Swipe tables sideways to read every column.
Select a slot, then activate
| Input | Xbox | PlayStation | Keyboard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Select ability slot | D-pad | D-pad | 1–4 |
| Activate selected ability | LB | L1 | E / Q |
Check that an ability is equipped and the intended slot is selected on the HUD. Active abilities depend on Battery energy. Hibi’s planetary-stop shop commonly supplies abilities; some also arrive as event rewards.
Read the effect and trigger
| Ability | Base effect or condition |
|---|---|
| Vent | Reduces Ramjet heat. |
| Shield | Protection for 10 seconds. |
| Autopilot | Automatic driving for 10 seconds, with reduced Ramjet heat. |
| Surge | Lasts 10 seconds; overtakes extend it, while a collision ends it. |
| Ion Blast | A crash-triggered ability, not an ordinary manual activation. |
Parts supply passive conditional effects. For example, a Takedown-triggered Part needs that event to happen; pressing the ability button does not trigger the Part by itself.
If nothing happens
Check the selected slot, equipped variant, available energy and trigger type before assuming the button is wrong. The table does not specify the energy cost and unlock condition of every upgraded variant.
