If you need help with The Outer Worlds 2 then we've got all the guides you can possibly need for this action RPG from Obsidian, the same studio that also brought us Avowed and Grounded 2. Playing as an Earth Directorate agent you'll be meeting companions, fighting evil and trying to save the universe. There's a lot to do, a lot of ways to do and it's easy to get overwhelmed.

So below you'll find all our guides for the game to help with character creation, walkthroughs for quests and more to point you in the right direction. You can read our Outer Worlds 2 review to see what we think of it overall, but if you want help with all the decisions, skills, perks, choosing a background and more, then we've got it all covered it.
