This guide will show you how to unlock and complete the quest The Gunslinger in Star Wars Outlaws. After helping Quint, The Gunslinger Expert, Kay will be able to use new abilities that prove extremely useful in combat.
How to unlock The Gunslinger Quest
During the main quest “The Heavy” you will meet Quint, a sheriff who arrested Hoss, one of the guys you are trying to recruit for the heist.
Continue searching for Hoss. Not long after that, ND-5 will provide intel for a gunslinger who could teach Kay some nice tricks.
Talk to the bartender. After a few words, he will point out an “old timer” who knows pretty much every candidate for the job. She’s next to the band performing at the cantina.
The information she provides will send you a datapad located inside a Hutt territory. Keep in mind that retrieving the datapad is going to be significantly harder if your reputation isn’t good with the Hutt Cartel, at least if you want to do it with the stealth approach.
Finding the Datapad
The datapad is on a table, it can be seen outside of the hut. However, going inside means entering a restricted area. As you are aware, doing so will cause the Hutt enforcers to attack, even if you have the best reputation. The first step is to send Nix to close the door.
Then, proceed to the left side of the building. There’s a Rodian patrolling around so make sure that he’s nowhere close. Use the spike to open the door, it’s a simple pattern so you shouldn’t have problems unlocking it.
You will see two guards, both of them are with their backs against you so it’s very easy to get rid of them. In this type of scenario, I usually take down the first one and immediately use the Stun mode on the second one. This way I save a few seconds while also reducing any chance of getting noticed.
Read the datapad information. Its message mentions that a Hutt enforcer used to work with Quint, the sheriff you met when trying to find information about Hoss.
Return to Quint and deal with the Hutt’s underboss
Return to the place where you met Quint. You should be able to fast travel there.
The journal says to search for Hoss. The Sheriff is inside this building next to a couple of Banthas, on the main road. Get close to the panel and interact with it to trigger a cutscene.
Quint tells about her past as a pirate. Kay offers to help the sheriff with the grunts sent by the Hutts to terrorize the people of this small town. After a small practice round the enemies will get here.
The fight is very simple and straightforward. Simply defeat the three waves of enemies arriving from multiple directions. Each wave arrives a few seconds after the previous one, try to take them down as fast as possible so the numbers don’t get from small to overwhelming.
Urda, the Hutt’s underboss will show up but it’s going to be you who takes care of him.
The game tells you to trigger the Adrenaline Rush button but this time you’ll see up to five marks. Take them down with a quick trigger.
You have now completed The Gunslinger and unlocked Quint as an expert. Adrenaline Rush mastery is your first new ability.
