As a seasoned scoundrel navigating the Outer Rim, I can attest that the galaxy is filled with hidden wealth. Yet, among all the loot I've pilfered, the treasures locked away in Jet Kordo's legendary vaults stand apart. These aren't your typical credits stashed in a crate; they represent a galaxy-spanning puzzle, a legacy left by a master thief that demands cunning, patience, and a keen eye. While you can stumble upon valuables in plain sight, Kordo's caches require a dedicated hunt, pulling you off the main paths and into the forgotten corners of every world. It's a challenge that truly tests a player's mettle, and the rewards, while not essential, are uniquely satisfying for those who embrace the life of a treasure hunter.

My journey began, as many do, on the dusty plains of Toshara. It was only after completing some initial errands that I gained the key tool for this endeavor: the holotracker. Found on the workbench aboard the Trailblazer, this device projects holographic images of potential vault locations. Once you're in the general area, it functions like a sophisticated metal detector, leading you to the well-concealed entrance. The first vault on Toshara taught me a crucial lesson: look for the small, unassuming holodisc reader embedded in the rock. It's remarkably easy to miss!

The Planetary Pursuit: Vaults Across the Galaxy

Every major planet in Star Wars Outlaws harbors at least one of Kordo's secret stashes. Here’s a breakdown of what I discovered on my galactic treasure tour:

Toshara: The Scoundrel's Foundation

  • Location: Near distinct rock formations.

  • Challenge: Primarily about observation; finding the hidden reader.

  • Prize: The Scoundrel Belt. This was a game-changer early on! It allows you to carry an extra Bacta Vial and Grenade, speeds up Stun Shot recharge, and unlocks a Super Cooling buff when paired with other Scoundrel gear.

Kijimi: A Gambler's Delight

This icy, urban planet required a different approach. Before I could even think about the vault, I needed the holodisc itself. I overheard a conversation in the city's crowded alleys—pure luck, really—which led me to a high-stakes Sabacc game. Winning that game netted me the disc and a fantastic Sabacc Token. This little trinket lets you swap your hand with an opponent's, an absolute must-have for any card shark navigating the galaxy's casinos.

Akiva: A Two-Part Commitment

Akiva demands more dedication. You must complete the main quest "The Scavenger" to get the Hydrorepulsor speeder upgrade, as the vaults are hidden across bodies of water. There are two vaults here:

  1. Vault One: Rewards a standard blaster part. Not thrilling, but it provides a clue to the second location.

  2. Vault Two: The real prize—the Scoundrel Pants. If you visit Akiva before Tatooine, this brings you to two pieces of the three-piece Scoundrel set.

Tatooine: Nostalgia and Completion

Like Akiva, Tatooine holds two vaults, accessible only after finishing the quest "The Heavy."

  • First Vault: This is non-negotiable. It grants a rare ship upgrade material and the Scoundrel Jacket. If you have the belt and pants, congratulations—you've now completed the full Scoundrel set and unlocked all its synergistic bonuses.

  • Second Vault: The reward here is purely cosmetic but dripping with nostalgia: a Sandcrawler paint job for your speeder. A lovely throwback for us fans of the Original Trilogy.

The Grand Finale: Jet Kordo's True Legacy

After plundering every vault across Toshara, Kijimi, Akiva, and Tatooine, the hunt circles back to where it began. Returning to the first vault on Toshara reveals the ultimate treasure: the Cocktail Umbrella Major Charm. This isn't just a fun accessory; it's arguably the most powerful single item from the entire quest. Its effect is brilliantly simple: it counts as any gear set item for unlocking set bonuses. This means you can mix and match your favorite gear pieces while still enjoying the powerful bonuses of a complete set. It’s the perfect capstone to Kordo's legacy, rewarding flexibility and style.

Completing this epic scavenger hunt also nets you the "Jet Kordo's Legacy" achievement, a badge of honor for any dedicated outlaw.

Is the Hunt Worth It? A Scoundrel's Verdict

Let's be clear: you can absolutely enjoy a complete and thrilling experience in Star Wars Outlaws without ever touching these vaults. The main narrative, the bustling world, and Kay's personal journey are fulfilling on their own. The vault items, individually, are never strictly necessary.

However, for players like me who live for the thrill of the hunt—for those who enjoy deciphering clues, exploring every nook, and building a legendary arsenal—Jet Kordo's Legacy is an unmissable side adventure. It adds a rich layer of exploration and rewards that enhance the core fantasy of being a galaxy-trotting scoundrel. The journey from that first holotracker ping on Toshara to slotting that Cocktail Umbrella charm is a uniquely satisfying arc, one that turns a simple treasure hunt into a worthy part of your own legacy in the stars.
