How to disable power to the turret in Star Wars Outlaws explained

As a seasoned spacefarer and Star Wars enthusiast, I must say that the Droidsmith mission in Star Wars Outlaws has proven to be quite the challenge! The turret at Akiva is a formidable foe that requires more than just brute force to take down. After some careful exploration and trial and error, I finally discovered the method to disable power to the gun turret.


On Akiva, you’ve been progressing with the primary Star Wars Outlaws missions. Everything seemed smooth sailing until you received instructions to ‘shut off power to the turret’.

En route to locating your Droidsmith, Gedeek, you’ll encounter a formidable gun emplacement that can reduce you to scraps instantaneously if you’re not vigilant.

Shooting the thing doesn’t seem to have any impact, so what’s the play here?

Check out the video above, or keep on reading for a written version of this guide!

How to disable power to the turret in Star Wars Outlaws

To shut off power to the turret while on the Droidsmith mission in Star Wars Outlaws, here’s what you should do:

  • Head to the red glowing barrier in the far corner of the room
  • Send Nix through the barrier to open a pathway
  • Head through the newly opened path
  • Go up in the nearby elevator
  • Upstairs, pull a lever – this will bring a crate towards you on a track
  • Position yourself near the crate – make sure you’re on the opposite side of the crate to the turret!
  • Send Nix to pull the nearby lever again
  • Quickly, jump on t0 the crate and hang on 
  • Ride the crate across the track and into another room 
  • Jump off the crate
  • Use the nearby computer terminal to disable power to the turret

If that doesn’t make sense, check out the method in our video guide below.

You’ll find plenty more where that came from on the TopMob Gaming YouTube channel.

Nearby the area where you shut down the turret, you’ll come across another terminal that provides a brief insight into the life of Gedeek.

As a dedicated fan of the captivating Star Wars book series, I can’t help but feel a thrill when I recognize a well-known name in that holographic recording. What an exhilarating moment!

After shutting off the power, feel free to make your way back towards the turret room. Your journey through the main story resumes beyond that room. Enjoy yourself!
