How to Unlock every Expert & Ability in Star Wars Outlaws

As an old-timer who’s spent countless hours navigating the treacherous waters of space, I can tell you that The Veteran is no ordinary Expert. This enigmatic figure has been lurking in the shadows all along, his existence shrouded in mystery until the moment when ND-5 finally deciphers the encrypted messages.

In the game “Star Wars Outlaws”, you’ll come across a diverse set of skills that are acquired by interacting with a unique set of non-player characters known as “Mentors”. As you progress through the story or explore the game world, you’ll meet some of these significant characters. By forging relationships with these Mentors, Kay will be able to access six abilities from each Mentor. This guide aims to help you find and unlock all the abilities of each Mentor, explaining when and how they can be discovered.

Guided by the intel, Kay must charm her way into the exclusive Sabacc room in Myrra. Lando will be participating in this game, and speaking to him will officially start “The High Roller” mission.

Just as many Expert missions require, Kay must carry out a series of tasks to activate Lando’s ability sequence.

MT-7 – The Veteran

The final Expert that players are likely to encounter is MT-7, also known as The Veteran. Unlike every other Expert, MT-7’s existence is essentially hidden from the players, as his space on the abilities menu has no question mark, and gives no hint that a ninth Expert exists. However, players may notice that, after collecting Encrypted Messages from the special containers in the game’s various space sections, ND-5 will mention that he’ll be able to decrypt the messages if we find more.

Players might discover that accumulating certain messages unlocks a fresh Expert intel chain in the menu. No directions are provided about where to go or what the outcome will be. As more transmissions and main story missions are accomplished, ND-5 eventually reveals he can decipher these messages. This leads to MT-7, secretly located on an obscure landing pad on Akiva. Finish his mission to unlock his skills.

With Kay now possessing The Veteran’s Decryption Module, it’s crucial to heed the instructions when ND-5 deciphers the coded messages. Upon completion of the quest, Kay will be rewarded with the complete Disruptor equipment suite, offering a distinctive collection of advantages.
