Star Wars Outlaws is Ubisoft’s big swing at an open-world (open-ish, anyway) Star Wars game from the studio behind The Division. If you were among those who preordered Star Wars Outlaws or bought the game’s Gold or Ultimate editions, you’re granted a pile of extra goodies, but it can be confusing figuring out how, when, and where to claim all those bonuses. In this guide, we’ll detail how to find your Star Wars Outlaws bonuses, including the preorder bonus and several cosmetic sets that pay homage to icons in the Star Wars universe.
Star Wars Outlaws – How to find preorder items, Gold Edition items, and Ultimate Edition items
If you preordered at least the standard edition, you’re entitled to some number of bonuses, most of them cosmetic-only, though some will add more content to the game in the future. You can refer to our Star Wars Outlaws preorder guide for the full range of items coming your way, but since they’re all claimed in the same way, we’ll show you how you actually add them to your collection.
You’ll want to play through the main story until you reach a mission called New Tricks. We won’t spoil what happens here, but suffice it to say you’ll be onboard a spaceship with several interaction points available, like a place to upgrade your blaster, feed your animal companion Nix, and more.
In the ship’s hangar, you’ll find a delivery crate. Open this to immediately be given a bundle of whatever items you’ve unlocked through your specific purchase. This ship–and thus this crate–can’t be accessed until this particular mission, and if you don’t mainline the story, it could be several hours until you receive your items.
Keep that in mind as you play. The game will sooner throw a lot of side missions and other attractions your way, like various gambling minigames, before it gives you a chance to check out the delivery crate. It’s all in service to showing us the seedy underbelly of the Star Wars universe in a way it’s never really done before, argues GameSpot’s Steve Watts. Still, these items are merely cosmetic in nature, so you need not rush to them to make Kay and Nix’s adventure easier; they can only make it more stylish.
