You’ll need to start The Slicer questline to get a Slicing Kit in Star Wars Outlaws, which will introduce you to one of your firstStar Wars Outlaws Expertswith the Underworld Rumors Intel.This is automatically revealed after you finish the “New Tricks” main story mission, the fourth main mission inStar Wars Outlawswhere Kay upgrades her blaster. You’ll unlock the Trailblazer’s Delivery Crate around the same time, letting you get yourStar Wars Outlaws Ultimate Edition outfits.

Once you have Underworld Rumors intel here’s how to pick up The Slicer Expert Intel and unlock a Slicing Kit:

With the Slicing Kit in Kay’s hands, you can now slice into other types of devices that aren’t just computers. You’ll also receive the “Advanced Slicing Practice” Intel, which leads you to a door control panel in the derelict Kerro’s Speakeasy, opposite Makal’s. You can now bring down the barrier in the speakeasy using the Slicing Kit, letting you loot a bandit mask trophy for your speeder.

To make slicing even easier, you’ll want to focus on unlocking the Slice Kit Upgrade under the Slicer’s abilities. It requires a special Code Breaker Chip but unlocks Jokers for your Slicing Kit. These limited-use perks can be activated when slicing to make the minigame much easier by, for example, giving you more chances to cleanly slice or removing an unused incorrect symbol to narrow down your options. Other Experts throughout the game offer further upgrades for the Slicing kit, making hacking easier.© GamesRadar+. Not to be reproduced without permission.
