The best Star Wars Outlaws outfits and armor depend on your playstyle. Overall, if you choose to play with a combat or stealth focus, it’ll affect what you want to use. But, as you explore and unlock more clothes, your options will expand significantly.

Different outfits provide different powers in Star Wars Outlaws, with a set bonus for wearing a whole set of one particular outfit in your loadout. While there's plenty to choose from, there are a couple of options that are clearly better and we’ve listed them below, as well as how to get your hands on them in the game. It’s not too complicated, but it is worth brushing up on your Star Wars Outlaws faction and reputation system knowledge, too.

The best Star Wars Outlaws outfit or armor is the Outlaw Set with a Set Bonus that deals more damage, and regenerates health over time, at full Adrenaline. Here's what each part does individually: 

  • Outlaw Jacket
    • Gain Adrenaline when Nix successfully performs risky actions.
    • Gain Adrenaline over time in Combat.
  • Outlaw Belt
    • Increases Adrenaline gained from defeating enemies.
    • Swapping blaster modules now triggers the Supercooled state.
  • Outlaw Pants
    • Greatly slows Adrenaline loss over time.
    • Gain a huge shot of Adrenaline when using Bacta Vials.

The Kijimi Explorer Set is also a good option. That has a Set Bonus that reduces damage taken at low health, while defeating enemies while at low health with your Blaster triggers Super Cooling, Although you will need Good or better Reputation with the Ashiga Clan to access that. Here's what all the parts do individually: 

  • Kijimi Explorer Jacket
    • Reduces damage taken from blaster and projectile weapons.
    • Increases the amount of Adrenaline gained when taking damage.
  • Kijimi Explorer Belt
    • Increases Bacta Vial carrying capacity.
    • Fully restore health upon taking lethal damage.
  • Kijimi Explorer Pants
    • Greatly reduces damage taken from explosions when crouched, rolling or sliding.
    • Health begins to regenerate sooner after taking damage.

Most armor and outfits in Star Wars Outlaws have a particular focus or niche, but what makes the Outlaw Set so good is that it applies to both Stealth and Combat, as the Adrenaline Rush can be used to quickly take down opponents who spot you, or to bring down a string of enemies. Admittedly, it's more inclined towards combat than stealth, but considering failed stealth just ends in combat, it's more universal that way. 

Meanwhile, the Kijimi set simply turns Kay Vess into a combat tank in Star Wars Outlaws, so no matter how badly you screw up, it's unlikely you'll get killed over it. You'll be dependent on a good reputation with the Ashiga Clan to get the most out of it, but considering their smaller footprint in the galaxy, it's hard to run into them in such a way as to upset them, especially if you're not trying to.

How to get the best Star Wars Outlaws outfits

To get the Outlaw Set, you simply need to complete three quest chains that open up when you're deciding which planet you should go to first in Star Wars Outlaws. There'll be three quest chains - one on Tatooine, one on Kijimi, and one on Akima - and completing each one gets you a piece of the Outlaw Set.

To get the Kijimi Explorer Set, you need to reach max reputation with the Ashiga Clan as part of the Star Wars Outlaws factions and reputation system. It's a set so good, it's one of the reasons we recommended prioritising becoming friends with them. Our recommendation is to head to Kijimi and start doing contracts for the Ashiga Clan, as well as pursuing their Opportunities.
