Rustler Best Skills
Now, we need to guide our ‘Rustler’ through the olden times so expect the world to be tough to him and in return, you, as the player need to toughen him up through the skill tree available to you.
To upgrade your character, you need to find Horseshoes in abundance. Don’t you worry though, you will find this currency easily throughout the game.
When you feel as if you are ready to upgrade your character, pause the game and get some skills!
How to Unlock skills in Rustler
In the pause menu, go ahead and select Skills. From there you can spend your skills points.
