Star Wars Outlaws Fathier Racing: How to Win Fixed Races Without Losing Your Credits
Look, I’ll admit it: the first time I stumbled across a Fathier Racing table in Star Wars Outlaws, I thought Kay Vess had found some weird Outer Rim screensaver. Then I realized those lanky, galloping space-horses are basically the galaxy’s answer to real-life horse racing — and where there’s betting, there’s a chance to turn a handful of Credits into a whole lot of trouble. And credits, obviously.
As of 2026, the Fathier hustle still works the same. It’s a little bit of underworld flavor, a little bit of gambling, and a whole lot of “please, please, please win this race.” If you’re looking to make some easy money — or at least avoid walking away with empty pockets — here’s my first-person, slightly traumatized guide to Fathier Racing and how to win fixed races.
Fathier Racing Explained (From Someone Who Lost a Few Bets)
Fathier Racing is a betting sport in Star Wars Outlaws. If there’s a track nearby, you’ll see a small Fathier icon on your map. Follow it, and you’ll find a holotable projecting an upcoming race. Don’t expect a polite announcer or a mint julep — just a table, a console, and the quiet judgment of whichever Fathier you don’t pick.
Interact with the console on the side of the table to open the Fathier Racing menu. On the left, you’ll see the lineup of Fathiers for the next race. You can scroll through each racer to check their profile. I cannot stress this enough: read the profile. The first time I bet purely on vibes, my Fathier finished so far behind it might as well have been on a different planet.
The profile gives you three key pieces of info:
-
Form – the overall current mood. Is this Fathier thriving or just going through the motions?
-
Race History – placements for the last six races. If I see six first-place finishes, I start hearing credit sounds.
-
Details – rider name, gender, age, height, and weight. This is more useful than it sounds, especially for fixed races.
Once you’ve picked your space-horse, place your bet. If it wins, you get paid based on your wager; if it loses, you get a nice lesson in humility and zero Credits. But here’s the thing: there’s a way to stack the deck. Or the stable, I guess.
How to Win Fixed Fathier Races (The Sneaky Way)
You’ll know a race is fixed if a notification pops up in the top right corner saying “Fixed Race.” It’s incredibly subtle. Ubisoft really trusts your reading comprehension.
When you see that, the race isn’t decided by speed or stamina — it’s decided by a tip-off. That tip-off is usually hidden on a datapad somewhere in the area. It might mention the winning rider’s name, the Fathier’s weight, or some other clue. So if you want to guarantee a win, you need to go full detective mode.
Here’s my step-by-step for not being a sucker:
-
Find the Fathier table and interact with it. Check for the “Fixed Race” sign.
-
Read every datapad you stumble across while exploring. I mean it. No skipping flavor text.
-
When you find the tip-off, write it down or screenshot it. It does not go into your Journal. Ask me how I know. Actually, don’t. I’m still bitter.
-
Match the clue to a Fathier profile. If the tip says “rider is a Twi’lek female,” scroll until you find her.
-
Bet on that Fathier and try not to look too smug when it crosses the finish line.
Quick Reference: What to Look For
| Fathier Profile Field | Why You Should Care |
|---|---|
| Form | Tells you if the Fathier is in shape or just in the race for emotional support. |
| Race History | Six placements. Consistent top-three? That’s my kind of underdog. |
| Details | Rider name, gender, age, height, weight. The fixed-race clue usually lives here. |
Don’t Be Like Me
The fixed race is basically a gift from the Outer Rim’s least ethical bookies. But the trick isn’t finding a fixed race — it’s remembering the clue. I once found a datapad that said something like “the gray Fathier with the scarred rider wins.” I nodded confidently, walked to the table, and then realized I’d already forgotten which rider had a scar. Spoiler: I bet wrong. Don’t be me.
The bottom line? Fathier Racing in Star Wars Outlaws is a fun mini-game with a surprisingly reliable way to make Credits if you pay attention. Read the datapads, keep your screenshots, and for the love of all that is scoundrel-y, write down the tip-off. Your future credit pouch will thank you.
