Here’s a guide on how to unlock Favors in STAR WARS: Galactic Racer.

Game Guide by Ragib Rawnak on Oct 10, 2026

There are 20 Favors to track down across the galaxy. Getting all of them takes patience because you need a mix of campaign progression, vendor shopping, specific field tests, and random events. Here is how you get your hands on every single one.

Story & Milestone Favors

A handful of Favors unlock naturally as you clear specific campaign milestones and complete side events.

To unlock Clandestine Aid, you need to finish Act 1: The Qualifier. For Mad Genius, clear the first two planets in Act 1: The Qualifier. You get Feet First right after you finish your first Tales of Podracing race by talking to Sebulba.

Stick with that questline to earn Old Greats, which requires finishing all 12 Tales of Podracing challenges through Sebulba.

Finally, you can grab Preferred Customer simply by buying four pod parts from the Scrap Dealer in STAR WARS: Galactic Racer.

Reputation Favors on Derven Acos

Three Favors depend entirely on your faction standing by the time your journey takes you to Derven Acos. Keep your relations positive with these groups to secure their rewards.

You earn Team Vranki by reaching Derven Acos while keeping a Satisfactory Rating with the Hutt. To pick up Deeper Pocket, make it to Derven Acos with a Satisfactory Rating from the Broker.

Similarly, Bloody Bounty unlocks once you arrive at Derven Acos holding a Satisfactory Rating with the Pirate.

Field Test Favors

As you travel between circuits, you can run mini-challenges called Field Tests. Clearing specific test archetypes gives you a direct payout in STAR WARS: Galactic Racer.

Earn Gadgeteer by beating six Time Trial Field Tests. For Smuggler's Hope, clear six Ramjet Field Tests. You can unlock Unassuming Prodigy after completing two Precision Field Tests. For Brutal Calm, complete two Battling Field Tests.

These tests appear at random during your route planning, so jump into them whenever they pop up on your galaxy map.

Head-to-Head Rival Favors

Five Favors require you to beat named pilots in one-on-one showdowns. Getting a Head-to-Head Rival event to trigger takes some legwork. You have to keep betting on each other and talking to the pilot after regular races until they challenge you directly.

Beat Lyren Shok in a rival duel to unlock Fan Club. Take down Griff Halloran in a head-to-head match to earn Victorious Loser.

Defeat Sen Fira in a rival race to receive Silent Defiance. Outrace Ary Quill in a duel to get Family Legacy. Finally, beat Fola Kanjen in your rival race to walk away with High Roller in STAR WARS: Galactic Racer.

Racer Roulette

To earn this perk, you must knock down Biddy Blas' ego across three separate encounters. In the first encounter, choose "All right, you're on." In the second encounter, pick "Quadruple or Nothing." When you run into them for the third encounter, select "Let's go, Taxman!"

Underhanded Upperhand

This Favor requires you to hire Malis Vazosk by spending Credits across four encounters, totaling 20,000 Credits.

In the first encounter, pay 4,000 Credits and say "I'll pay double if you don't sabotage me." In the second encounter, hand over another 4,000 Credits and say "I want you to sabotage another race in STAR WARS: Galactic Racer.

“For the third encounter, pay 5,000 Credits and pick "I want you to sabotage the racers." In the fourth encounter, pay the final 7,000 Credits and choose "You're Hired."

Second Chance

Earn the respect of Katja Mox across three encounters by running with handicaps. In the first encounter, pick any of the three offered handicaps, then clear three planets with that handicap active.

In the second encounter, choose a second handicap and finish two more planets with it equipped. In the third encounter, say "Fine, take them. I'll prove myself without them."

Upgrading Favors Works

Every Favor has stronger tiers. To level up a Favor, equip it to your pod and finish planets during your tour. As long as the perk stays slotted in your loadout while you clear tracks, it will gain experience and upgrade on its own in STAR WARS: Galactic Racer.

FAQ

Q. Can I swap Favors between races?

A. No. Your three Favor slots lock in at the beginning of a tour. You have to wait until you finish the tour before you can adjust your setup.

Q. Why aren't Rival Races showing up for me?

A. Rival challenges rely on background RNG and your relationship status. You need to consistently bet against that specific racer and speak with them whenever you meet in the paddock to trigger the duel.

Q. What happens if I pick the wrong dialogue option in a Mystery Encounter?

A. If you choose the wrong prompt, you fail the chain for that run. You will have to wait for the character's random event node to show up again on a later route.
