In Weird West, you traverse the world with various characters. Along the way, you can find companions, weapons, items, and more to help you on your journey. This also includes abilities that can alter the way you play. This may leave you wondering how to unlock and upgrade abilities.
To unlock and upgrade abilities in Weird West, you need to collect Nimp Relics. You can find these items throughout the world of Weird West, and they can be spotted by their purple glow and are often hidden in discreet out of the way places.
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.
