How to shoot on a Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws
Star Wars speeder combat and gunplay is all based on adrenaline
Wondering how to shoot on a Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws? Combat from your bike is basic at best, so if you're not sure how it works it's because you can't really fire a gun in the normal sense, only use your adrenaline ability to mark targets. It means it's worth explaining what that actually means and how you can use it to fight back, so here's how to shoot from a Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws.
Shooting on a Speeder in Star Wars Outlaws explained
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.
