The Outer Worlds Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-23 · 27 entries checked · 11 flagged · 31 issues confirmed · 11 corrected · 20 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Samson — Samson is not a canon character in The Outer Worlds. There is no NPC or potential companion by that name in the game.

Samson — There is no settlement on Halcyon where a physically augmented heavy combatant named Samson can be found.

Terra 2 Company Forces — Monarch is a planet, not a moon.

Terra 2 Company Forces — Terra 2 is a subsidiary of the Halcyon Holdings Board, not an independent conglomerate.

Melee Weapons — The entry states 'The colony of Halcyon, a star system consisting of seven planets (though not all are fully colonized)'. In The Outer Worlds canon, the Halcyon system contains six planets, not seven.

Melee Weapons — The entry states 'the Halcyon Holdings Corporation, a coalition of ten megacorporations'. In canon, the Halcyon Holdings Corporation is a coalition of 13 (thirteen) megacorporations, not ten.

Athletics — Unarmed damage scales with Athletics skill level regardless of whether using unarmed weapons or bare fists; the skill applies to all unarmed attacks.

Athletics — Robots and automatons do not have conventional armor that reduces unarmed damage in the same way as humanoid enemies; the statement about armor is misleading.

Wake Up Call — The player does not begin on the Hope; the prologue takes place on the Hope, but 'Wake Up Call' begins with the player already inside the crashed Unreliable.

Wake Up Call — Parvati Holcomb is not first encountered aboard the Unreliable; she is first encountered outside the Unreliable, near the crashed ship, after the player exits it.

The Long Way Home — The quest 'The Long Way Home' does not begin on Terra 2; it begins on The Unreliable after acquiring the ship.

The Long Way Home — The quest does not require traveling to the Groundbreaker to meet Gladys; the Navkey can be obtained through other means.

The Big Score — The entry states the mission is called 'The Big Score', but no quest by that name exists in The Outer Worlds; the correct quest involving Edgewater's financial crisis is 'The Commuter' or part of the 'Edgewater' storyline.

Hallowed Grounds — The quest 'Hallowed Grounds' does not involve a drug derived from Adrena-Time; the substance Aurelius is a drug derived from a different compound, not Adrena-Time.

Hallowed Grounds — The claim that the production location of Aurelius is not a hidden laboratory beneath the church is incorrect; in the actual quest, the production of Aurelius does take place in a hidden laboratory beneath the church.
