Equipping Skills[]

Skill select menu from Chris's COMs Device, during this time, the player is vulnerable to attacks.
The player is able to create individual sets of skills. A set comprises three different skills equipped by a player (upgrades replace lower levels, so it is not possible to have J'avo Killer Lvl. and J'avo Killer Lv2. equipped simultaneously). To start, players are only be able to create one set. However, completing one campaign will unlock seven new sets of skill, with eight being the total.[1]
Sets can be changed and equipped at any moment by accessing the character's COMs Device. It should be noted however that the game will not pause while changing or equipping skills, so it leaves the player vulnerable if there are enemies around. Exclusive to the PC version is the option to press bound keys (defaulted to F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7 and F8) to equip the skill set immediately without having to go to the menu.
