All upgradeable skills in Rustler

Rustler is an odd mix of a medieval simulator and old-school top-down Grand Theft Auto. On your journey, you’ll be upgrading your criminal with stat increases and perks. To be the very strongest on the street, you’ll need to bring the pain.

Throughout the game, you’ll find horseshoes that you can use to upgrade your character, Guy. To find the menu, press pause, options, or the ESC key and press A (or click) on “Skills.” From there, you’ll see the skill tree. If you ever decide to switch skills, you can reset what you have by pressing the X or square buttons or hovering your mouse over the bottom left text. It will cost you 100 gold, however.
