There are a total of 9 Expertsin Star Wars Outlaws. Here are all Expert names, locations and the skills they offer once unlocked. We also have a walkthrough on how to find each expert below in a rough recommended order.

The Bartender location

Starting with an easy one, you’ll meet ‘The Bartender’ almost straight away when beginning Star Wars Outlaws.The Bartender is Bram, owner of the local barin Canto Bight, Cantonica.

Bram specialises inmelee skills. I recommend unlocking these as soon as possible in your playthrough. In particular, the ‘Fast-Talk’ skill can allow you to distract enemies for a short period of time when caught sneaking, earning you a chance to act before alarms are sounded. The ‘I Know Someone’ skill is also a great one to keep an eye on, and you can unlock it pretty quickly once you discover the world of Toshara.

This skill allows you to fulfil personal requests for merchants, earning you more credits and building your reputation as you go.

The Mechanic location

As with The Mechanic above, to start the quest to find The Slicer you must first make decent progress through the main questline. Once you complete the ‘Underworld’ and ‘New Tricks’ quests and gather the smugger’s cache for Danka near Jaunta’s Hope, she will tell you about the two Experts. To find the location of The Slicer you must follow these steps:

Now you’ll be able to unlock more of The Slicer’s skills such as smoke bombs, quieter running when sneaking, sneak shots and more. You’ll also be able to hack or ‘slice’ with devices without terminals now.

The Mercenary location

It’s worth recruiting The Mercenary for the ‘Loop Maneuver’ skill that allows better movement with the Trailblazer in space. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Ubisoft
