Star Wars Outlaws break walls - ND-5

When you point your blaster at the rock wall you might notice that your aiming reticule shows a little yellow explosion symbol, implying there’s an upgrade you can use to break through these barriers and continue your exploration. Here’s how to get said upgrade and use it to open those sealed caves and passages.

Star Wars Outlaws break walls - Charging the Power Bolt

To smash through a stone wall in Star Wars Outlawsyou’re going to need Power Bolt. This is an upgrade that you can add to your blaster, but unlike a lot of the other abilities that only come through experts, it’ll unlock at a certain point in the story through ND-5. After you meet the commando droid, ND-5, and leave Toshara for your first chosen destination, you’ll have to complete the first part of any ofThe Droidsmith,The Safecracker, orThe Heavyquests on Myrra, Kijimi, or Tatooine respectively.

No matter which you choose, ND-5 will contact you after the initial part of the quest and tell you that he has an upgrade to give you which startsThe Gunsmithquest. Head back to the Trailblazer and speak to ND-5 to unlock the option to craft the Power Bolt upgrade at the blaster modification table.

To actually use Power Bolt, you simply need to hold the switch blaster modes button that you usually press to change to your ion blaster module and aim at the wall in question before charging and firing the shot. As mentioned,you can only destroy walls that show a little blast symbol when you aim at them, but these are easy to spot since they generally block cave entrances or other doorways while you’re out exploring planets.
