The criminal lifestyle comes with the risk of provoking Imperial Death Troopers to hunt Kay Vess on the planets ofStar Wars Outlaws.To be a rebel is to anger the empire in theStar Warsuniverse. In fact, drawing their attention means Kay is doing something right. However, the presence of Death Troopers around the galaxy won’t make boosting your faction status any easier until Kay’s wanted status is cleared.
There are six wanted levels in total, with each levelincreasing the threat of imperial intervention. Each wanted level scales to determine how many credits Kay stands to lose if killed or arrested. Failing to escape the empire quickly clears wanted levels at a cost, but it’s more fun to embrace the outlaw code. While Manhunt Death Troopers offer a significant challenge, the opportunity to save your life and credits is worth braving the fight. Play the renegade role toearn an achievement.

Getting your reputation settled with the various factions is crucial for traversing the world easier and getting the best gear in Star Wars Outlaws.
On land or in space, once Manhunt status is achieved,fast travel is prohibited. This means Kay needs to find a way to clear her status. Depending on the wanted level, and the Empire’s attempts to put a stop to your outlaw activity, there are a few ways toclear the criminal record and save your credits.
You can wait out the investigation, bribe a corrupt officer, or find a key card andenter it into an outpost terminal. Death Troopers complicate these tasks. When Most Wanted is activated, Kay won’t be able to simply escape enemy patrols. Not to mention, Nix can’t help you kill them.
Locating The Death Trooper Squad
Find The Death Troopers To Steal The Captain’s Key Card
If speeder chases, shielded blasters, and AT-ATs didn’t slow down Kay’s reign of terror, thenDeath Troopers are certainly inbound. Their arrival initiates the Manhunt Quest, an opportunity to earn an achievement by clearing Kay’s wanted status at the highest level.
There aredifficulty settingsthat can be adjusted at any time. If you’re struggling to trigger a Manhunt, consider lowering the difficulty level. Alternatively, you can raise it for more of a challenge.
Fortunately,Star Wars Outlawsmakes locating these elite soldiers rather easy. An indicator will appear on-screen, alerting Kay to the direction and distance of the Death Trooper outpost.Follow the compass to the hostile map area. But beware, the Empire’s blockades and checkpoints will still be active and eager to cut down your speeder. You can see footage of a Manhunt in action inthe videoabove
Engaging Death Troopers
Blast Through Tough Enemies Or Stealthily Infiltrate Their Outpost
Unlike causing mayhem in space and escaping the Empire’s clutches by lightspeed in cinematic fashion, Kay must rely on combat or stealth when outside of her ship. For this reason, clearing Manhunt Status on land is more difficult. Death Troopers are imperial soldiersdistinguished by their all-black armor. Before entering a Death Trooper outpost, survey the area and plan your approach. For stealth, creep around to study enemy movements until you locate the captain (they don’t wear armor). If it appears the captain can be isolated and taken down,then stealing the key card is an option.
Nix can’t damage Death Troopers.
If being sneaky isn’t your style, engage Death Troopers in combat. They are powerful bullet sponges, so if a unit is focusing on Kay, it’s easy to be overwhelmed. If possible, figure out how toturn the enemy’s firepower against them. Death Troopers typically use high-powered blasters. If you can find a weapon cache or take a weapon from a downed trooper, then shooting through their armor will prove substantially easier than Kay’s standard weapons. No matter the tactics, retrieve the captain’s key card and thenclear Kay’s wanted status at the outpost terminal.
