Okay, so I’ve been playing a TON of Star Wars Outlaws lately, and those Falthier races? They were kicking my butt. Seriously, I was eating dust more often than I was winning. So, I decided to buckle down and figure out how to actually win these things. Here’s what I did, step-by-step, and it actually worked!
Getting Started: Picking the Right Falthier
First things first, I realized I was just picking whichever Falthier looked coolest. Big mistake. Turns out, they have different stats! I started paying attention to the little bars next to their names – speed, stamina, handling. You gotta find one that’s balanced, or at least leans towards speed and stamina if you’re like me and tend to bump into things (more on that later).
The Practice Runs: Learning the Tracks
Next, I stopped just jumping into races blind. I started doing practice runs. No pressure, just me and the track. I used this time to:
- Memorize the turns: Seriously, knowing where those sharp corners are is half the battle.
- Find the shortcuts: Some tracks have little hidden paths. They’re risky, but can shave off precious seconds.
- Figure out the boost pads: These are your best friends. Hit them perfectly and you get a huge speed boost.
Race Day: Putting It All Together
Okay, so here’s how I actually started winning:
- Good Start: I figured out that hitting the accelerate button right as the countdown hits “Go” gives you a little boost. It’s not much, but it helps!
- Stay on the Track(Mostly): I know, I know, it sounds obvious. But seriously, I was bumping into walls ALL the time. I focused on staying in the center of the track as much as possible, even if it meant slowing down a bit on turns.
- Boost Smart: I stopped spamming the boost button. I saved it for straightaways and for recovering after a bump. Using it right after hitting a boost pad is also super effective.
- Drift those turns: Mastering the drift mechanic is key to avoid slowing down to much and keep a good angle, you can take turns more tightly at a higher speed.
- Don’t Give Up: Even if I fell behind, I kept pushing. Sometimes the other racers mess up too, and you can catch up.
The Results? Sweet, Sweet Victory!
Honestly, it took a few tries, but I started winning! It wasn’t always pretty, and I still mess up sometimes, but I’m definitely winning more than I’m losing now. The key was really just practice and paying attention to the details. So, if you’re struggling with the Falthier races, give these tips a try. You might be surprised how much they help!
