How to Win Fathier Races in Star Wars Outlaws

Winner Father’s races In Star Wars Outlaws is just one of the many ways to earn credits without much effort. After all, you’re not racing, you’re just making a bet and watching your credits multiply. But how do you know who the winner will be?

With Fathier races and betting being rooted in the criminal underworld of Star Wars, many races are rigged. If you can track down the race clue yourself, you can bet on the Fathier winner and profit from it as well. The first Fathier race you can win is very early in the game, when you’re on Canto Bight, but you’ll find other clues and betting boards throughout the galaxy.

The first time you encounter a racing tip is when you meet Valek while you’re still in Canto Bight. He’s too busy to go place a bet, but he gives you a racing tip so you can place one for him, even though you’re clearly going to steal it for yourself. All of Fathier’s running tips are randomizedso when you read the datapad next to him, it will say something different to you than it does to me.

Usually, it gives you a description that allows you to recognize the winner, whether it’s their name or a defining characteristic like their gender, height, weight, or planet of origin. The characteristic in question will be in bold. For example, my advice was:

I heard that the safest bet now would be on the the heaviest of fathers.

The most important thing: Note what the advice wasFor some reason the game doesn’t seem to save this information anywhere and the datapad will disappear when you return.

Once you have received the hint from Valek, return to the Broken Hoof Canteen where the game started and activate the betting table on the left near the entrance. If you have forgotten the hint, a box in the top right will at least tell you what the hint is for, even if it does not tell you the hint itself.

Look at each Fathier, choose the one that matches your tip and make sure to bet the biggest amount possible to maximize your winningsThe information in the detailed section is represented like this:

Jockey – home planet
Gender – age – height – weight

Use them to choose the right Father from the councils and victory, along with some credits, will be yours.

Fathier’s Race Tips Locations

You can find more of Fathier’s Advanced Datapads in certain locations, but generally they seem to be located in Syndicate vaults, such as the Pyke Syndicate vault in their Mirogana district or the Crimson Dawn vault in theirs. The odd thing is that new tips seem to reappear periodically in these vault locationsalthough I’m not 100% sure what triggers this, beyond just coming back after a while.

Another source is specific characters. If you return to Fathier’s betting table in Mirogana often, you will encounter a disgruntled former jockey named Morin Bryte, who will offer to give you a tip on the race if you pay him a few credits, and this will also be listed as a relevant piece of information. When you bet using this information, you can get a reminder of the exact information.
