The Outer Worlds Flaw Guide
How do you get Flaws? What do Flaws do? This The Outer Worlds Flaw Guide will answer all your Flaw related questions. It’s a unique mechanic that focuses heavily on a risk vs. reward scenario, giving you the choice at taking a negative effect in exchange for free Perk Points.
Flaws are unique, random events that can occur when you finish a specific action in The Outer Worlds. Once it occurs, you will be given the choice to look at the Flaw. If you accept the Flaw, it is added to your character permanently, and you receive the Perk Point(s).
Unlocking Flaws is difficult, because they are not guaranteed. For example, unlock Permanently Crippled occurs when you take leg damage. This could happen early in the game, or much later, depending on your play style and how often you take damage to the legs.
