When creating the main character in outer worlds 2, you can choose from several different backgrounds. Not everyone is heroic. For example, a Renegade is someone who has been involved in criminal activity in various colonies. They are now agents of the Earth Directorate, but it's not because they've changed their ways. They are simply trying to get away from their previous employer.
So this isn't the most morally righteous background you could choose. So it's only fair that you have a lineup that isn't entirely fair either. Here's a build that fits the Renegade perfectly.
Best qualities for a renegade
When it comes to properties, you can they have only one positive feature without needing to have a negative as well. None of the negative traits suit the Renegade, so stick with the following positive traits:
|
Property |
What does it do? |
Why it suits the Renegade |
|---|---|---|
|
Polite |
You get a 10 percent discount at all vendors, and your reward must be twice the usual amount to be considered an outlaw. |
Renegade has a history of criminal activity, but has seemingly always gotten away with it. The reason may be his kind nature. |
Best skills for a renegade
Your Renegade can get two specialized skills. The following suit them best:
|

Why it suits the Renegade |
|---|---|
|

It is fair to assume that they often used guns for their various crimes. |
|

Picking locks is something else that probably helped during their criminal activities. |
Speech and Explosives are two other skills which may fit this construction.
Best perks for a renegade
There are several advantages that suit the Renegade. Here are the best ones:
|

Trophy hunter |
The critical chance is increased by five percent for all enemies and by an additional 15 percent for powerful enemies. |
As a Renegade, you must be deadly in combat. |
|
Crabble Rancher |
When your magazine is half empty, your sniper rifles, pistols, and shotguns gain a 10 percent increased ranged damage and a 20 percent critical chance. |
Weapons are a big part of your arsenal in this build, so it makes sense to be more efficient with them. |
|
Through the Keyhole |
Before you open the lock, you'll see inside a locked container and your weapon's range will increase by 50 percent. |
The Renegade is clearly a smart and careful criminal as they have managed to avoid being caught by the law. So they wouldn't want to risk picking a lock without knowing the benefits of doing so. |
