Star Wars Outlaws fathier races are an excellent way to earn more Star Wars Outlaws credits. On the surface it may seem like betting on these races is a risky use of your funds but, as with playing Star Wars Outlaws Sabacc, you don’t have to leave it up to a gamble. There are ways of cheating to turn the odds in your favor. If you want to guarantee a big payout, then here's how to win fathier races in Star Wars Outlaws.

Star Wars Outlaws hacking and Star Wars Outlaws lockpicking will help you open every crate and door in the game.

To find intel for fixed Star Wars Outlaws fathier races read all the Datapads you find, especially in Syndicate territories in Star Wars Outlaws. For example, I found the tip-off in the image above by searching the area where I stole the blaster part from the Crimson Dawn district, which is then marked as the Crimson Dawn Vault Intel Chain in your journal, and a similar Datapad can be found in the Pyke Syndicate Vault. It stated that the "tallest of the batch" will be the winner of the next race – you'll need to make a manual note of information you find this way, as it isn't automatically logged in your journal.

If you have fixed race information you need to visit a fathier racing betting station, which can be found in most major cities marked with an icon on your map. Approach the station and follow the prompt to Bet, then on the next screen you should see a notice in the top-right corner of the screen confirming this is a fixed race and the tip-off – in my case this was about "the winning fathier's height", so using the intel I found earlier I scrolled through the options and picked the fathier with the tallest height. Other potential intel could involve identifiers such as the age or color of the fathier, so be sure to note down any details you find. All you need to do then is choose your bet amount (go for the maximum as you can't lose) then collect your winnings at the end of the race.

This procedure is repeatable to provide a great source of additional credits, but there can only be one fixed race running at a time. Therefore it's in your best interest to find a betting station and complete the race as soon as you find the relevant intel, so the process can then reset for the next fixed race.
