While most of these skills are passive, players will eventually come across weapons with special skills called Weapon Abilities that must be activated to use.

While the game does show how powerful these Abilities can be, it doesn't outright explain just how to use them, especially on a controller.

When playing on a controller, players may find that their weapon ability has been overwritten with another item. Players that have filled their Tool Belts with other items as their Quick Slots will have to open up their Quick Slot menu and select their Weapon Ability from the radial menu. To do this for the first slot, players will have to hold down either Square on PlayStation controllers or X on Xbox controllers.
