Star Wars Outlaws lets you make decisions that will either make you a hero or a zero (or somewhere in between). One quest that’s bound to have you scratching your head is “The Broker.” This mission is full of choices that could make or break your standing with different factions. So, this guide breaks down the choices you face and whom should you give the pearl.
Should You Bribe the Imperial Officer in Star Wars Outlaws?
Once you’ve snatched the clam and made your way back to Danka, you will have an Imperial Officer standing in your way.
Option 1: Bribe the Officer
For 500 credits, you can smooth-talk your way out and leave the building without raising a fuss. Sure, Danka might give you the stink-eye, but it’s better than dealing with angry stormtroopers.
Option 2: Refuse the Bribe
However, if there is a rebellion thing in your nature, you can skip the bribe. However, this will earn you a Wanted level, and you’ll have to encounter stormtroopers waiting outside to take action the moment you step your foot out. So, be alert and make a quick exit, either by running or through your speeder. The bribe might seem like a rip-off, but it’s cheaper than the ticket to a stormtrooper beatdown.
In the grand scheme of things, whatever way you choose to get through the situation, it doesn’t have any impact on the quest. It’s just that you will do the hard work for a safe escape and the amount of credits will depend on which decision you made inside.
Should You Give the Pearl to the Ashiga Clan or Crimson Dawn?
After dealing with the officer and wrapping up the main part of the quest, it’s time for the big decision: who gets the pearl? This item piece can be handed over in a few different ways, and each choice has its perks.
1. Giving Pearl to Crimson Dawn
Handing the pearl over to Crimson Dawn will give you a great reputation boost with them. It’s a solid move if you’re looking to befriend this faction and maybe get some future favors.
2. Giving Pearl to Ashiga
If you want to level your standing with Ashiga, this is your move as you’ll get a decent reputation boost. Furthermore, you’ll also have some reputation bump by completing their mission. So, it’s a win-win if Ashiga is your faction of choice.
3. Keeping the Pearl Yourself
If you require quick credits, keeping the pearl might be the best choice. You can sell it at any vendor for 2,000 credits. It’s a great way to pad your wallet, especially if you’re low on funds. Even without giving the pearl, you’ll still gain an increase in reputation with Ashiga by finishing the task.
At the end of the day, your choice doesn’t directly affect your game’s storyline but will influence your reputation and credit stash. Whether you’re looking to make friends, earn some credits, or enjoy the thrill of the chase, there’s a choice here for every kind of player.
