As you take greater risks against the Empire inStar Wars Outlaws, you may need to clear your Wanted Level to stop their near-endless pursuit of your crimes. Imperial forces will continue to come after you with waves of Stormtroopers, ISB Agents, and eventually ruthless Death Troopers. Unless you want your days to stay numbered, you need to find a way to reduce the heat you build as an outlaw.
Your Wanted status increases due to various illegal activities related to the Empire. Crimes like trespassing in an Imperial base, not leaving an Empire-designated area, attacking Imperial troops, orlockpicking places inStar Wars Outlawsowned by the Empire cause your Wanted level to rise. You’ll see a large"Wanted"icon appear on your screen when the Empire deems you a threat worth dealing with.
It’s worth noting that your Wanted Level istied only to the Empire. It is not the same as your Reputation with different factions, who send out bounty hunters after you if your relationship with them is low enough.

How Different Wanted Levels Work
Know How Much The Empire Throws At You
You’ll know when you’re Wanted by the Empire pretty quickly as you are caught in the act of some crime by Imperial soldiers. The first stages of being Wanted will usually start with you fighting your way through some basic Stormtroopers, with maybe an officer leading them. However, it can be hard to tell what else might come after you when this initial encounter begins to escalate.
You canget rid of low Wanted levels by simply hiding, especially if you manage to escape an initial confrontation quickly. For example, if you got a Wanted level by wiping out a small Imperial base, simply leave that area before reinforcements arrive. This should cause the arriving back-up to miss you and leave you to your own devices once again.
You canpay a fineto Imperial troopers to get rid of your low Wanted Levels, but the cost increases depending on how high your status is.
Those who don’t manage to hide from the Empire will see their Wanted status rise to new Levels. The Empire will start stopping vehicles at checkpoints looking for you when you are at higher Wanted Levels, making it hard to travel ondifferent planets inStar Wars Outlaws. As you are sought after more, stronger troopers will be sent to find you along with TIE Fighters, Scout Troopers, and other strong enemies.
Wanted Level 6 is the highest you can reach, where a Manhunt will be launched against you. Manhunts see Death Troopers, one of the strongest enemies in the game, appear to shoot you on sight wherever you go. These Troopers are commanded by an ISB Agent who will reside in a camp on whatever planet you are on to ensure your capture.

Description
Bribe An Imperial Officer
Every planet with major civilizations has at least one Corrupt Imperial Officer you can interact with to clear your Wanted Level. All you have to do is bribe this character with a certain number of credits to have them remove your Level from within Imperial systems.
Slice An Imperial Terminal
Imperial Terminals are usually within a base on one ofStar Wars Outlaws’many planet maps. By sneaking past the Stormtroopers and Officers in these locations, you can find a Terminal and solve its mini-game puzzle to reset your Wanted status.
Hack An Imperial Satellite
When in space, you’re able to hack a Satellite orbiting a planet to remove your Wanted level. This can only be done if your ship isn’t attacked, as this will interrupt and cancel the process.
Raid The Death Trooper Camp
If you reach max Wanted Level 6, you have to defeat the ISB agent controlling the Death Troopers hunting you. This figure is always at the base where the Death Troopers spawn, which can be hard to attack considering how tough these enemies are. When you kill the Agent, use their keycard to access a Terminal inside the Death Trooper base to remove your Wanted Level.
Corrupt Imperial Officers, Terminals, Satellites, and Death Trooper camps are usually all marked on your map as you explore different systems. Don’t be afraid to explore or talk to NPCs to find ways to expand your map to include these important places or people. When you clear your Wanted Level inStar Wars Outlaws, you have a clean slate to interfere with the Empire again, until you get caught again.
