This guide will show you how to unlock and complete the quest The Mercenary in Star Wars Outlaws. After helping Rooster Trace, The Mercenary Expert, Kay will be able to use heavy weapons such as the Z-6 Rotary Cannon.
How to unlock The Mercenary Quest
You’ll need to start the quest The Safecracker, land on Kijimi, and go to the cantina, The Domak Refectory. Talk to the bartender and she’ll direct you to a mercenary in the cantina.
After learning that she retired due to the Empire destroying her ship and confiscating her weapons, Kay sets out to find the missing weapons to motivate her.
Finding the Tracker
Rooster had all her weapons marked which can allow her to trace their location. Her tracker is somewhere in an asteroid field within the nebula in Kijimi’s orbit.
Go to the Trailblazer and enter Kijimi’s Orbit. Follow your marker into the nebula but don’t go too fast, some asteroids may appear as you traverse the nebula.
You’ll reach a clear patch within the nebula, this is Pilot’s End. Ignore the TIE fighters and fly forward to the shipwreck.
There will be mines in the area that appear as red canisters. Destroy them before getting too close and keep following your marker.
When you reach the cargo crate, press the button prompted on the screen to retrieve the tracker. You’ll learn that the weapons are currently on Tatooine.
The nebula will prevent you from entering hyperspace, so you’ll need to look for clear patches and follow those until you’re out of the nebula. When you’re out, set your course to Tatooine.
Find Rooster Trace in the Jundland Wastes
The Mercenary will be in the Jundland Wastes, northwest of your landing point. Mount your speeder and follow the roads there. The Jundland Wastes are rather narrow so be careful of making sharp turns.
Talk to Rooster and she’ll tell you the plan for getting her weapons back from the Empire. She’ll have you pick up one of the numerous Z-6 Rotary Cannons found in the area.
Pick one up and give it a whirl! Soon after you do, you’ll enter a cutscene. Get ready as this is where the fun begins.
Rooster’s Payback
An Imperial transport will arrive in the area. Take out the stormtroopers with the Rotary Cannons. Place your shots well as these weapons will run out of ammo quickly. Fortunately, there are plenty of spare cannons if you run out of ammo.
After you finish off the first transport, two more transports will appear behind you with even more stormtroopers. Mow them all down then talk to Rooster once all the Imperials have been dealt with.
A cutscene will start when you talk to Rooster, and you’ll unlock her Expert abilities after it’s done. Her skills increase Kay’s combat capabilities such as increased ammo on weapon pickups, more adrenaline buildup on headshots, a Nix Sense upgrade, and maneuvers for the Trailblazer.
