When you are a scoundrel in a galaxy far far away, you will need your trusty weapon by your side to cause mayhem if things go south. To upgrade the Blaster in Star Wars Outlaws, you will need a Trans-Accelerator. Locating this Trans-Accelerator is not the easiest, and hence we have put up a guide to help you find the Trans-Accelerator in Star Wars Outlaws.
Ability Requirements To Resolve The Intel
You will need two abilities to even get to the first section of the intel hunting. We will need Hydrorepulsor to get to the location, and Fusioncutter to open a steel gate to access the rest of the area.
- Hydrorepulsor: When you finish the Expert quest from Temmin, you will obtain the Hydrorepulsor ability allowing you to use your Speeder on the water.
- Fusioncutter: You have to finish the main quest “Legacy” to obtain the fusion cutter tool. Having the tool will allow you to get past certain yellow-painted steel doors in the game.
We will need a Trans-Accelerator, Chalcopyrite, and Cryo-Coil to upgrade the Maximum Charge Ability for the Power Pulse Mode of the Blaster. If you lacking in any of these materials in your inventory, you can buy them from any merchant in the game. But most of them can be obtained from random treasure chests and smuggler caches.
How To Get The Trans-Accelerator In Star Wars Outlaws
You get the Trans-Accelerator from a Smuggler Hideout near Lake Amari on Akiva, and it involves solving a puzzle to open the door to the location. Follow these steps to get your hands on the item easily:
- Head to southwest of the Akiva, where you will immediately need the Repulsor upgrade for your speeder to sore on the water. Here move towards southwest of Excavation Site 12. The ancient structures now drowned in greenery, will give off an amazing vibe.
- Head straight to the area, and you will see a grappling point in the middle between a fallen ancient architecture and a tree. Use the grappling hook and then climb the wall to get to the top.
- Here our path will be blocked by a yellow-painted metal door, we will need our Fusioncutter tool to open the path. Once you cut open the steel gates, go through them to get to the next area.
- In the open area, don’t try to jump to the platform up front, look up, and you will find a grappling hook point to swing across to the platform in the middle. Then from the platform, hook to another grappling point to launch yourself to the other side safely.
- Once you land in the location, the game will inform you about the new destination – The Bolthead.
- Take the path on the left, on the walls to your right, you will see metal rods with ropes hanging off it, that’s our way to the finish line. Start moving towards the right, and follow the metal bars to land on the platform on the other side.
- Now turn around, and you will find another set of climbable walls to your right, take the walls to reach the floor above.
That’s it we have arrived at the place. Here we will have to tackle a puzzle to get our reward.
How To Open The Red Door To Get The Trans-Accelerator
Now we are going to focus on the red door in the middle. Above the door, you will find three red lights with large cables connecting them. The cables are connected to different locations, following the cable lines will help us turn the lights from red to green. The solution here is to turn all three lights from red to green to open the door and take the cake.
Turning The First Light Green
Get to the front of the red door, look above, and you will find a boulder hiding in the middle. Switch to the power module on your Blaster and take care of the boulder first. This will reveal the power node, and shoot with the Ion Blaster Module to activate the light above the door. Now we only have to deal with two of them.
Turning The Second Light Green
Now focus on the pipe on the left of the door, and follow it, it will take you to the edge of the platform, here use the grappling hook to jump to the ledge on the right.
Tip: Make sure to align your character angle to the ledge. And then build up momentum before making the jump. Or you will take a leap of faith into the jungle below. Not a sight you want to see.
Once you land on the platform, look at the wall on your left, through the hole you will be able to point to the second power node that we need to turn to green. Use the Ion Module on your Blaster to turn the color green.
After you land a perfect shot on the power node, it’s time to go back to the red door to take care of the last light. Take the grappling hook to get across to the previous platform.
Turning The Third Light Green
The last node was tricky to figure out since it is hidden in plain sight.
Now from the red door, follow the cable on the right, jump down the ledge, and you will land on a platform below. Head straight until you reach the end of the cliff, don’t worry we don’t have to jump to another platform or look for a grappling hook, here all we have to do is to look down.
We will find our last power node half submerged in the water. Shoot the node with Ion Blaster and then head back to the door.
That’s it, now we can loot the Trans-Accelerator but before getting to the main dish, here loot the materials lying around, you will find some useful stuff such as Cryo-Coil x3, Ion Cell x3, Antique Bracelet x1, Transparisteel x1, Durasteel x1, and lastly reach the container north of the room to take us the Trans-Accelerator. This will resolve the intel Trans-Accelerator.
