 [[Facilitating Rewards]] are [[Rewards]] that enable players to perform new actions or existing actions better. The main difference between [[Facilitating Rewards]] and [[Access Rewards]] is that the former gives new [[Abilities]] or action to players while the latter provides the possibility for players to choose to get such [[Abilities]] or actions.
-Typical ways of creating [[Facilitating Rewards]] include giving players [[New Abilities|New]] or [[Improved Abilities]], providing new [[Powers]], or increasing [[Skills]]. Giving players access to [[Game Items]] that affect or provide [[Abilities]] or actions, e.g. [[Tools]], [[Vehicles]],  or [[Weapons]], are also very common. Letting players get [[Ammunition]] and [[Money]] can either be seen as a [[Facilitating Rewards|Facilitating Reward]] or a [[Sustenance Rewards|Sustenance Reward]]. Less common are providing players with [[Player Augmentations]]. Another way of providing [[Facilitating Rewards]] and which focuses on progressing spatially in games is to move players to new [[Levels]]. In these cases, the use of [[One-Way Travel]] can ensure that it is actual (forced) progression towards the end of a game.
