Star Wars Outlaws: Tips and Tricks

Stealth is helpful and sometimes required - take advantage of the areas' open structure to quietly dispatch enemy patrols. Some tasks will force you to remain unnoticed.
Be careful about choices and actions that may worsen your relations with factions - take care of your relations with criminal syndicates. Raising your relationship with them enough will grant you rewards, while dropping them may endanger you.
Avoid fall damage - Kay is rather prone to taking fall damage. Be careful while climbing to avoid unnecessary harm.
If you can't find an exit, look for a grapple point - it's easy to overlook spots you can use your grappling hook at. Look around, especially looking up.
Increase your bacta vials capacity - try to increase your healing vial carrying capacity as soon as possible.
Practice the lockpicking mini-game - take your time when picking locks. Listen to the cycle a few times until you figure out the beat.
Complete expert challenges while playing - remember to complete expert challenges, as many can be completed while doing other things.
Exploration-related question marks only appear on the compass - keep a lookout on the question marks appearing on your compass at the top of the screen.
Scan your surroundings and look for interactive objects for Nix to use - you should occasionally activate Nix Sense so you don't miss potentially important interactive objects.
Look for opportunities to discover Data in cities - interact with NPCs and items. Many hide potentially interesting information.
Don't rush with making purchases - before you start making especially large purchases, take the time to increase your relations with the trader's faction.
