The free/default weapons in Saints Row generally don’t cut it, so you’ll need to upgrade them eventually if you want to stay competitive. In this guide, let’s talk about all there is to know about Upgrading Weapons in Saints Row.
A weapon can be unlocked in Saints Row by completing objectives or purchasing it from the shop. Additionally, each weapon has its special ability that must be discovered, and a challenge is associated with it—for example, unlocking a weapon by exploring Santo Ileso or overcoming a related challenge.
Additionally, if the challenge with a weapon is that you need to kill the enemies, then there is no better option than participating in the @tcha Side Hustle challenges. Once you have completed the mission, return to the Friendly Fire tab to enable the weapon’s ability. However, as your level increases, your challenges will become more difficult. The good news is that you can 3x upgrade a weapon in the game:
- 1st upgrade at level 5 will cost you $5,000.
- 2nd upgrade at level 10 will cost you $25,000.
- 3rd/final upgrade at level 15 will cost you $100,000.
Pro Tip: Don’t forget to claim you’re Criminal Venture reward and cash them out to the cash flow app so you may use it for weapon improvement.
