As players level up, they will gain Skill Points that they can use to unlock and equip the abilities of Grandpa. There are 14 abilities of Grandpa and family players can choose any 1 of them in their load-outs.

How to Use Grandpa Abilities

Once players have leveled up and unlocked the ability of Grandpa, they need to equip it. Once the ability has been equipped in their load-outs, when they enter the game as a family character, they need to feed the grandpa. Once Grandpa has been fed enough, the first diamond ability icon will light up showing that the first grandpa ability is activated. As players feed more to Grandpa, the rest of the two will also light up and all the abilities will be activated granting players the respective buffs of the activated abilities. The abilities activated in the game are the ones that players have equipped in their load-outs.

The abilities will remain activated unless the victim characters hurt Grandpa. So, keep feeding Grandpa and take care of the victims before they escape or hurt Grandpa.
