taking on some side work to boost your standing. It’s also worth keeping the data you can find and sell to factionsuntilyou need to gain some favor.

Keeping an eye on your faction level is especially important as there are regularly missions that will make you pick a side, with your standing rising and falling with each accordingly. TheStar Wars Outlaws Eleera or Gorakchoice you encounter early on is a perfect example here - you’ll see a massive raise in rep with whoever you choose, and an equal fall with whoever you don’t. These set ups happen a lot at the end of some quests and if you’re already in low standing the wrong choice can be disastrous.
