How Do I Customize My Starfighter and Pilot?

In Star Wars™: Squadrons, you can customize and personalize all your starfighters, cockpits, and pilots with cosmetic items from all corners of the galaxy. Cosmetic items are earned by playing and progressing in the game.

How do I Earn New Cosmetic Items?

Cosmetic items can be obtained in three ways:

1. Use Glory (one of Star Wars™: Squadrons’ two in-game currencies) to unlock the cosmetic items of your choice. Most cosmetic items fall into this category.
2. Certain cosmetic items can only be unlocked by completing a specific task. Such items cannot be unlocked in any other way.
3. Certain cosmetic items can only be unlocked by reaching a certain Rank in Fleet Battles. Such items cannot be unlocked in any other way.

Glory is obtained when levelling up – this is your major source of Glory. Additionally, a small but meaningful amount of Glory can be obtained by completing Daily Challenges. Finally, at the beginning of each Operation, you will be rewarded with an amount of Glory based on the maximum Rank achieved in the previous Operation. Glory cannot be obtained with real money. There are no microtransactions in Star Wars™: Squadrons.
