The Outer Worlds Flaws Guide – How to Get, Understanding All Flaws

The Outer Worlds brings in a new mechanics called Flaws. In this guide, we will discuss what Flaws are and how they work in The Outer Worlds. This is a unique mechanic that brings an element of risk to your gameplay. The bigger the risk the bigger the reward, you take a negative effect in exchange for a Perk Point.

The Outer Worlds Flaws system is implemented via random events that come up when you finish certain actions.

When the event comes up you will have complete information on what these Flaws are and how they may affect your gameplay.

You can opt-in for the Flaw and it will be a part of your character from there on, but on the flip side, you will get the Perk Point.
