LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - How to Use Scavenger Tools
While the aforementioned turtorial provides a fairly comprehensive walkthrough of how to use Scavenger abilities, a few words on the subject may still be helpful. To start, it is important to clarify that unlocking the tools in Episode 7 will alllow players to use them with all Scavenger characters. This includes characters like Chief Chirpa, Jawa, and Wicket, and the process for accessing the abilities is the same for all characters.
For full clarity, that process begins by holding Circle on a PlayStation controller, B on an Xbox controller, or A on a Switch controller to open the Tool menu. With that menu open, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga players should highlight the Scavenger ability that they are interested in and press the input that appears below it. This action will cause the selected tool to be equipped, and players can use the inputs that appear at the bottom of the screen to activate the ability.
With respect to the specifics of what each Scavenger Tool can do, the Net Launcher allows players to climb objects with an "X" on them, the Glider allows them to cross gaps, and the Breaker Blaster allows them to break cracked walls. While the opportunities to employ these abilities are often quite obvious, players should still be on the lookout for them. This is especially true for fans that want to obtain all the collectibles in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, as many of them are accessed with Scavenger Tools.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is available for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
