How to Upgrade Kay’s Blaster in Star Wars Outlaws

Players will gain the ability to upgrade Kay’s blaster after unlockingthe False Flag main story quest, after which, they’ll be able to upgrade the blaster by visitingthe workbench on the Trailblazer. There are three modules available (Plasma, Ion, and Power), each of which has two or three different configurations. With the exception of the Heavy configuration for the Plasma module, which is tied to one of the game’s experts, the materials needed for every new module and configuration are unlocked automatically simply by progressing through the main story

When it comes to upgrades, most of the materials that players need can be found scattered randomly throughout the Galaxy, although this isn’t always the case. Some can only be purchased from the exclusive stock section of syndicate-affiliate merchants, which requires Kay tohave a good or excellent reputation with the merchant’s faction. Players will need a unique key part to craft the final upgrade for each configuration, although these can be tracked fairly easily through the journal or the Requirement Details menu.
