How to Pickpocket in Star Wars Outlaws

To successfully pickpocket in Star Wars Outlaws, you will need to leverage Nix to identify suitable targets and send your trusty companion to discreetly snatch valuables from them.

To initiate this process, look at the bottom left corner of your screen for the command prompt that allows you to give Nix instructions. By pressing and holding the designated Pet Command button, you enable Nix to detect pickpocketing opportunities.

Pet Command Prompts by Platform

• PS5 – L1
• Xbox – LB
• PC – Q

When you are near appropriate pickpocketing targets, they will be highlighted in blue and feature a small Nix icon. Position your cursor over these targets until the ‘Steal’ command prompt appears.

Once you have identified a target, use the command to send Nix over to execute the steal. Be cautious to maintain a safe distance so as not to arouse suspicion.

As Nix approaches the target, another command prompt will appear. Quickly tap the indicated button to command Nix to pilfer the item. While the target is momentarily confused, Nix will dash back to you with the stolen goods.

If you happen to miss the prompt, don’t fret. In areas where syndicates do not dominate, Nix will simply return empty-handed. However, in syndicate-controlled regions, a failed attempt might draw attention, potentially leading the target to investigate your location.

After a successful pickpocket, all that’s left is to collect the items from Nix. And don’t forget to give Nix some praise for a job well done!
