Where to find Compact Detonite in Star Wars Outlaws: Unlocking Improved Grenade Ability

Adrian by Adrian|

This guide will show you how to reach the container South of the North Jundland wastes, containing the Compact Detonite upgrade material, required for the Improved Grenade ability in Star Wars Outlaws.

How to get the Compact Detonite

This expert item is located south of the North Jundland wastes, inside Imperial Territory.

This is a restricted area, they will attack the moment you get close to them. I recommend approaching this area from the right side since only two Scout Troopers are guarding this side. Sneak behind them. Take them down silently and continue to the restricted territory.

You should head towards the closest building as it covers the sight of all Stormtroopers in the area.

From this position, you can see one Scout Trooper, two standard Stormtroopers, and a Captain (the one with the orange pauldron). There’s another Stormtrooper behind the building you are but he won’t see you as long as you are crouching. Only the captain is patrolling the area. Move to the rock that’s being pointed to in the following image.

Wait for the captain to turn her back on you. Send Nix to attack the Scout Trooper while you take down the captain, then knock out the Scout Trooper.

You will see the Stormtrooper behind the building that I mentioned before. Disable/Trap the alarm, just in case.

Open the door with the data slicer, be prepared to use the Stun Mode on the Imperial Officer behind the wall as soon as the door opens.

Once the Officer is down you can loot the big container that contains the Compact Detonite and all nearby materials. To get away undetected simply follow the same route you used to get in.

Video Walkthrough

The video walkthrough below shows you the same approach from the east after Update 1.2, which improved AI and stealth gameplay overall in the game. Not much has changed and your path remains the same.

How to unlock the Improved Grenade ability

This ability is granted by the Hotfixer expert, Teeka. You unlock him on Tatooine after completing the Hotfixer quest. This Jawa installs a laser turret on the Trailblazer, as well as other abilities, including Improved Grenade.

Compact Detonite is one of the required items to unlock the Improved Grenade upgrade.

Effect of Improved Grenade: Increases the radius and damage dealt with Grenades by 50% each.

Unlocking Improved Grenade requires:

  • Compact Detonite
  • 20x Durasteel
  • 6x Accu-Accelerators
Improved-Grenade-Icon

How to use the Improved Grenade ability

Since each grenade deals more damage and has a wider radius, the best option is to use them when a medium to large number of enemies is close to each other.

You will deal lots of damage to all of them. Using two grenades on the same group would kill most of them and those who remain alive won’t be able to take much damage before going down.
