Learn how to complete all the 'Odd Jobs' in The Outer Worlds. This guide covers both manual solutions and using the terminal in Amber Heights for a quick fix.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Quick Fix (Terminal Method): Head to the northern edge of Amber Heights. In the western building, find a terminal. Select [View Work Orders]. You can then remotely fix the following:
    • [Steam coming outta the roof]: Pass an [Engineering 55] check.
  2. 2
    [Arcing electricity at the bar]: Pass a [Science 55] check.
  3. 3
    [Haven’t heard from the rapt house]: Pass a [Hack 55] check to reset the comms breaker.
  4. 4
    [Dear diary]: Pass a [Hack 55] check to delete Huxley’s work order (not quest related).
  5. 5
    [Medical Examiners Residence, Door Sealed]: Select [Engage Remote Forced Door Lever Operation] to unlock the med bay's upper floor (not quest related, but yields loot).
  6. 6
    Lightning Dodging (Manual Method): Go to the western side of the bar (northernmost building in Amber Heights). You'll see sparking wires on the floor. Position yourself opposite the switch and jump over the wires to reach and flip the switch, turning off the power. This may require several attempts due to electrical shocks.
  7. 7
    Steam Tag (Manual Method): Go to the med bay door, then turn west towards crates near a rock formation. Jump onto the crates, turn south, and walk along the rocks to reach the roof of a building. You'll see steam spewing from red pipes. Position yourself between two steam jets, facing the switch in the center. Jump between the steam jets to reach the switch and flip it. You can also loot a nearby bin.
  8. 8
    Canid’s Switch (Manual Method): Travel north from Amber Heights to the Bayside Terrace Ruins. Find the switch on the southern end of a building. Be prepared to fight canids that gather near the switch, as well as marauders and raptidons along the way.
