Route 01 Walkthrough
Star Wars Outlaws / Opening Route
Opening walkthrough for Star Wars Outlaws. Choose your platform first, read the matching console notes, then follow the universal route steps for Kay Voss, Nix, and the syndicate reputation read.
Choose Your Platform First
Star Wars Outlaws is on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. Pick your console below to jump to the matching route lane, then read universal route guidance in the step section.
How to Use This Guide
Select your platform first, read that console lane for controls and prompt status, then follow the universal route steps. Use the Route Map to track your position through the five stops, the step cards to plan each move, and the Route Checklist in the sidebar to confirm key beats before you leave the route.
Where exact location names, faction details, and reward specifics are still being gathered, the guide marks them clearly in the Details Still Being Filled In section at the bottom. Route steps cover approach logic — not invented mission outcomes. Check that section before using this guide in a decision-critical situation.

- —Open the Contracts Tracker to log syndicate standing changes as they appear in your run
- —Plan to note any optional side paths you encounter — route branches in the opening area may affect later contract access

Route Walkthrough
These steps are universal route guidance for Route 01. They apply across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2 unless your platform lane above calls out a difference. Button prompts and exact control labels are being verified separately for each console.
Establish Your Entry Point
- Follow the opening route to anchor Kay Voss's position in the first area.
- Check the regional heat level before moving off the starting path — the wanted system is active from the start.
- Locate your first objective marker and plan a low-heat approach before committing.
Introduce Nix
- Follow the prompt sequence to introduce and use your Nix companion for the first time.
- Test Nix's distract or scout function in the opening space — this is your primary low-heat tool for tight areas.
- Note which actions the game flags as reputation-affecting before using them.
Read the Reputation System
- Open the syndicate or reputation panel when the game first surfaces it.
- Identify which faction controls the starting region — their standing will affect your access and available contracts.
- Avoid high-heat actions until you understand the local faction balance.
Move Toward the First Objective
- Follow the objective marker through the first controlled area, staying on the low-heat path.
- Use stealth movement to avoid raising the wanted level before reaching the objective area.
- Record any side paths encountered — optional branches in early routes often gate syndicate contracts later.
Clear or Stage the Route Exit
- Resolve the primary objective requirement before looking for the route exit.
- When the objective requirement is satisfied, the route transition is presented by the game — look for the exit prompt or mission screen.
- Check current syndicate standing before transitioning to the next route — reputation carries forward.
