STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™ Unlockables: 20 Favors

How do you unlock every Racer Style?

You unlock campaign Racer Styles by completing events, accumulating specific racing actions, or finishing the campaign as Galactic League champion. Survivor is your starting style after the opening; the others have distinct requirements.

The table separates first unlock from Rank 2 and Rank 3 upgrades. For those upgrades, equip the style at the start of a Galactic Tour and perform its required action while using it.

Use the Logbook to read the rank and Next Rank requirement. A Redliner entry showing two stars and Use Ramjet for 779/920s is progress toward Rank 3. A one-star Weaponized entry showing Achieve 0/24 Takedowns is progress toward Rank 2. Neither number is the initial unlock requirement. Tenacious can show three stars, MASTERED, and Reached the championship with this Racer Style.

Tenacious: recommended if finishing events is the problem

Complete 4 events without worrying about winning them. Tenacious starts races with Autopilot and allows one extra crash per race, so it gives you more room to survive while working toward other rewards. Chasing a risky takedown when you only need a finish adds danger without helping this unlock.

Redliner or Ramjet Rider: choose the boost behavior you want

Redliner strengthens Ramjet use in the red zone; Ramjet Rider starts with Vent and makes Cooled more effective. The first rewards pushing peak power, while the second supports more consistent Ramjet use. Check the correct entry's requirement rather than treating their shared upgrade thresholds as shared unlock thresholds.

Brawler or Weaponized: choose according to campaign progress

Brawler becomes available after 20 takedowns and starts you with Ion Bolt. Weaponized requires the championship, so grinding its 24-takedown upgrade target before beating Kestar will not replace that prerequisite. Both support offensive racing, but Brawler is the reachable option while you are still working through the story.

How do you unlock all 20 Favors?

You unlock all 20 Favors through story progress, Field Tests, Backer ratings, rival victories, purchases, and Mystery Encounters in the Galactic Tour. Several depend on random map events, so a single Tour cannot guarantee the whole collection.

For rival Favors, repeatedly place Side Bets against the same racer on one planet. Continue betting and beating them on the next planet until the head-to-head challenge appears, then win that race. The head-to-head event is your checkpoint: a routine Sidebet win alone does not complete the Favor route.

Backer Favors need both good race results and the challenges assigned at the start of each planet. Check that your overall rating is Satisfactory when you reach Derven Acos. Simply choosing The Hutt, The Broker, or The Pirate does not satisfy the full condition.

For a steady early route, collect the unmissable Clandestine Aid after Act 1 and take Hibi's Field Tests when they appear. Gadgeteer gives you room for another Part, while Feet First later supplies an Ability Pack without a shop purchase. Favors can rank up twice through use in Galactic Tours; see STAR WARS Galactic Racer Favors for their upgraded benefits.

How do you unlock more abilities?

Buy an Ability Pack from Hibi's Shop during a Tour for 2,500 Credits, or earn one occasionally through planet-map event rewards. The pack presents a choice; selecting an ability you lack unlocks it for you to equip.

1. Visit Hibi's Shop on the current planet and look for the Ability Pack.
2. Compare its 2,500-Credit cost with repairs and vehicle-stat upgrades you need to keep the Tour alive.
3. Choose the ability you want from the pack. Confirm the result by checking that you can equip it to your vehicle between each planet's series of races.

Packs can also offer upgraded versions of abilities you already own. The basic set includes Autopilot, Concussion Mine, Ion Bolt, Ion Blast, Shield, Shockwave, Status Scrubber, Surge, and Vent. Some Racer Styles provide starting abilities too, so check your style before paying for a pack solely to obtain an effect you already start with.

Repairing a fault can be the steadier purchase when your vehicle is struggling. An extra ability is useful only if you survive long enough to use it. Compare the effects on STAR WARS Galactic Racer abilities before committing your Credits.

What multiplayer rank unlocks each racer?

Shade is listed as available by default, and the character list assigns the other racers rank targets up to Multiplayer Rank 40. The individual targets below still need game-screen confirmation.

Two descriptions differ in scope: on October 11, 2026, styles outside the campaign are described as already unlocked or preset according to the event; on October 6, 2026, multiplayer characters are described as rank-gated. Do not interpret access to a style as proof that every character is selectable.

Earn multiplayer XP through racing and the daily challenges at the bottom of the Multiplayer menu. Finishing position and consecutive races also contribute. After reaching a listed rank, check character selection before planning a build around that racer; no one has confirmed every target in this table against the selection screen.

Do you need to unlock podracing in the campaign first?

You can enter podracing immediately through Arcade without completing the campaign's Sebulba events. Open Arcade's Podracing tab; earning at least a bronze medal on the previous track unlocks the next track. Check for that medal and the next event becoming available before moving on.

In the campaign, speak to Sebulba when he appears in Act 2 or Act 3 to access Tales of Podracing. Completing the first event earns Feet First, and completing them all earns Old Greats. Those Favor conditions are separate from Arcade access.

Multiplayer offers Quick Podrace and Podracing Tour, with the latter unlocking at Multiplayer Rank 5. Podracers have no visual customization or permanent upgrades. Parts, abilities, and stat improvements can carry into a podrace within the same Tour, but the Podracer does not retain them after that Tour ends.

How do you unlock vehicle classes, models, and liveries?

Use Tuning Points to unlock the campaign's Speeder Bike and Skim Speeder classes and buy permanent upgrades; the campaign starts with the Landspeeder. No complete class-price table or item-by-item cosmetic checklist has been confirmed.

For campaign cosmetics, finish your current run and open vehicle selection before a fresh Tour. Highlight your machine and press Square on PS5 or X on Xbox. Confirm that the garage opens with Choose Model, Edit Vehicle, and Edit Livery. Deluxe and claimed pre-order cosmetics appear here too.

There are two currency descriptions: the October 7, 2026 wording assigns cosmetic models and paint jobs to Kit Points; the October 8, 2026 wording assigns new cosmetic parts, paint schemes, and finishes to Tuning Points. Follow the newer Tuning Points description for planning, then read the currency on your purchase prompt before spending. The currency screen has not been checked to settle the difference.

Cosmetic models and body components do not improve base stats. Prioritize performance upgrades until you can win comfortably, then spend spare points on appearance. Applying your first skin or livery unlocks Let's Build a Real Racer. For the garage options, continue to STAR WARS Galactic Racer customization.

Can you earn Deluxe and pre-order rewards by racing?

Deluxe and pre-order items are purchase bonuses with their own access conditions, so use edition ownership rather than campaign milestones to identify them.

Deluxe includes the Kor Sarun: Ciza T speeder bike, Kor Sarun: Darc X landspeeder, and Kor Sarun: Rak S skim speeder, plus three exclusive Arcade events, a Naboo N-1-inspired livery, a multiplayer banner with an Insignia and Background, and a digital art book. The skim speeder also appears as Rac S in the April 30, 2026 announcement; the store and its matching item description use Rak S.

PC pre-order bonuses include an orange livery for landspeeders, speeder bikes, and skim speeders, plus a Player Banner. Deluxe content is also offered through the Deluxe Upgrade. Check STAR WARS Galactic Racer Deluxe Edition before buying an upgrade for a reward you may already own.

Once you meet a campaign requirement, you gain another style, Favor, or equipment choice for future racing. Keep that expanded selection separate from upgrades that last only for the current Tour: campaign Logbook unlocks define which Parts and upgrades can appear in Multiplayer Tour, but the upgrades you buy there end with that Tour. With your next unlock chosen, head to STAR WARS Galactic Racer best build to decide how to use it.
