Mastering the Arcades: My Hilarious Quest for the 'There Is No Try' Trophy in Star Wars Outlaws

Let me tell you, being an outlaw in the galaxy is no walk in the park, or should I say, no casual stroll through Mos Eisley. Between dodging blaster fire, sweet-talking syndicate bosses, and making sure my fuzzy little buddy Nix doesn't eat anything too explosive, I needed a break. A real, honest-to-goodness, put-your-feet-up kind of break. That's when I discovered the arcades scattered across the major cities in Star Wars Outlaws. And folks, let me be clear: these pixelated pit stops are not just for fun. They are a battlefield for your pride and, more importantly, a direct path to the coveted "There Is No Try" Trophy/Achievement. Yoda wasn't kidding around with that name, let me tell you. As of 2026, this is still the definitive guide for anyone looking to add that shiny digital badge to their collection without losing their sanity. So, grab a virtual soda, and let's dive into my, frankly, ridiculous journey to arcade supremacy.

The arcade cabinets, bless their retro hearts, come in two flavors: Raven 6 and Runner. They look like they were salvaged from a 1980s Earth diner, complete with those tantalizingly high scores already taunting you from the screen. My first thought? "Challenge accepted." My second thought, after about five minutes of Runner? "This game is trying to send me to an early Jedi funeral." So, I did what any wise, slightly lazy scoundrel would do: I took the path of least resistance. Raven 6 is, by galactic standards, the easier of the two to conquer for that trophy. It's the Womp Rat in the tutorial level, while Runner is the rancor in the pit. We're starting with the womp rat, people.

How To Absolutely Crush Raven 6 (My Not-So-Secret Secrets)

1. Pay Attention, Buckethead! (Prioritize Those Targets)

This ain't just blasting willy-nilly. Raven 6 throws ships and asteroids at you, and your score multiplies the longer you survive without getting hit. The key? Target prioritization is your new religion.

Here's my holy checklist, inspired by the legendary wolker4 on YouTube:

• Destroy Every Ship in a Line: When you see a neat little convoy of enemy ships flying in formation, that's not a threat; that's a points piñata. Obliterate them all for a sweet combo bonus. It's like shooting banthas in a barrel.

• Asteroids Are Public Enemy Number One: Seriously, these space rocks are sneaky. Take them out early and often. Let one get too close, and bam—there goes your multiplier and your dignity. Think of them as the universe's most annoying mosquitoes.

• The Bomb Button Is Not a Toy: You have a limited supply of screen-clearing bombs. Do not waste them when there are only one or two targets. Save these bad boys for when the screen looks like a TIE fighter convention gone wrong, or when you're milliseconds away from a catastrophic collision. It's your "Get Out of Jail Free" card. Use it wisely.

2. Rhythm is a Scoundrel's Best Friend

The game starts slow, lulling you into a false sense of security. Don't be fooled! It ramps up faster than a podracer on Boonta Eve. Find a rhythm: shoot, dodge, shoot, dodge. It becomes a zen-like state. Or, you know, a panicked, sweaty-palmed state. Potato, potahto.

Once you've bagged that trophy in Raven 6 and your ego is sufficiently inflated, you can look at the Runner cabinet with a smug grin. Or, you know, just walk away and enjoy the rest of the galaxy. The choice is yours! Speaking of choices, here's a quick, handy-dandy comparison I made because I'm a nerd like that:

Now, after all that arcade madness, you might need to unwind. The great thing about Star Wars Outlaws in 2026 is the sheer volume of side hustles. Feeling lucky? You can bet on Fathier Races—it's simulated gambling, so no real credits lost, but the thrill is real! Or, you can go back to being a proper outlaw: pulling heists on the major Syndicates, taking on shady side missions, and generally causing beautiful chaos across the open-world planets.

But through it all, remember the most important mission of all: take care of Nix. That little critter is the real MVP of this whole adventure. Give him a pet, feed him a snack, let him fetch you something shiny. A happy Nix is a productive Nix, and in our line of work, you need all the help you can get.

So there you have it, my fellow galactic gamers. The arcade trophy is within reach. Remember the tips, embrace the chaos, and may the high score be with you! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a slot machine in Canto Bight... I mean, a very important syndicate negotiation. Totally.
