The best way to earn Credits in Star Wars Outlaws is to complete jobs and contracts. Many of the main story quests offer Credits as rewards upon completion, but you can take side jobs at any time by visiting a broker.

The rewards for these side quests vary but often offer at least 500 Credits for completing them. On top of this, they provide a valuable boost to reputation with whatever syndicate you are completing the job for.

Credits are also found in the open world and can be grabbed by hand or by directing Nix. I advise always looking in dark corners and hidden areas for extra loot, as it’s a great way to boost your Credit total and offers plenty of upgrade materials.

After any adventure in Star Wars Outlaws, I advise visiting a merchant wherever possible to sell any trinkets you find. Many items are marked in the game as safe to sell and have no other use, but make sure you always check so you don’t get rid of anything you might need later.

If you fancy trying your luck, you can also gamble in Cantinas across the galaxy. The best of these is Sarlaac, a popular card game in the Star Wars world where the goal is to have a pair of cards in your hands. Of course, it can be risky, too.
