Resource Management (Stims & Force) — Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Guide

Resource Management (Stims & Force)

Effective resource management is critical for survival in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Cal's primary resources are his health, which is replenished by Stim Canisters carried by BD-1, and his Force meter, which fuels his Jedi abilities. Balancing the use of these resources, especially during challenging combat encounters and exploration, is key to overcoming obstacles.

Stim Canisters are Cal's primary healing items. BD-1 carries a limited number of these, and their supply is replenished by resting at Meditation Circles. However, resting also causes enemies to respawn, creating a strategic trade-off. You can increase the number of Stim Canisters they can carry by finding specific upgrades scattered throughout the game world. These upgrades are often hidden and require careful exploration.

Managing Health and Stims

• Stim Canister Upgrades: Prioritize finding these to increase your healing capacity. They are often found in chests.
• Meditation Circles: Use these to rest and replenish Stims, but be aware of enemy respawns.
• Strategic Use: Save Stims for critical moments in combat or when facing difficult environmental hazards.
• BD-1's Role: BD-1 administers the Stims, so ensure he is in a safe position when healing.

Managing Force Power

Cal's Force meter dictates how many Force abilities he can use consecutively. It regenerates over time, but can be quickly refilled by defeating enemies or by using specific Force abilities. Certain Force powers consume more of the meter than others, so players must be mindful of their usage, especially during prolonged engagements.

Understanding the ebb and flow of both health and Force resources is paramount. Players who effectively manage these elements will find themselves better equipped to handle the game's demanding combat and exploration challenges, ultimately leading to a smoother and more successful playthrough.
