All Star Wars Outlaws experts and the best abilities

As you progress through Star Wars Outlaws, acquaintances can teach you a thing or two about handling yourself by teaching you new abilities.

Teeka, a Jawa and one of the Star Wars Experts.

Who are all the Star Wars Outlaws experts? Star Wars Outlaws experts are just some of the characters you’ll meet on your journey across a galaxy far, far away. While you’ll make enemies along the way, experts are useful allies and can teach you handy new abilities to use in combat, stealth, and more.

You’ll meet some of these Star Wars Outlaws experts during main story quests, but others are found separately throughout the world. Their abilities are unlocked once you have completed their Expert Intel quests in the open-world game. Here, we list them all, where you can find them, and the best abilities to unlock.

The best Star Wars Outlaws abilities to unlock as soon as possible are:

  • Armored Undershirt
  • Survivor
  • Resilient
