More of the plethora of crafting materials in Star Wars Outlaws can be found simply by exploring its open world as much as possible – finding them lying about in cities, syndicate territories, chests, and even in the inventory of merchants you can buy from.

If you need more of a certain component for upgrading an ability, like Polycarbonate for the Smoke Bomb or Coarseweave for the Ironshirt ability, the game will also helpfully tell you in its section of the “Materials” section of the “Inventory” menu.

Some materials can only be obtained in certain areas. Direct-Energy Circuits can only be found in syndicate-controlled areas, for example. Another is the Actuating Module – a Blaster material that can only be found in Imperial territories or stashes hidden by smugglers.

Altogether, by using each component’s description to determine any location specifics and exploring the game as much as possible, you’ll find enough Star Wars Outlaws materials like Coarseweave and Ironweave for upgrades like the Armored Undershirt ability in no time.
