How to Reveal The Veteran’s Expert Intel Chain

Unlike several of the Experts inStar Wars Outlaws,The Veteran’s Expert Intelis only revealed once you begin to collect a very specific item. Most players will not even realize an Expert quest has started, as the game doesn’t make it clear that is what’s happening.

The first step to unlocking MT-7 inStar Wars Outlawstakes place in space, orbiting Toshara, Kijimi, and Akiva. These three planets feature large, freely-explorable areas above their surface, where multiple treasure containers can be found floating among the space debris and ruins. There is one type of container that Kay wants to look out for: thesmall, yellow tubular containers.

As you collect them,ND-5will comment that he is currently unable to decrypt them, but if you collect more, he may be able to uncover the deeper mystery.

How to Unlock MT-7 The Veteran Expert in Star Wars Outlaws

After collecting several transmissions from various orbits, it will be time to move to the next step of the process. Make sure you’ve collected multiple transmissions before moving on. We do not currently know exactly how many are required, but we do know thatfive is enough.The next step is toprogress through the Akiva storyline.

MT-7’s storyline is tied to Akiva, so Kay must reach a specific point in her quest before The Veteran can be unlocked. This Expert can be unlocked earlier in the game if Kay decides to go to Akiva beforeKijimi or Tatooine.
