Nix, Kay's loyal alien companion, thrives on more than just adventure; he appreciates a good treat. Discover what Nix enjoys and how feeding him these special items can benefit your journey through the Outer Rim.
Nix's Favorite Things
Nix is an active and intelligent creature, and like many companions, he responds positively to rewards. In Star Wars Outlaws, these rewards come in the form of 'Nix Treats.' These are special items that Kay can find or acquire, which she can then offer to Nix.
What are Nix Treats?
Nix Treats are consumable items scattered throughout the galaxy. They can be found in various locations, such as:
- Lootable Containers: Often found in crates, lockers, or on defeated enemies.
- Purchased from Vendors: Some merchants in cantinas or markets might sell Nix Treats.
- Quest Rewards: Completing certain side quests or objectives could reward Kay with Nix Treats.
The Benefits of Feeding Nix
Offering Nix Treats is not just a cosmetic gesture; it has tangible gameplay benefits. When Kay feeds Nix a treat, it can:
- Boost Nix's Abilities: A well-fed Nix might perform his actions with greater efficiency or for a longer duration. This could mean faster item retrieval, more effective distractions, or enhanced combat support.
- Improve Nix's Morale/Loyalty: While not explicitly a loyalty system, a happy Nix is likely a more helpful Nix. This could translate to him being more proactive in assisting Kay.
- Unlock Special Interactions: In some instances, feeding Nix might unlock unique animations or brief, charming interactions between Kay and her companion.
- Temporary Buffs: It's possible that feeding Nix could grant Kay a very short-term buff, such as a slight increase in her own stealth or combat effectiveness, as Nix becomes more energized.
Types of Nix Treats (Speculative)
While specific item names are not yet detailed, it's reasonable to expect variety:
| Treat Type (Speculative) | Potential Effect |
|---|---|
| Sparkling Grub | Slightly enhances Nix's distraction abilities. |
| Crispy Critter | Improves Nix's speed in retrieving small items. |
| Glow-Worm Paste | Boosts Nix's effectiveness in combat support. |
| Rare Space Fruit | Provides a more significant, albeit temporary, boost to all Nix abilities. |
Strategic Use of Nix Treats
consider when to use their Nix Treats. Saving them for critical moments can be beneficial:
- Before a Stealth Infiltration: Feed Nix a treat to ensure his distractions are as effective as possible, allowing Kay to bypass guards more easily.
- During a Difficult Combat Encounter: A boosted Nix can provide crucial support, helping to turn the tide of a tough fight.
- When Needing to Retrieve Items Quickly: If you're on a tight timer or need a specific item fast, a treat can speed up Nix's retrieval.
Keep an eye out for these valuable consumables. A happy Nix is a more capable Nix, and in the dangerous Outer Rim, every advantage counts.
