How to Upgrade the Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws

How to Upgrade the Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws

As a seasoned space explorer with years of galactic adventures under my belt, I must say that these upgrade options for your speeder are nothing short of astounding! From boosting its engine power to enhancing its handling and armor, every single modification caters to a different aspect of space travel.


In the game Star Wars Outlaws, Kay Vess primarily uses her reliable vehicle to navigate through the open-world environments. Over the course of playing this game, you’ll eventually come across various upgrades for your vehicle. These upgrades can introduce entirely new features such as Speed Boost and Jump, while also offering minor enhancements to the vehicle’s individual components. This guide will provide a comprehensive list of all the available vehicle upgrades in Star Wars Outlaws and demonstrate where players should go to install them.

How to Upgrade Kay’s Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws

In Star Wars Outlaws, there are two primary types of speeders enhancements. The first group focuses on mechanical modifications to the speeder. These improvements usually become available during significant plot points and get automatically unlocked once Kay finishes or achieves the necessary mission.

In simpler terms, the second group pertains to fundamental mechanical enhancements, which directly impact the functioning of each speed-vehicle, including its engine and frame. These improvements are player-driven, meaning Kay must gather specific items or components to trigger them. Each system within the speed-vehicle that can be upgraded will have multiple levels, with higher tiers requiring progressively scarce parts to access.

Special Upgrades:

Kay can unlock the following special speeder upgrades:

  • Speed Boost: The Diffuse-Ion Accelerator allows for a quick burst of speed.
  • Jump Boost: The Repulsion Blast Coil enables the Boost Jump ability.
  • Hydrorepulsor: The Speeder Surface Repulsor allows the speeder to drive over deep water.

Basic Upgrades:

There are four categories of basic upgrades Kay can make to her speeder:

  • Engine
  • Handling
  • Armor
  • Landing Repulsor

Where to Upgrade Kay’s Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws:

In the game’s world, you’ll encounter speeders mechanics scattered across different regions. Each region will have at least one of these mechanics enabling speeders travel, except for Kijimi. These mechanics are easily identifiable as they are marked on the map with a symbol that combines a speeder and a wrench.

On Toshara, Selo Rovik, an accomplished mechanic, can be found offering services as a speeder mechanic once you’ve finished the relevant quest series.

The enhancement called “Speed Boost” in the game “Star Wars Outlaws” is among Selo Rovik’s set of skills. You can access these skills once you have completed the Expert mission named “The Mechanic“. Just like other Experts, upon completion of their respective quest, Selo will naturally unlock one ability, and in his case, this first ability is the Speed Boost.

In the SWO’s Toshara segment, upon finishing the “New Tricks” mission earlier, you’ll gain access to “The Mechanic.” This character, alongside the Slicer, is one of the initial Experts that Kay can unlock.

Speed Boost Upgrades:

  • Once Kay unlocks the Speed Boost, she can upgrade the ability twice using the speeder mechanic. The first upgrade increases the top speed of the boost, and the second upgrade increases top speed and reduces cooldown.

How to Unlock Jump for Kay’s Speeder

The Jump Boost skill is one that character Kay can acquire from The Mechanic, unlike the Speed Boost which is automatically available. To activate the Jump Boost, Kay must first accomplish a specific task before it becomes accessible. Once activated, by holding down A/X, Kay can leap off flat ground using the speeder.

Jump Boost
  • Perform a 60-meter-long jump without being ejected.
  • To complete this task, look for the large ramps found around Toshara’s open-world section. Make sure Kay has a clear landing area, and she should complete this task with relative ease.

Jump Boost Upgrades:

  • Once Kay unlocks the Jump Boost ability, it can be upgraded once at a speeder mechanic. This upgrade will increase the height of the jump.

How to Unlock the Hydrorepulsor for Kay’s Speeder

As a gamer, I discovered that the Hydrorepulsor is my secret weapon for traversing Akiva’s deep rivers and lakes. To get this water-driving ability, I had to stick with Akiva’s main questline, “The Droidsmith,” until Gedeek hinted at the need for a water-crossing skill. Once that clue dropped, it was time to start ‘The Scavenger,’ Temmin Wexely’s Expert questline. Just like Speed Boost, Hydrorepulsor is the initial ability in Wexely’s arsenal, so once I completed his quest, it unlocked automatically.

  • The Hydrorepulsor has no upgrades.
