Mastering Sabacc: How to Cheat Your Way to Victory in Star Wars Outlaws
The game introduces you to cheating techniques during your first Sabacc game. You’ll have your earliest chance to play in Makal’s Gambling Parlor in Mirogana, located just across from the Fathier Racing station. It appears there are three primary methods for cheating in Kessel Sabacc, with more tricks available as you explore the world.
If your cheating attempt backfires, you can use the Fast-Talk skill, which you learn from Bram, to make a quick excuse and avoid getting into trouble. However, be cautious-if you get caught cheating, your opponents will become more suspicious, and you might end up banned from the table.
Cheat with Nix
At first, Nix is your sole cheating tool in Sabacc. You can use him to peek at other players’ hands. To do this, press Up on your controller or W on your keyboard to send Nix to spy on an opponent’s cards.
To cheat successfully, you’ll need to time it just right by pressing the button or key when the rings overlap in the center of the circle, as shown in the image. Remember, however, that an opponent’s hand might change if they decide to use chips to draw new cards.
How to Execute the Double Draw with Plan A
The Plan A ability gives Kay the power to execute the Double Draw cheat, allowing her to pull two cards in a single draw. When the prompt appears during the draw phase, accept it to start a mini-game where you must keep the icon within the colored zone to avoid detection.
If successful, Kay can conceal the second card and hold onto it for as long as needed. You can swap in the hidden card at any moment or discard both cards simultaneously to revert to a standard two-card hand. This cheat is particularly useful when you’re low on chips.
Plan A becomes available after completing The High Roller quest on Akiva. To begin, head to the high roller table near the cantina in Myrra. You can bluff your way into the high roller room, then approach the table to meet the High Roller. Retrieve his Sabacc token from a table on Kijimi and return it to him to finish the quest and unlock this powerful ability.
