Star Wars Outlaws: Wild Card
In Star Wars Outlaws: Wild Card, Kay is hired to infiltrate a high-stakes Sabacc tournament. As she crosses paths with the notorious high roller Lando Calrissian, she soon learns that another game is being played. Players must complete the Gunsmith and The High Roller quest from the base game before the story pack can be played. Star Wars Outlaws: Wild Card will be automatically accessible and free to Star Wars Outlaws Season Pass owners or available for separate purchase for a suggested retail price of $14.99. With the release of Star Wars Outlaws: Wild Card, Season Pass owners also receive the Hunter's Legacy Bundle and Cartel Ronin Bundle with additional outfits for Kay and Nix, as well as cosmetics for Kay's speeder and her ship, the Trailblazer.
1.4 Update
As part of the team's dedicated support of the game, the latest TU 1.4.0 update brings with it a range of improvements, including:
- Notable updates to stealth and combat that allow players greater choice in how they approach each quest, including using stealth or reaching for their blaster, even in syndicate territories in cities.
- Enemy AI and detection improvements, with players being notified when they're being detected and can choose to escalate or change tactics to remain in stealth. Enemies will also now be more tactical as they use cover and seek better combat lines.
- Enemy weak points have been added to reward strategic gameplay, which if targeted can trigger explosions or give players a way to defeat enemies in spectacular new ways.
- Re-tuned Kay's blaster and pick up weapons to improve the combat experience, including being able to carry two-handed weapons in more situations, including using ladders or grapple points.
- Animations in dialogue scenes, the option to toggle off the cinematic lens, the visibility of distant lights, and much more have been added to improve the experience across the galaxy.
