Weird West has two types of abilities: character abilities and weapon abilities. Character abilities give unique skills to your character and are different depending on who you are playing as. Weapon abilities are shared by all characters and affect specific weapon types.

Abilities require various numbers of Nimp Relics to unlock. Once you have unlocked an ability, it is added to your skillset and can be used in combat. When you switch characters, your abilities are reset and must be repurchased with Nimp Relics.
