Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into Star Wars Outlaws lately, and those Falthier races? Man, they were kicking my butt! I kept getting smoked, race after race. It was frustrating, to say the least. I figured I’d share what I did to finally start winning, ’cause I know I’m not the only one who struggled.
Figuring Out the Controls (Duh!)
First thing I did, and this might sound obvious, was really get a handle on the controls. I mean, really learn them. I spent some time just free-riding, not even in a race, just getting used to the speeder’s handling. I practiced sharp turns, drifts, and using the boost at the right moments. Before, I was just mashing buttons, hoping for the best. Big mistake.
Boosting Smart, Not Hard
Speaking of boosting, that was a game-changer. I used to just hold down the boost button until it ran out. Turns out, that’s a terrible idea. I started tapping the boost button instead, using short bursts. This gave me way more control, especially around corners. I also learned to watch the boost meter like a hawk. Letting it completely drain means you’re a sitting duck for a while.
Learning the Tracks (the Hard Way)
Next up, I had to actually learn the tracks. I know, shocking, right? I used to just try to wing it, reacting to each turn as it came. Nope. I started running the same races over and over, even if I lost. Each time, I paid attention to the layout. Where are the sharp turns? Where are the best places to boost? Where are the shortcuts (if any)? It was a slow process, but I started noticing patterns.
Using the Environment to My Advantage
Then I started getting sneaky. I noticed that some tracks have obstacles or environmental hazards. At first, I was just trying to avoid them. Then I realized I could use them against my opponents. If I timed it right, I could nudge them into a wall or force them to take a wider turn. It felt a little dirty, but hey, all’s fair in love and Falthier racing.
Upgrade That Speeder!
I almost forgot. I was able to upgrade the speeder by spending the money. I don’t remember how much it cost, but it was well worth it to do.
Practice, Practice, Practice
Finally, and this is the most boring part, I just kept practicing. There’s no magic bullet. It’s just about putting in the time, learning the nuances of each race, and getting a feel for the speeder. It took a while, but I finally started winning consistently. It felt good to finally beat those races, after all the frustration!
Hope This Will Help You!
