​​Wondering how to shoot on a Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws? Kay’s speeder is an excellent way of travelling quickly around the galaxy. While combat from your bike is basic at best, if you're not sure exactly how it works, it’s going to be a lot more difficult. Especially since you can’t really fire a gun in the normal sense anyway. You’ll need to harness your adrenaline ability to mark targets, but we’ll delve into what we mean by that below. It’s a handy little mechanism that’ll get you out of some tricky situations, so here’s how to shoot from a Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws.

Star Wars Outlaws guides

There's a Star Wars Outlaws crashed speeder to find on Toshara that isn't yours but does have some rewards worth tracking down. 

You can only shoot from a Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws with the Adrenaline Rush ability, which allows you to mark and fire at multiple targets in one go. There is no other way to shoot while on your speeder so you can't freely return fire while under attack. 

The Adrenaline Rush in Star Wars Outlaws charges automatically when you're in danger, but it speeds up when you do tricks like using the booster or jump (unlocked through one of the Star Wars Outlaws Experts), or when you take damage. Ultimately though, in Speeder combat you're just trying to survive to the point where your Adrenaline Rush is charged, then use that to kill the enemies going after you.

There is an alternative though - just get off the Speeder and shoot them normally. Enemies on Speeders tend to be pretty weak in terms of health, and they'll dismount to attack you, giving you the chance to blast them as they do. If things get hairy, just leap back onto your own Speeder and drive away again.

He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe.
