Welcome to NGB and our Star Wars Outlaws guide on The Mechanic expert quest. In this guide, we’ll cover how you can obtain the quest and the steps needed to finish it successfully.
Quick Links
How to Start The Mechanic Expert Quest
To begin The Mechanic quest, you’ll need to complete The Speeder Mechanic expert intel chain, which you’ll get from Danka after completing the New Tricks main quest.
Boosting the Speeder
For the Boosting the Speeder intel, speak with the bartender in the bar where Danka is. He’ll tell you of a small windfishing settlement of Kadua where you’ll find Selo, who is a mechanic.
Selo’s People
For the Selo’s People intel, travel to Kadua Village then speak with the guy standing near the broken windfisher who will tell you of Selo’s location.
Selo’s Shop
For the Selo’s Shop intel, travel southwest of Kadua Village to The Mirage. Follow the road up to the top of the mountain and speak with Selo at her workbench to receive The Mechanic expert quest.
The Mechanic Walkthrough
Break into the wind facility
At the start of The Mechanic expert quest in Star Wars Outlaws, you’ll need to break into the wind facility which can be found along the western edge of Boulder Forest. When you get there, stop by the control area to the left of the turbine and interact with the machine at the top of the ramp on the right to attach the magnetic disrupter. This will stop the turbine allowing you to safely pass it.
Find an Atmospheric Accelerator
Once inside, call your Speeder and follow along the tunnel. When you reach the other side, you’ll find that the turbine has started up again. Follow the path veering off to the right to its end and you’ll arrive at a structure. Proceed under the metal walkway and use Nix to sneak past the red barrier and disable it from the other side.
After its down, use the newly accessible vent shaft to reach a room filled with fans. Cross the bridge timing it just right to avoid the fans along it so you don’t get blown off. Once you make it through, take a right and drop down in an opening along the railing. Continue down until you reach a wall you can climb. Wait for the fans to stop blowing then quickly make your way across. Drop down then shoot the power source on the wall to stop the two fans from moving. Continue working your way across the wall using the ledges to hold onto. Eventually you’ll find a broken pipe that you can drop down into.
After doing so, follow the path to emerge into a large open area with more fans. Work your way through this room. At the top, you’ll climb into a vent shaft which will finally bring you to the atmospheric accelerator. Interact with the terminal to extract the accelerator.
Leave the facility
Exit the facility via the turbine that just stopped. Conveniently, your speeder will be waiting for you just past the fan giving you a swift exit.
Return to Selo
Travel back to the mountain where Selo awaits at her camp. When you arrive, speak with Selo to receive the Speed Boost ability which allows for a short burst of speed on your speeder.
