Pirate lord kills cheese method

[HansPatat050]

I've very much enjoyed this game and while checking out Rebel Galaxy Outlaw video's on youtube I stumbled upon an easy cheese method to get the 20 pirate lord kills. It can be a real pain (and grind) to get the pirate lords spawned. If you want to speed things up, try the following:

 

• Before starting the fight, have a look at your stats and see how many pirate lords you've already killed.
• When you're fighting a pirate lord, the red lines on the screen will indicate when you've succesfully killed it (faction xx reduces by xx for example). When the kill pops on screen, directly press start to pauze the game, check your stats if you have a +1 pirate lord kill and click 'exit to title'. 
• The game is now saved, but not at the exact moment when you hit start, this is where the cheesing comes in. If you reload the game via the menu you'll notice that the game creates the save a second or 2 before the actual moment when you hit start and clicked 'exit to title'. 
• Now reload the game, you'll be back in the fight with the pirate lord and most likely you'll only have to give it a shot to kill it. Repeat the pauze action, check if you have a +1 and if so rinse and repeat until you get 20 for the trophy.

 

Please give the game some time to process the saves when loading back into the menu. I advice to not try to speedrun the save and reload actions as this might cause some trouble.

Thank you so much for this glitch. I really enjoyed most of this game until I didn't and it felt like a grind fest. I used this same glitch on siege breaking too.

This worked, thanks!

 

You have to be real quick about pausing to exit to title. When I load the game up to get another kill I couldn't wait for the notification to appear again otherwise on the next load the pirate lord would be dead. So basically as soon as the game loaded I paused, saw that my counter was already up then quit... repeat X number of times.
