In the vast galaxy of Star Wars Outlaws, while many side quests may blend into the background, one substantial adventure stands apart: "Jet Kordo's Legacy." This major side quest, initiated by interacting with a holotracker aboard Kay's ship, the Trailblazer, sends players on a galaxy-spanning treasure hunt for hidden vaults left by the ship's previous owner, the enigmatic Jet Kordo. The journey is not merely about collecting loot; it's a narrative-driven scavenger hunt that rewards persistence with unique gear, collectibles, and a surprisingly powerful endgame item. The quest unfolds across multiple planets, each vault requiring Kay to find a holodisc, locate a marker, isolate a frequency, and then follow a series of auditory and visual cues—like beeps from the holotracker and signal poles—in a classic 'hot and cold' search to uncover each secret location. Along the way, players can piece together Jet Kordo's story through journal entries and assemble the complete Scoundrel Gear set. But is the final prize, whimsically named the Cocktail Umbrella, truly worth the effort? Let's delve into the details of this clandestine legacy.
The Quest Formula and Initial Rewards
Every segment of "Jet Kordo's Legacy" follows a consistent, engaging loop. First, Kay must acquire a specific holodisc, often through dialogue, exploration, or minor challenges. Inserting the disc into the holotracker reveals a hologram of a landmark, guiding her to a marker on the current planet's map. At the marker, she isolates a unique frequency. Then, the real hunt begins: following the holotracker's beeping signals, which grow more frequent as she gets closer, often aided by environmental clues like a series of poles. This process leads to a hidden vault entrance. Successfully navigating this in each location yields substantial rewards:
-
The Full Scoundrel Gear Set: A three-piece outfit (Belt, Pants, Jacket) that, when completed, unlocks the secret achievement/trophy "It's mine now".
-
Jet's Journal Entries: An eight-part collectible series that narrates Jet Kordo's exploits, accounting for nearly a quarter of all "Jet's Journal" collectibles in the game.
-
Various Useful Items: Including Syndicate Data, Blaster Upgrades, Ship Components, and unique tokens.
The quest effectively encourages exploration of each planet's nooks and crannies, making the galaxy feel more lived-in and mysterious.
Planetary Vault Walkthroughs
Toshara's Vault
The journey begins on Toshara. The first holodisc is obtained directly from the holotracker on the Trailblazer. The marker's hologram points to the Typhon's Rock landmark in The Lost Steppe. Upon arrival, Kay finds a rock with Jet's emblem, isolates the frequency, and begins tracking. The path leads her to a nearby station to rappel down from, over cliffs, and through caves before finding the holodisc insertion point.
Inside the vault, the first treasure awaits: the Scoundrel Belt and information hinting at more vaults on other planets Kay will visit.
Kijimi's Vault
On Kijimi, more legwork is required. In Kijimi City, Kay must gather intel starting at Kijimiko Square. By eavesdropping on conversations, she learns the needed holodisc is part of a Sabacc pot in the nearby Thieves' Quarter. Winning the Sabacc game secures the disc. The subsequent marker is conveniently located back in Kijimiko Square, near a large dual-antenna structure. After isolating the frequency, the tracking leads to a secluded area by the Kijimi City Gate, requiring some climbing to access the vault. Rewards here include syndicate data and a Direct Transaction Shift Token for Kessel Sabacc, a unique gameplay item.
Akiva's Two Vaults
Akiva hosts two vaults, which must be completed in sequence. For the first vault, the holodisc is simply purchased from a vendor in the Market District in Myrra for 100 credits. The marker points to the Delma Water Tower in the Karaba Foothills. Reaching it involves crossing a huge log visible on the map. After activating the frequency and backtracking, Kay finds the vault entrance. Inside, besides syndicate data, she finds a Blaster Recirculator and a datapad revealing the second vault's existence.
The second vault on Akiva requires stealth or force. Intel gathered at Satrap's Promnade in Myrra reveals a Hutt smuggler in Hunter's Canopy has the holodisc. Players can use Nix, Kay's companion, to stealthily steal it or engage in combat. The marker is on a small island in the Great Basin. Tracking from there leads to a shallow area under a cliff and up a ramp to the vault door. This vault is guarded by a turret that must be disabled. The prize inside is the Scoundrel Pants.
Tatooine's Two Vaults
Tatooine also contains two vaults. For the first, intel in Wayfair leads to a treasure hunter in the Western Dune Sea, near Pillar Forest. The area is patrolled by the Empire, and the treasure hunter is found deceased in a cave guarded by massiffs. After taking out the massiffs, Kay retrieves the holodisc. The marker is amidst a small group of rocks in the desert. Tracking leads southwest to a buried structure. Gaining entry requires using the blaster's Ion Module on a power cell. The vault contains the Scoundrel Jacket, an X-FP-C28 Ship Computer, and clues to the final vault.
The second Tatooine vault begins in Bestine, where a pilot's tip points to the Garrick Ranch in the South Jundland Wastes, a pirate stronghold. Players should be prepared for a fight. After clearing the area, a slicing kit is used on a port to enter a building and retrieve a damaged holodisc. The marker is near a triangular intersection and stone arch, close to trader Tretet Zadiket. The ensuing track is straightforward, ending at a vault that rewards a Sandcrawler Paint Job for Kay's speeder bike.
The Ultimate Secret: Toshara's Secret Vault
After all other vaults are cleared, ND-5 will analyze the accumulated data, uncovering Jet Kordo's best-kept secret: one more super-secret vault hidden within the very first vault on Toshara. Returning to the original location, now marked on the map, Kay uses a special holodisc prepared by ND-5 (found in the Trailblazer's workshop) to unlock a secret room. Inside the final chest, the quest concludes with the last "Jet Kordo's Legacy" journal entries and the ultimate, seemingly whimsical reward: the Cocktail Umbrella.
The Power of the Cocktail Umbrella 🍸
At first glance, a cocktail umbrella might seem like a joke item. However, in Star Wars Outlaws, the Cocktail Umbrella is a Major Charm with a profoundly powerful gameplay effect. When equipped, it acts as a universal wild card for every gear set in the game. This means Kay can gain a specific gear set's bonus passive abilities while wearing only two out of the three required pieces, with the Cocktail Umbrella counting as the missing third piece. This mechanic offers incredible flexibility:
-
Fills Gear Gaps: If you're missing one piece of a desired set, the Umbrella completes it.
-
Enables Hybrid Builds: It allows players to mix and match set bonuses creatively. For example, you could combine the damage reduction bonus from the Kijimi Explorer Gear set with the Stun Shot recharge speed bonus from the Scoundrel Belt, creating a customized, potent loadout.
This charm fundamentally changes gear optimization, rewarding completionists with a tool that enhances both versatility and power in the late game.
Conclusion
"Jet Kordo's Legacy" is more than a simple fetch quest; it's a curated tour through the game's diverse environments, wrapped in a tale of a scoundrel's hidden fortune.
