The Outer Worlds flaws: all the negative attributes you can inherit

What are The Outer Worlds flaws? In Obsidian's Fallout-like RPG, your player character goes through the wringer, dying in multiple ways and many times over. While other games let you dust yourself off and carry on, in Outer Worlds you'll get the option of picking up negative attributes if you die to the same cause too many times.

A weird option to get, sure, but for every flaw you'll gain access to The Outer Worlds perks - a small gesture to stem the tide of self-doubt that overcomes your character. Not to be confused with The Outer Worlds companion perks, obviously. Also keep in mind that these Outer Worlds flaws are permanent, so you'll want to be mindful during your playthroughs. Your difficulty setting will limit how many flaws your character can get. You can pick up a maximum of three on normal, four on hard, and five on supernova difficulty. The negative stats also affect your team - misery loves company, and that - but you won't be punished for turning them down.

Throughout this The Outer Worlds flaws guide we'll go through each flaw, the negative stats that come with them, and what you have to do to, er, get them. So, without further adieu, here are all The Outer Worlds flaws we've found so far.

The Outer Worlds weapons: the best guns and science weapons

Now we get to the fun stuff, The Outer Worlds weapons. There's a lengthy amount of nurturing, buffing, and tinkering that you'll have to give your weapons in The Outer Worlds. Picking up a gun you love won't cut it, so we've broken down everything you need to know about weapons in The Outer Worlds.

There are six different types of weapons in The Outer Worlds including 1-handed melee, 2-handed melee, handguns, long guns, heavy weapons, and science weapons. Guns such as assault rifles, grenade launchers, and shotguns all fit into one of these six categories and require a type of ammo to function from light, heavy, and energy - with melee weapons needing no ammo at all.

All of The Outer Worlds weapons have a durability meter and can be repaired using weapon parts at a workbench. Your gun will never break completely, but a lower durability will affect the performance of your weapon, meaning it will deal less damage. You can also use a workbench to adapt your weapon in The Outer Worlds, adding mods to change its stats. Here's everything you need to know about weapon types, special effects, and the science weapons you'll find in The Outer Worlds.

The Outer Worlds perks: all the buffs for your character

The Outer Worlds perks make up a large part of how your character plays and interacts with the world around them. Some of these stat boosts open up more dialogue options while others boost your critical damage. So, if you're thinking about what the best Outer Worlds builds for you may be, chances are perks will get you most of the way there - be it a gun-toting outlaw or a sweet talkin' con man.

There are a total of 42 perks in The Outer Worlds for you to pick from for your character, and there's no limit to the amount you can equip. These perks are, however, organised into three tiers - one being the lowest, three being the highest. To unlock perks in a higher tier you'll need to unlock a certain amount in the tier below. Oh, and you can respec your perks if you've made a bad call - it'll set you back 500 Bit Cartridges at first, and the amount increases every time - so keep that in mind.

Throughout this guide we'll detail all The Outer Worlds perks you'll come across in your jaunt across Obsidian's space RPG. We'll also divvy them up into their tiers so you can weigh them up against each other.

The Outer Worlds builds: the best build for each type of player

What are the best The Outer Worlds builds? The best RPG games allow us to play out unique character fantasies, and Obsidian's spacefaring epic allows us to indulge in that with a sci-fi twist. From a Han Solo-like scoundrel that excels in talking their way out of any situation, to an intergalactic hitman who blasts their way past any obstacles.

Behind the role-play, however, there is a web of The Outer Worlds perks, flaws, and skills that dictate how well we can pull off our chosen build. For example, investing your skill points into dialogue gives you more conversation options to shape how you choose to interact with people.
