To find the Star Wars Outlaws Counterfeit Credits for the Pyke Syndicate, you'll need to do a spot of investigating in order to identify where the fake currency is coming from. It starts with revealing the market trader circulating it, but unlike some of the other missions with clearer objectives, you're just given an area to search to reveal who it is. If you're finding your detective skills aren’t quite up to the task, then here's how to reveal the market trader and find the Star Wars Outlaws Counterfeit Credits.
How to start the Star Wars Outlaws Counterfeit Credits quest
To start the Star Wars Outlaws Counterfeit Credits quest, you need to have good reputation with the Pyke Syndicate, as without it the required NPC will not be available. Head to the location in the Mirogana Pyke Syndicate territory marked on the map above, and you'll find a Pyke sat in the bar area between Contract Broker Roba Barev and the Star Wars Outlaws Sabacc table. Get chatting with them and they'll tell you counterfeit credits are currently circulating in Pyke market, and ask you as an outsider to investigate on their behalf. You'll receive the Market Trader intel in your journal, which will direct you to an area of the Pyke market.
How to reveal the market trader with counterfeit credits in Star Wars Outlaws
So you know that you need to identify the market trader using counterfeit credits in Star Wars Outlaws, but the intel simply tells you to search the area and says "shopping around in the market could reveal who it is" which isn't very clear. However, you just need to get the trader to give you credits, so you can check to see if they're fake, which means selling something.
To do this, approach Hen Puon (the Merchant on the east side of the market area) and choose to sell something – ideally a valuable marked as having no use and is safe to sell, but if you don't have that then either go and do some pickpocketing with Nix or sell a material you have plenty of. Kay will identify the credits she gets for the sale as counterfeit, then confront the Merchant who will reveal their source. This will lead you to the Soup Kitchen in Crimson Dawn District, where you can complete the second part of this quest in Star Wars Outlaws.
Now you need to infiltrate the Crimson Dawn District, which will involve climbing in through the vent near the guarded entrance if you don't have a good reputation with that group. Sneak through the back of the soup kitchen into the rear area, then take out the guard on the balcony.
From there, vault down from the balcony to the floor below, then work your way counter-clockwise around the outside of the area to infiltrate the raised Restricted Area platform. While avoiding the two patrolling guards, send Nix to hold the lever then quickly pass under the large fan while it's stopped spinning.
You can then climb down the ladder into the Crimson Dawn Vault, where you'll find a crate full of counterfeit credits. It's then a decision whether to warn the Crimson Dawn their operation has been compromised or report what you've found to the Pykes, once you've left the area.
You can now climb back up the ladder, jump off the balcony above the vault, then head up the stairs and out of the area via the soup kitchen (and vent if necessary). Report your findings to the relevant group and the Star Wars Outlaws Counterfeit Credits quest will be complete. As to which one you choose, it depends on which of the Star Wars Outlaws Factions you want to improve your reputation with.
In our Star Wars Outlaws review we described it as "An exceedingly fun Star Wars game that's hindered by poor stealth systems", however the immersive experience it provides means it's still one of the best Star Wars games.
