As you’ve probably heard, Ubisoft isn’t in a great spot at the moment. While it seems to be taking steps to dig itself out of the cycle of mediocrity it has spun for itself, recent comments from CEO Yves Guillemot make me unconvinced that the company knows what mediocrity is.

The comments in question came during the much-talked-about Ubisoft investors call. You know, the one where they said Star Wars Outlaws had “soft” sales, that Assassin’s Creed Shadows was being delayed, and plenty of other news you’ve probably read on the internet lately? I’m behind on this story, I know. It’s been a really long week. But one comment from Guillemot from that same call just recently caught my eye, and it’s one I think a lot of video game industry figures probably share. “In today’s challenging market, and with gamers expecting extraordinary experiences,” Guillemot said, “delivering solid quality is no longer enough.” Many people and outlets took this as a thinly veiled statement against unrealistic expectations from video game consumers, and there might have been some of that flavor bubbling under the surface for Guillemot. But mainly, I read it and thought to myself, “Have these people played Palworld?”

Ubisoft serves as a cautionary tale of a creative studio getting too big for its own good. After years of bland 100-hour sandboxes, the company is beginning to feel the goodwill it amassed in its early years start to run out, leading it to finally ask the important question: why?

Well, Star Wars Outlaws seems like a good place to start. Touted as the first open-world Star Wars game ever (debatable), its checklist of samey missions and activities was as massively inflated as its budget, and it seemed to mark a real turning point in Ubisoft’s perception as a game company. Critics and fans alike were lukewarm on the game, but far more importantly to the suits in charge, it failed to meet sales expectations. In response, Ubisoft has launched a massive internal review to find out what exactly is going wrong behind closed doors.

Star Wars Outlaws is another chapter in the vast Star Wars franchise that spans thousands of years. With the franchise constantly jumping around in time, it’s understandable if some fans are confused about when it takes place.

Here’s what you need to know about when Star Wars Outlaws takes place.

Some scoundrels robbed the Galactic Empire as a part of the Stolen Imperial Goods intel quest in Star Wars Outlaws and left the loot unattended. And who are you to say no to some stolen Imperial property?

You can start the intel quest by reading a data pad on one of the crates at the Sopashi Farm, north of the Typhon’s Rock landmark on Toshara. The data pad tells you about a group of smugglers who robbed an Imperial convoy and stashed away the loot.

Elastic Durafiber Fabric is one of the rare materials you need to unlock the Outlaw’s Puch ability. Unlike most materials, though, Elastic Durafiber Fabric intel doesn’t show any clues on where to find it.

The clue only says that the material can be found “throughout the galaxy,” so here’s how to get Elastic Durafiber Fabric in Star Wars Outlaws.

Star Wars Outlaws has plenty of skills for Kay Vess to unlock, but you need to find experts to do so. If you’re on the hunt for The Scavenger Temmin Wexley, we’ll tell you where to look.

Temmin Wexley in Star Wars Outlaws, also known as The Scavenger, is one of many experts Kay Vess encounters on her adventures. Experts aren’t just friendly faces; each can unlock new skills and boosts for Kay.

Star War Outlaws has plenty of puzzles to solve, and you need special tools in certain situations. If you’re struggling to progress because you need a Fusion Cutter, we’ll tell you how to get it.

The Fusion Cutter in Star Wars Outlaws is one of the tools available to Kay Vess to help her explore, alongside the Data Spike for lockpicking and the Slicing Kit to hack into terminals. However, the Fusion Cutter is something you have to wait longer for.

One of the most interesting aspects of Star Wars that Star Wars Outlaws dives headfirst into is its many rival criminal syndicates. You’ll have to choose which to work for and which to make enemies of, with valuable rewards on the line—but which one should you throw in with?

Star Wars Outlaws utilizes a reputation system, with most actions you can take affecting your standing with at least one of the galaxy’s enclaves of scum and villainy. Helping one faction will invariably anger another, meaning you cannot reap the benefits of being beloved by all four. That means your choice largely comes down to the rewards, with each faction offering different enticing goodies.

Kaslo’s Parlor is a location you can learn about in Star Wars Outlaws while working through the High-Stakes Showdown quest. You’ll receive this quest from Danka when she tells you about a backroom game of Sabaac happening in a cantina on Mirogana.

Although you are invited to Kaslo’s Parlor, the enforcer at the entrance won’t allow you to pass and get inside. After approaching the entrance, Kay decides she needs to find another way around to enter the high-stakes game. There won’t be too many options, and narrowing down the exact route can be difficult. Here’s what you need to know about how to get into Kaslo’s Parlor in Star Wars Outlaws.

One of the short early quests you can complete to make a few quick Credits in Star Wars Outlaws is the Crashed Speeder. You’re a scoundrel, after all, so destroyed and abandoned things sound like a perfect opportunity.

You can start this quest at the speeder bike shop in Mirogana on Toshara. Head inside the shop on the opposite side of the landing pad. On one of the crates, there’s a data pad with a message about a distress call coming from a crashed speeder somewhere on the planet, starting the quest.
