You can utilize Kay’s Speeder to zip across the regions while on land in Star Wars Outlaws, but the basic build of the Speeder can only get you so far. If your vehicle is not up to par, you might have a hard time trying to evade enemies or chase after them. The game offers a plethora of Speeder upgrades to utilize and enhance your trusted vehicle like a Jump feature and Speed Boost. In this guide, we have detailed out how to upgrade your Speeder and listed all Speeder upgrades available in Star Wars Outlaws
Where To Upgrade Your Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws
You can upgrade your Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws by heading over to any Speeder Mechanic across the various planets – these are identifiable on the map with a speeder and wrench icon. Each region will have at least one such mechanic to help you out. You might also receive quests where you can unlock Mechanic Experts. You can find this particular questline in Toshara, and after completing it you can get access to Selo Rovik the Mechanic Expert.
The only region that won’t offer such services is Kijmi, so you can avoid it if you are on the hunt for Speeder upgrades
All Speeder Upgrade Types in Star Wars Outlaws
There are two broad categories of speeder upgrades you can find. You can find the Special Upgrades and the Basic Mechanical Upgrades.
