Right after finishing the 'The Wreck' main mission, ND-5 handed me a device I'd been itching to get my hands on – a Holotracker. It wasn't just any gadget; it held the key to a legendary smuggler's stash, Jet Kordo's Legacy. The problem? The holomap showed nothing but a vague silhouette of a rocky landscape and a cryptic symbol. No waypoints, no quest markers, just my wits and the faint beeping of the tracker.
I immediately recognized the dominant landmass in the image: Typhon's Rock, the largest monolith on Toshara, towering over the Lost Steppe. There was no doubt the vault was somewhere near that colossal stone. But where? The Holotracker only vibrated and beeped when I pointed it in the general direction, so I decided to hike west from the rock itself.
After a short speeder ride and a climb, I stumbled upon a small tower-like structure nestled against the cliffside. That's when I saw it – a tiny rock, no bigger than a helmet, etched with the same smuggler symbol from my Reputation menu. Something about seeing that mark in the wild, glowing faintly under the Tosharan sun, sent a rush of excitement through me. Kay knelt down, and the Holotracker's signal locked on with a satisfying hum.
From that spot, I followed the tracker's audio cue. It grew louder when I faced south, toward a makeshift archway formed by collapsed rock. I dropped down the cliff face, careful not to alert the local wildlife, and skirted around a small cave entrance with a shimmering pond at its mouth. The beeping became frantic, almost urgent. I plunged into the cool water and waded deeper into the cavern.
Inside, the cave was dark and damp. A single lamp flickered to the left, illuminating another inconspicuous rock. But this one was different – it had a holodisk slot. I interacted with it, and with a grinding noise, a ladder descended from the ceiling above. Climbing up, I was met by a locked door. My data spike made quick work of the ancient mechanism, and the door hissed open to reveal Jet Kordo's vault.
The stash was everything a scoundrel could hope for. The real prize, however, was the Scoundrel Belt – a piece of gear that immediately boosted my combat survivability. It increased my grenade capacity and bacta vial count, plus it made my stun shots recharge noticeably faster. But that wasn't all. Just outside the door, I picked up a datapad that contained clues pointing to more vaults scattered across other worlds. Jet Kordo's legacy wasn't just a single score; it was the beginning of a galaxy-spanning treasure hunt.
This quest taught me that the best loot in Star Wars Outlaws is hidden behind observation, not objective markers. You have to read the terrain, trust your instincts, and listen to your gear. If you're struggling with credits or need better equipment for those tough syndicate territories, tracking down these vaults is well worth the detour. Keep your Holotracker close – the next signal might just be on another planet.
Insights are sourced from Game Developer (Gamasutra), whose behind-the-scenes design coverage often explains why exploration-heavy quests lean on player-driven navigation rather than objective markers—an approach that mirrors how holotracker-style audio/visual cues can reinforce terrain reading, environmental silhouettes, and subtle symbol placement to make hidden vault hunts feel earned instead of waypoint-followed.
