While playingStar Wars Outlaws,many players will be pleasantly surprised to find just how much care and detail went into creating the game world. Aside from the set pieces thatStar Warsis known for, the developers at Massive also included some thoughtfulmetroidvania elementsthat provide a perfect reason to return to previously visited areas. One of the first of these elements to be revealed is themoss-covered rock walls.
InStar Wars Outlaws,thedestructible rock wallsare found in multiple regions, and hide everything from simple crafting items, to important side-quest content. Aside from the fact that they exist and can be destroyed,SWOdoesn’t offer much information, especially early-on. This guide will explainhow to destroy rock walls inStar Wars Outlaws,and exactly when this can be accomplished.
How to Destroy Rocks in Star Wars Outlaws
Special items inStar Wars Outlawsare generally received in one of two ways:
There are a fewToolsthat are found throughout the story, like theFusioncutterandHolotracker.These will be unlocked automatically as you play through the main story.
The Power Module for Kay’s Blaster
In this case,destroying the moss-covered rocks inStar Wars Outlawsis accomplished with a Blaster module. Specifically, it is thePower Modulethat allows Kay to shoot an explosive bolt. This is great for heavy enemies in combat, but its most important use for exploration is its ability to destroy rock walls.
How to Unlock the Power Module for Kay’s Blaster
First, it is important to note that this module is not found in any location, so it cannot simply be acquired by visiting the correct place. Instead, this module isgiven to Kay Vess by ND-5. This takes place after a specific story beat, as the Power module must be used in a quest that follows.
Complete the ‘Safecracker’ Mission:
To get in the position to unlock the Power Module, you’ll need to head to Kijimi and begin the “Safecracker” questline. You’ll find yourself embroiled in a political intrigue between the Queen of the Ashiga clan, and her daughter Krisk, who is allied with Crimson Dawn. In the middle of this situation, Kay arrives to recruit Ank, the Safecracker Jaylen recommended.
Completing the first mission in the questline will result in Kay having to make a tough decision: stay and help Ank, or, look for a different safe cracker. This sets up the mission ‘Breakout,’ which is where you’ll need to get to in order to get the Power Module. After ‘Safecracker,’ ND-5 will call Kay, asking her to return to the ship. This begins the small quest “Gunsmith.”
Visit ND-5 on the Trailblazer:
When you return to the ship, ND-5 will engage with Kay, giving her thePower Capacitor,the item to unlock the newPower module for her blaster. Using the workbench will reveal that you’ve unlocked the Power module’s first function,Bolt. Complete this section to complete “Gunsmith.”
With the Power module installed, you can now return to all those moss-covered rocks on Toshara, destroy them, and see what’s waiting for you.
