Star Wars Outlaws

At the center of Star Wars Outlaws’ general gameplay mechanics is the Syndicate system, where you’ll do work for one of the game’s 4 factions in order to further your status in the world, and importantly, get more credits.

Getting Good or Excellent reputation with the Hutt Cartel has a few gameplay benefits:

• Firstly, it’ll allow you safe passage into all Hutt Cartel territories - if you’re in Poor standing or less, you’ll have to sneak in and avoid all guards and what not.
• This will allow you access to that region’s Vendors as well.
• If you’re in good stead with a faction, you’ll also get a discount when you shop with them.
• The better your standing, the more access to jobs (i.e. Contracts) you’ll get.
• And finally, you’ll also receive one-time rewards when you climb the ranks for the first time. For instance, Hutt Cartel rewards the following rewards as you climb the ranks:
  • Boonta Brawling Coating for your Blaster at Good.
  • Hutt Cartel Crest (Minor Charm) and Blaster Parts Bundle for Excellent.
  • Boonta Brawler Tunic, Belt, Trousers and Boonta Brawler Splash (for Nix) at max rank.

While Syndicate missions will provide the quickest way to boost a Syndicate’s reputation, it’ll also anger other factions in the crossfire. And because there are 4 Syndicate maximum reputation achievements, that’s not ideal. So, the best way to get ahead is Contracts (you need to do 40 for the Honest work (15G) achievement anyway).

Also, as a side note, I know the achievement description says “maximum” reputation, it doesn’t actually mean “maximum.” It means to reach the “Excellent” reputation.

So, all you need to do is get the Hutt Cartel rank to Excellent once, and the ‘What you see is what you get’ achievement is all yours.
