Reputation Guide: How to Increase Reputation

This is a Reputation system guide in Star Wars Outlaws. See the different types of Reputations, how they work, and how to increase Reputation in this guide!

How to Increase Reputation

Contracts are Fastest Way to Earn Reputation

The fastest way to increase reputation would be doing Contracts via Contract Brokers, found on every planet (denoted on the map with a handshake icon).

Contracts usually task you with going to a restricted area on the planet to either steal or plant data, or go to orbit to deliver cargo. The easiest and fastest contracts to do are the ones that set in space since they're straightforward escort/delivery jobs. The ones on land usually require some form of stealth, and thus more time.

Best Faction to Side With

Sell Syndicate Data

Selling Syndicate Data you acquire while exploring is a good way to earn a reputation boost quickly, since you'd just have to sell it to any vendor associated with the faction. There's also no consequence for selling Syndicate Data to another faction.

Syndicate Data are usually found in Syndicate Vaults.

Do Syndicate Quests

Doing Syndicate Quests are another guaranteed way of earning Reputation with that faction. However, the conclusions of some Syndicate Quests may present you with a choice that'll ultimately hurt your reputation with at least one faction—unlike Contracts, which you can play safe by choosing not to betray the faction that assigned you the contract.

There's also only a handful of Syndicate Quests at around only 9 quests in total.

Choosing the Faction in a Choice Scenario

The most obvious way of getting reputation with a faction is by choosing them in the many choice scenarios spread across the story. During a choice scenario, the game will indicate the symbol of the faction being benefitted by the choice you're hovering over.

However, most story choices will end up raising your reputation with one faction while decreasing another. It's also impossible to get Max Reputation for a faction just by choosing them throughout the whole story, so you will need to end up doing the above methods anyway.

All Choices and Consequences

How to Not Lose Reputation

Don't Trespass Faction Areas and Engage Members in Combat

Trespassing faction areas when in Poor or Bad reputation with them will decrease your reputation for certain factions, so don't get caught sneaking in their territories. Be warned that even at Excellent reputation with a faction, that faction's restricted areas are still off limits to you. You will get deducted reputation for trespassing in them.

Obviously, don't engage faction members in combat or choose dialogue options that'll betray a faction as well if you don't want to lose even more reputation with them.

Reputation Effects

5 Reputation Standing in Factions

There are 5 reputation standings you can be in within a syndicate. You can be on Excellent, Good, Poor, Bad, or Terrible standings with them, depending on your actions.

The effects of these standings will differ. The better reputation you have with a syndicate, the better the benefits you can get from them.

What is Reputation?

Status in Each Faction

Reputation is Kay Vess's status in each faction. You can either be on good terms with a certain faction or completely disregarded. It's based on how you interact with them.

Reputation Fluctuates Throughout the Game

The idea of the reputation system is to select a faction which you think has the best benefits and earn your rep there. Reputation will fluctuate so be sure to select the faction that you like.

We recommend the Pyke Syndicate faction when starting out.
