What is Star Wars Outlaws?

First off, Outlaws is a first-person shooter set in the Wild West, made by LucasArts. You'll be blasting your way through levels using a variety of weapons: revolvers, rifles, shotguns, dynamite, and even good ol' knives and fists. There's a main story campaign, some cool historical missions for bounty hunting, and of course, multiplayer. The game's got a really unique look thanks to its cell-animated cutscenes, and the engine can handle some massive levels. Even though enemies are 2D sprites, the game has some awesome physics. Shoot a guy off a ledge, and he might tumble down and hit the rocks before landing in the river. Get blasted by a shotgun, and you'll get knocked back! You can even use dynamite for some explosive fun, or go stealthy, throwing knives or punching enemies to grab their gear.

The single-player campaign follows ex-Marshal James Anderson, who's trying to live a quiet life but gets pulled back into action. Then there are the

Part 3

Dive into the essential prequel novel, Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moon. Learn about ND-5 and Jaylen Vrax's journey into the underworld before the game.

Hey there! So, you're diving into the world of Star Wars Outlaws and want to know more about the story leading up to it? Awesome! This guide is all about the novel *Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moon*. Think of it as the ultimate backstory before you even boot up the game. This novel, written by Mike Chen and published by Random House Worlds on February 3, 2026, is a clutch prequel to the 2024 video game *Star Wars Outlaws*. It really fleshes out the characters ND-5 and Jaylen Vrax, giving you a deeper understanding of their past. Publisher's Summary: The story kicks off with Jaylen Barsha, who had his life all planned out. But then, bam! The Empire comes crashing down on his family with conspiracy charges. Before he can even reach his half-brother Sliro for help, a battle droid shows up at his family compound with one mission: wipe out the entire Barsha clan. Jaylen survives, but he has to reprogram the droid to stay alive. From then on, he's not Jaylen Barsha anymore; he's Jaylen Vrax. Meanwhile, ND-5, a former Separatist battle droid, is basically looking for purpose after the war. Loyalty is hardwired into him, and Jaylen, who treats him like more than just a weapon, has earned it. ND-5 thinks maybe, just maybe, he can be more than just a soldier with a partner like Jaylen. With the mystery of who targeted the Barsha clan still hanging over them, Jaylen and ND-5 disappear into the underworld. They start building a name for themselves among scoundrels and crime syndicates. But when a score gives them their first real clue about who sent ND-5 after Jaylen's family, they face a tough choice: go for the wealth and power Jaylen was denied, or chase down the answers that could change everything. It's a real test of their unlikely partnership. Development: This novel was first announced on July 25, 2025, at the San Diego Comic-Con. Mike Chen got the idea for *Low Red Moon* while writing a Marvel Comics novel. His editor suggested he write from the perspective of a droid, which led to ND-5 becoming a protagonist. Chen believes *Low Red Moon* is the first novel to feature a droid as a main character, and he and his editors put a lot of effort into establishing lore around droid consciousness. So, if you're looking to get the full *Star Wars Outlaws* experience, definitely check out *Low Red Moon*. It'll give you a much richer understanding of the characters and the galaxy you're about to explore!

Part 4

Navigate the challenging Part 4 of Star Wars Outlaws! Get expert tips and walkthroughs for Slim's Hideout, Sanctuary, Train, River Basin, Sawmill, The Fort, Iron Mine, The Cliffs, and Bob Graham's Ranch.

Alright, time to dig into Part 4 of Star Wars Outlaws. This section is all about refining your combat skills and understanding how to approach different situations. We'll cover some general combat tips first, then break down the hints for each major area you'll be tackling.

Combat Tips:

  • SNIPE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE: If you've got that scoped rifle, use it! Pick off enemies from a distance. Aim for the head, and remember that bullet drop means you might hit the torso if you aim correctly. For super long shots, you'll need to aim a bit higher to compensate for the bullet's trajectory.
  • USE THOSE DYNAMITES!: Don't forget about your dynamite. They're like powerful grenades, perfect for flushing out enemies from corners or rooms you can't easily access without exposing yourself. They have a limited throw range, so they're ideal for clearing out enclosed spaces. You can also try to get enemies to chase you, drop a dynamite, and then run for cover.
  • LISTEN FOR BULLET HITS: If you hear shots whizzing by, don't just stand there! Duck into cover, figure out where the fire is coming from, and then use your scoped rifle or other weapons to return fire.
  • WATCH FOR HIGH LEDGES: Enemy snipers love to set up on high ledges, sometimes even behind you. Always be aware of enemies positioned above or behind you when you enter a new area.
  • DON'T WALK INTO THE MIDDLE OF A ROOM!: Unless you're absolutely certain it's clear, avoid walking straight into the center of a room, especially those with multiple levels or ledges. Stick close to the walls for cover.
  • LOCKED DOORS NEED KEYS OR ALTERNATE ENTRANCES: If a door requires a specific key, make a note of it and explore elsewhere. You might find the key later. If a door is
