Star Wars Outlaws – how to reduce your Wanted level

The more Outlawing you do in Ubisoft’s latest Star Wars game, the more the authorities are going to want to put a stop to it. The Empire isn’t exactly known for going easy on Rebel Scum ™ so it is best to try and keep under its radar as much as you can.

With that said, this is Star Wars: Outlaws, so sooner or later you are going to pick up a level of notoriety that is going to become a real hindrance. How do you get rid of it and come over all Goody-Two-Shoes once more? Let’s find out.

Having the Empire on your case can be more than a little annoying. Like most games getting yourself “Wanted” involves being largely stupid enough to commit heinous acts in front of the Feds – in this case Stormtroopers and the like.

Lower Wanted levels in games are largely an annoyance and require you to keep out of the way and slow yourself down, maybe sneak around a bit more until it drops off. Games have used this unrealistic mechanic for time eternal and it’s no different here. Just hang out somewhere safe until you are in the clear.

How doing nothing in a game was ever deemed a good thing to get a player to do is anyone’s guess.

If you don’t want to hang around and you are in a city you could try and hunt down a corrupt office who will wipe your slate clean for a few Credits. Seems not all of the Empire cares about the rules.

If you find yourself undesirable to the law while up in space you need to hunt out a Terminal Satellite. These are basically the same idea as the ones planetside, except here, you only need to approach them and you can clear your Wanted level. Note, however, that you can’t do this if you are in combat.

The max level of naughtiness you can achieve is Level 6. By that point, we have gone well beyond the naughty step and you are going to be coming up against checkpoints aplenty as they try to hunt you down.

By this point, the best way to lower your unpopularity is to find an Imperial Terminal, and hack into it using the mini-game (I wonder if every time my details are leaked by some company or other, all it took the hackers was the completion of a tedious minigame?) and from there you can delete your criminal record.
