These might appear naturally, such as when Danka helps you get started, or you might get a brief notification from ND-5 after completing a story mission. If these leads don\u2019t pop, try leaving a planet and returning, which in our experience can sometimes get ND-5 to start talking again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The initial lead introduces you to the expert in question, and then they\u2019ll always have a quest for you. Complete that quest to unlock an initial ability and see the requirements for the rest. Meeting experts is essentially the skill tree system for <em>Star Wars Outlaws<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">These requirements might range from performing certain actions in combat to finding materials in the open world, but you can get hints and track progression in the skills menu to make keeping up with it all a bit easier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Also note that you can only make progress toward a particular ability <em>after<\/em> you\u2019ve seen the requirements; for instance, if you need to pick three locks to unlock one of Aila\u2019s abilities, any locks you\u2019ve picked before meeting Aila won\u2019t count toward your tally. Once you\u2019ve completed all of the prerequisites for an ability, you can unlock that ability directly from your menu, without any need to double back and visit the expert it\u2019s associated with.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bram-the-bartender-abilities\">Bram the Bartender\u00a0abilities<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/how-to-find-experts-and-unlock-abilities-in-star-wars-outlaws-2.jpg\" alt=\"Bram the Bartender stands in a bar as an expert in Star Wars Outlaws\" title=\"Bram the Bartender stands in a bar as an expert in Star Wars Outlaws\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Massive Entertainment\/Ubisoft via Polygon\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Bram unlocks automatically at the start of the game, and you get two free abilities.

After completing the \u201cNew Tricks\u201d main quest, Danka gives you a hint about an ace mechanic on <strong>Toshara<\/strong>. Head to <strong>Jaunta\u2019s Hope<\/strong>, and pick up the <strong>\u201cExpert Mechanic\u201d<\/strong> intel from the bartender in Daruda Diner. Follow that to Kadua, then to a cliff near Jaunta\u2019s Hope, and you\u2019ll meet Selo.

Follow the quest marker to the compound, use Selo\u2019s disruptors, and head inside. You\u2019ll need to complete a series of platforming challenges involving giant fans and moving walls, but since there\u2019s only one path forward, you don\u2019t have to worry about getting lost.

Follow the quest marker to the Imperial compound where Aila is stranded, and quietly make your way to her location. You can go in with blaster blazing, but with so many soldiers and a good deal of high-powered weaponry nearby, things quickly get out of hand here. A cautious approach is much easier.

Challenge the table to a game using their special chips, win, and collect Lando\u2019s chip.

You\u2019re looking for a datapad inside a small building outside the outpost proper. Roughly two dozen enemies or more will swarm you if your Hutt reputation is low and you get caught, so don\u2019t linger.

More bandits appear once you leave the cave and swipe that item, so your next task is chasing the thief down. Catch them in their lair, defeat them and all the enemies who attack you, grab the item, and take it back to Teeka. This fight is much faster if you have Quint\u2019s default skill.
