These skills are not unlocked by the same means as all the others. You don’t need resources, Skill Points, or levels to unlock and use them. Instead, you need to complete specific Rebel Ops Side Missions to unlock each specific skill and to upgrade it.
All Rebel Support skills can be upgraded up to nine times each, and each one follows the same upgrade pattern. You’ll need to complete Side Missions related to the skill you’re looking to upgrade in order to max out that skill.
