How to complete Counterfeit Credits in Star Wars Outlaws

Star Wars Outlaws is riddled with side missions and Intel chains to figure out, and the Counterfeit Credits quest stands among them. In this guide, we detail the entire process but also single out the location of the market trader for those in need of a quick fix.

Because this side quest appears early on Toshara, it might be one of the very first Star Wars Outlaws Intel chains you'll come across. You can complete it at any time, but unless your Pyke Syndicate and Crimson Dawn reputation are very low, it'll prove a heck of a lot more difficult.

Where to find the Market Trader in Star Wars Outlaws

The Counterfeit Credits Intel chain is one of the most interesting chains of Star Wars Outlaws, showing players the criminal underbelly of the galaxy. While the first few steps of it are easy enough, the final parts of the quest need a bit of planning and thoughtfulness.

Navigating the Crimson Dawn District

Once Hen Puon's plan for fake credits has been revealed, your path will lead you to the Crimson Dawn District. There, you will either enter through the front entrance or through a ventilation shaft, depending upon your reputation. Remember that with a high reputation, the location is still restricted, so you will have to find a sneaky way through.

The Landing Pad Challenge

To get to the landing pad, some creativity is required. Instead of heading up the ramp, head right of the guards and jump up onto the platform. Prepare to take out possible foes and do so in silence.

Getting Past the Fan Obstruction

Behind the ship in front of you on the platform is a fan. To pass through, you'll have to turn off the blades. Head right and pull the lever to shut down the fan. Have Nix hold it while you squeeze through.

The Hidden Cache

In the tunnel, turn left and descend the ladder. You can see a large box of forged credits that, in fact, is one of the major parts of the Intel chain.

Choosing Siding with a Faction

By the end of the conversation with ND-5, you will be asked to take a decision on what faction you want to side with either Crimson Dawn or Pyke Syndicate. Obviously, that will have a great impact on how you will deal with them in the future and may change the outcome of this whole quest.

Completion of the Quest

Your final quest will vary, depending on what faction you decided to join. If you were aligned with Crimson Dawn, you will want to go to Eleera, who is outside the soup kitchen. If you had decided upon the Pyke Syndicate, go back to where you originally received the quest.

Tips

It Pays to Have a Good Reputation: Having a good reputation with either Crimson Dawn or the Pyke Syndicate can make things a bit easier in this quest.

Stealth: Considering the Crimson Dawn District is off-limits, much stealth will be required to avoid detection and complications.

Be Ready to Handle it: Most side missions in Star Wars Outlaws will possess some sort of obstacles or challenges; the Counterfeit Credits Intel chain is no exception. Be ready to adapt and conquer such setbacks.

By trying to make your way carefully through Crimson Dawn District, using stealth, and choosing the right options, players can complete the Counterfeit Credits Intel chain and move further into the complex world of Star Wars Outlaws.
