Star Wars Outlaws: How to Take Off and Unlock Space Travel
In Star Wars Outlaws, exploring the vast galaxy is a key part of the adventure. Players can travel between planets and space stations using their trusty ship, the Trailblazer.
However, taking off isn’t always straightforward, and there are certain requirements and restrictions to keep in mind. This guide will walk you through the process of taking off, unlocking space exploration, and navigating the occasional limitations you might encounter.
How to Take Off in Star Wars Outlaws
Taking off in Star Wars Outlaws is a simple process once you know the steps. Here’s how to get your ship airborne and venture into space:
- Locate your ship, the Trailblazer
- Approach the ship and enter it
- Sit in the cockpit
- Press the designated button to initiate the takeoff
- For console players: Press the B button (Xbox) or Circle button (PlayStation)
- For PC players: Press the Space Bar
Once you’ve completed these steps, you’ll be prompted to choose your destination. Select where you want to go, and your journey through space will begin.
How to Unlock Space Travel in Star Wars Outlaws?
While taking off might seem straightforward, you won’t have access to space travel immediately when you start the game. Space exploration is a feature that needs to be unlocked through story progression.
Space exploration becomes available during the “False Flag” main quest. This mission is a crucial turning point in the game, as it introduces players to the mechanics of interplanetary travel. To unlock space exploration:
- Progress through the main storyline until you reach the “False Flag” quest
- Complete the objective of handing over fuel injectors to a character named Waka
- Board the Trailblazer
- Follow any additional on-screen prompts to finalize the unlocking process
Once you’ve completed these steps, the galaxy will open up to you, allowing for free exploration between various planets and space stations.
During certain main quests, the game may prevent you from leaving a planet or space station. This is usually to ensure that you complete critical story elements before moving on. Some examples include:
- When first landing on Kijimi: You must enter Kijimi City before being allowed to leave
- During the “Gunsmith” quest: Complete the mission objectives before departing
- After the “Partners” quest: You’ll need to complete “Jabba’s Favor” before taking off
If you find yourself unable to take off, check your current main quest objectives. Completing the active mission will often lift the restriction and allow you to resume space travel.
