• Firearms (Teal): Defeat enemies using your guns. Simple enough right?
• Explosives (Yellow): Blow people/robots up using grenades or special Yellow-class firearms such as the Grenade Launcher.
• Strength (Red): Pound B, and beat everyone up using your bare hands.
• Driving (Purple): Preform stunts, run over enemies with your car, and compete in races.
• Agility (Green): Collect Agility tokens scattered throughout the city.
