- 3 Passive Ability Cards
- 3.1 Combat Abilities
- 3.2 Recovery Abilities

Description[]
There are four slots available for abilities: 1 slot for Dead Eye, granting an ability activated during Dead Eye, and 3 slots for Passive Abilities, which affect the player persistently. There is one Active slot, and three Passive slots to fill.
The Dead Eye slot unlocks at Rank 2. The three passives unlock at ranks 10, 20, and 40.
Abilities can be found in the Abilities section of the Pause menu or accessed via the Weapon Wheel.
While ranking up, Ability Cards will unlock and become available to buy with cash. Similarly, upgrade the cards already owned by unlocking upgrades from gaining XP. Each card has three tiers to unlock, greatly enhancing the abilities whilst increasing in price. The 3rd tier gives the best stats for the card.
For all cards it costs $50 to buy (except the player's first Dead Eye card), $350 to upgrade to Level 2, and $500 to upgrade to level 3.
Dead Eye Abilities[]

|---|---|---|---|
| A Moment To Recuperate | Rank 2 | While Dead Eye is active you regenerate health. Taking any damage will cancel Dead Eye. |  |
| Focus Fire I | Rank 2 | While Dead Eye is active you and your allies deal a little more damage. If more than one member of your team has this ability active, the effects do not stack. |  |
| Paint it Black | Rank 2 | While Dead Eye is active you can paint targets onto enemies. Fire your weapon to shoot all marked targets. Each shot drains Dead Eye. |  |

| Quite An Inspiration I | Rank 44 | While Dead Eye is active you and your allies regenerate health. If more than one member of your team has this ability active, the effects do not stack. |  |
| Slippery Bastard I | Rank 50 | While Dead Eye is active enemy players cannot lock onto you, and you cannot lock onto them. Other enemies are a little less accurate when shooting at you. The rate at which your Dead Eye drains is dramatically increased. |  |
