Using action modules the hunter can attack, move across the map, or various miscellaneous actions. At start of each job the modules available for use are limited to 4 short movement modules, a hop to jump over holes or mount raised platforms, shoot, and lob to lob grenades. But by collecting energy cubes, that are dropped at random open spaces each day, the hunter can download new modules that further expand their available actions. Downloading a new module replaces the old module the cursor is hovering over.
