Star Wars Outlaws Sabotage Guide – Operations Building Keycard and Double Cross the Hutts or Not

Sabotage starts with a call from the Hutt Cartel right after Underworld. You break into the Pyke Poaching Station, steal the client data and sabotage the generator, but first Monda asks you to double cross the Hutts.

Syndicate Quest: Sabotage (Step 1 of 6)
Location: Makal’s Gambling Parlor, western Mirogana – Toshara
Quest Text: “Word about Kay Vess has gotten around on Toshara. A Hutt Cartel enforcer has a job for her.”

After Underworld, a Hutt enforcer calls Kay with a job. Select the quest in your journal to put a marker above his head, then head into Makal’s Gambling Parlor. He leans against a pillar inside the cantina.

The enforcer is Verrick. He wants you to steal a client list from a Pyke Syndicate factory farm in The Lost Steppe and sabotage the place on the way out.

Syndicate Quest: Sabotage (Step 2 of 6)
Location: North of the Pyke Poaching Station, The Lost Steppe – Toshara
Quest Text: “After discovering the Pyke Syndicate intruding on Jabba’s creature smuggling business, a Hutt Cartel enforcer named Verrick hires Kay to steal their client list and sabotage their factory.”

The contact waits in the far southwest of the Toshara map. If you already have the Pyke Poaching Station landing zone, fast travel there to save the ride.

Follow the road north of the station and climb the wall at its end. You pass the Amberine Cave treasure site there. Go through the narrow cave passage to reach the contact.

The contact is Monda. She explains the job: get into the operations building, take the client list and plant a bomb on the generator to shut down the whole operation. Then she hands you the Baradium Bomb.

Syndicate Quest: Sabotage (Step 3 of 6)
Location: Pyke Poaching Station, The Lost Steppe – Toshara

Your target is the operations building on top of the hill at the Pyke Poaching Station. How much sneaking you need depends on your Pyke Syndicate reputation:

  • Good reputation (for example after telling Gorak in Underworld): you can walk through most of the station. Only the restricted area around the operations building needs sneaking. Stay undetected to keep your standing.
  • Bad reputation: the whole blue restricted area of the station is off limits, so sneak in all the way.

Steal the Operations Building Keycard

The building is locked and needs the Operations Building Keycard. Steal it from one of the guards in the restricted area. I took mine from one of the two guards standing together in the storage area shown below.

Syndicate Quest: Sabotage (Step 4 of 6)
Location: Operations building, Pyke Poaching Station, The Lost Steppe – Toshara

Check the larger room at the entrance first. A datapad there holds the Pyke Syndicate Vault intel. The Pyke Syndicate Vault guide shows where to find all three vault keycards.

Then go into the smaller room on the left side of the entrance:

  • Treasure Chest (Gear: Begamor Ruffian Belt) on your right
  • Pyke Client Data on the table next to the hologram on your left

As soon as you take the data, Monda walks in. She reveals that she works for Crimson Dawn and wants the client list for them.

Double Cross the Hutts or Finish the Job?

You now decide who gets the client data. The choice does not change the main story, only your syndicate reputation and how the quest ends:

  • Finish the job: Monda will not let you walk away, so you fight her. Your Hutt Cartel reputation goes up and your Crimson Dawn reputation goes down.
  • Double cross the Hutts: you hand the list to Monda and skip the fight. Your Crimson Dawn reputation goes up.

I finished the job for the Hutt Cartel, which meant a fight with Monda. If you want Crimson Dawn on your side for the next main quest, New Tricks, take Monda’s offer instead.

Syndicate Quest: Sabotage (Step 5 of 6)
Location: Operations building basement, Pyke Poaching Station, The Lost Steppe – Toshara

The generator is in the basement of the operations building. Plant the bomb on it, and the timer turns out much shorter than expected. Kay and Nix need another way out.

Escape Through the Roof

Send Nix to open the only sealed door in the basement, shown below.

Climb the ladder across from the door. Override the vent lock on the next level and crawl through the vent. A second ladder at the far end leads to a small space under the roof. Open the hatch above you to reach the roof just before the bomb goes off.

Syndicate Quest: Sabotage (Step 6 of 6)
Location: Pyke Poaching Station, The Lost Steppe – Toshara

Move away from the facility until Kay gets a call from her contact. Who that is depends on whether you finished the job or double crossed the Hutts, and the quest completes after the call.

The next main quest is New Tricks. More Pyke Syndicate loot waits in the Pyke Syndicate Vault in Mirogana.

-> 5 – New Tricks

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
