Star Wars Outlaws is all about doing crime, and to do so, you’ll probably want to partner up with a criminal syndicate. The galaxy is home to four factions of the criminal variety, and Kay Vess – and you by extension – has to carefully manage her reputation with each of them. It’s a difficult tightrope to walk, but it’s made easier by knowing which factions are worth keeping on your good side and which ones can be safely ignored — or annoyed.
In this guide we’ll go over each of the factions in Star Wars Outlaws, detailing exactly when and why you should start earning criminal brownie points with them, and what rewards you get for doing so. Make sure you also check out our guides for easy slicing and easy lockpicking in Outlaws to make your criminal activity spree that much easier.
Crimson Dawn should be the first faction you try to max out. It’s fairly easy to do so, as many of the story choices in the first planet of Toshara involve the Crimson Dawn, and once you get access to faction quests, you’ll mostly have Crimson Dawn and Pyke Syndicate jobs to do. Crimson Dawn’s rewards focus on maximizing your stealth capabilities, and given how big of a focus stealth is in the game, it’s well worth investing into early.
The rewards for high Crimson Dawn reputation are as follows:
Good
Excellent

The Pyke Syndicate should be your second port of call, not necessarily because the rewards are worth it, but because the Pykes control huge swathes of land throughout the galaxy, and being on bad terms with the syndicate makes for a difficult time moving around. We’d suggest saving your Syndicate data for the Pykes, since after helping the Crimson Dawn, it might be difficult to get jobs from the Pyke Syndicate at first.

The Ashiga Clan won’t really come into play until you visit Kijimi, but you’ll want to get on their good side early. Not only does it make basically all of Kijimi’s quests easier when you can travel freely throughout the frozen city, but its reputation rewards offer a host of abilities aimed at keeping you healthy.

The Hutt Cartel is the least important of the four factions, coming into play primarily on Tatooine, where they control a large amount of the land there. We’d recommend getting up to Good while exploring Tatooine, but otherwise you can largely ignore the Hutts if you please.
