Slicing is an exciting and challenging mini-game that requires cracking the correct glyph combination in order to access restricted terminals. This guide will teach you the fundamentals of hacking and offer expert advice to make the process easier. Get ready to uncover the secrets of the galaxy!
1. A Beginner’s Guide to Hacking in Star Wars Outlaws
In the Star Wars world, ‘slicing’ is the practice of hacking, and Kay Vess, the main character, utilizes it to gain entry into computer terminals, obtain confidential information, and manipulate secure systems. The game’s approach to slicing involves a distinctive mini-game where players must decipher a code through trial and error, receiving feedback on their progress and making adjustments until they are successful.
Efficiently completing the hacking minigame without setting off alarms is crucial in order to succeed.
1. Unlocking the Slicing Ability
As soon as you reach Toshara, you will have access to Slicing. However, in order to enhance its efficiency, you must complete additional tasks to unlock the Advanced Slicing Kit and other upgrades. These upgrades are crucial for navigating the more complex levels of Slicing later in the game, and the Advanced Slicing Kit is essential for unlocking certain terminals.
2. Learning the Tricks of Slicing
In the Slicing puzzle of Star Wars Outlaws, players are faced with a grid containing three boxes per row (which increases to four with advanced slicing). The objective is to accurately place different symbols in each box before using up all of your guesses.
The game utilizes color to indicate accuracy and provide feedback on your guesses.
- Blue: Accurate symbol in the correct position (securely fixed in place).
- Yellow: Incorrectly positioned symbol that can be corrected by repositioning.
- The symbol for “Red”was eliminated from the options due to being incorrect.
Each icon has a specific correct placement, so any correct identification, regardless of its position, provides a valuable clue that can assist in narrowing down the possibilities and getting closer to solving the puzzle.
If you are having difficulty with Slicing, simply return to the terminal dashboard by pressing B/Circle and restart the process to receive a new set of attempts.
Advanced Slicing
The difficulty level is raised with the introduction of advanced slicing and additional boxes. To obtain the Advanced Slicing Kit in Star Wars Outlaws, players must finish the ‘New Tricks’ main quest, which is the fifth mission in the game’s storyline. This will allow players to acquire the ‘Underworld Rumors’ Expert Intel and locate the ‘The Slicer’ NPC.
By completing this questline, you will receive the Advanced Slicing Kit and gain access to The Slicer’s Abilities. This will open up opportunities for you to upgrade and enhance your slicing toolkit in the future.
Don’t be discouraged if you’re having trouble with the Slicing mini-game in Star Wars Outlaws. The game offers the option to customize your experience to your liking. To do so, simply follow these steps:
- Select ‘Settings’ from the options menu.
- Go to the ‘Gameplay’ section and locate the ‘Slicing’ subsection.
Within this section, you will have access to three choices for personalizing Slicing.
- Substitute numbers for symbols: Exchange the symbolic representations with numerical values, simplifying the identification of patterns and the resolution of the puzzle.
- Increase hacking attempts: Provides additional opportunities to solve the Slicing puzzle, enabling you to practice and improve your skills.
- To completely disable Slicing, you have the option to bypass the Slicing mini-game, which will allow you to directly access computers and terminals without having to hack them.
By adjusting these parameters, you can enhance the playability and enjoyment of the Slicing mini-game for yourself.
Keep in mind that practice leads to perfection, so do not let a few attempts discourage you from getting the hang of it.
As you embark on your journey through the galaxy and conquer obstacles in Star Wars Outlaws, may the Force guide and protect you.
