Red Dead Online How to Unlock New Abilities
In Red Dead Online you will have four different ability slots when playing the game. You’ll start with one ability and as you progress through the rank system you will unlock three more slots. The first slot is for Dead Eye specific ability cards. The second, third, and fourth slots are designated for passive ability cards that you can fill with cards that you unlock.

To unlock all three passive ability slots you will need to rank up to level 40 in Red Dead Online. These Passive Ability Cards are always working while in your loadout and can have a bunch of different effects depending on which ones you choose.
