During the ‘On the Trail of the Traitor’ quest in The Outer Worlds 2, players will encounter a tantalizing glass cabinet housing a legendary assault rifle. However, the path to this powerful weapon is not straightforward; it requires the elusive Abbot’s Universal Key. This key unlocks the cabinet, allowing you to wield a formidable armament that can turn the tide of battle against your foes.
Abbot’s Universal Key location
To secure Abbot’s Universal Key, players must progress to the conclusion of the ‘On the Trail of the Traitor’ quest, where they will meet Seer Landon Wiley. After addressing this encounter, access to the terminal will be granted, propelling you further into the quest. With the peace talks successfully navigated, you can then seek out Abbot Josef Newell, who is conveniently located just outside the building. Regardless of the dialogue choices made, he will always provide you with his universal key.
Abbot’s Universal Key reward
Upon returning to the building, just before reaching the terminal room, the coveted assault rifle will come into view, securely locked behind the glass cabinet. As you approach the access podium, you will be presented with three distinct options:
- Unlock the Case – Using Abbot’s Universal Key
- Lockpick the Access Podium – Utilizing Lockpick & Mag-Pick
- Find a Vulnerability in the Access Podium to Exploit – Background: Ex-Convict
The Oracle, a legendary assault rifle, comes equipped with a single attachment known as the Prediction Optics. It operates on Long Rounds and boasts an impressive weak spot bonus of +90%, making headshots particularly rewarding.
