Within Altis Life there a variety of skills that you can unlock to give yourself improved stats or special abilities. These skills are unlocked by spending a Skill Point, a skill point is earned by reaching 100 Skill XP which can be gained by doing various activities across Altis. Doing runs or repairing vehicles are some of the ways you can earn Skill XP. Note that Skill XP is different from Profession XP.
In total you are able to earn and spend a maximum of 18 skill points at any time, once a skill is learnt it is permanently active unless you decide to "respec" you skills; doing so will unassign all of you skill points and remove 33% of them, which can be regained, but will allow you to spend them again on whatever you wish.
To spend skills and activate abilities you will need to use the Skill Menu. This can be opened by either pressing the number "6" or via the Y menu and clicking "skills". Any skills that have special abilities that can be activated are also accessed within the Skill Menu by clicking the ability button.
Some skills also require other skills to be unlocked first before you can obtain them!
