How to upgrade the Trailblazer

There are various upgrades for the Trailblazer that affect things like speed, missiles, durability and capacity. These all require Credits and specific upgrade materials that you can gather as you complete various jobs inStar Wars Outlaws(or from bartering with syndicate merchants if you have a good reputation with them).

There is one such mechanic near the docking bay in Mirogana and another near the landing pad in Jaunta’s Hope.

The upgrade menu will only become available once you progress through the main story enough to have completed the ‘Underworld’ quest and have gathered the fuel injectors Waka needs to repair the ship.

Complete the following ‘New Tricks’ mission from Danka and you’ll get the chance to take the Trailblazer into space. Unfortunately, it takes a bit more work into the main story to get to true galactic travel.

The best Trailblazer upgrades in Star Wars Outlaws to prioritise first are:

H-RD Duralloy Hull

The main Trailblazer upgrade types to familiarise yourself with are weaponry, defence, propulsion and passive systems. Of these, theH-RD Duralloy Hullis pretty much a must-have. This is mostly due to its auto-repair function that can help you keep the ship intact automatically in combat without you having to juggle systems.

C-K10A Rapid Fire Cannon

As you traverse space there will be plenty of pirates, opposing syndicate thugs and imperial troops that will pick a fight with the Trailblazer. As such, you’ll want to also kit the ship out with advanced weaponry like theC-K10A Rapid Fire Cannonthat fires at multiple targets at once.

C-10 Plasburst Cannon

If you need help getting specialised parts for ship upgrades, look to the ‘Faction Stock’ section within any merchant’s menu. To shop from this contraband inventory, you’ll need to pick up contracts from syndicates and build a good reputation with them. You can also visit theblack market in Miroganafor occasional ship parts or raid imperial and syndicate bases.
