So what can you expect to see in Saints Row 3? In addition to the things listed above or weapons similar to it, you can expect to see:
1. Air Strikes
Air Strikes are laser guided attacks that let you take out an entire group of enemies at once without having to engage them directly.
2. Predator Drones
Changing the view to top-down, you’ll get to drop bombs of various types to destroy your target. Press the Trigger to let Standard Bombs drop or guide Smart Bombs by using the Analog Stick and smashing them into your target.
3. RC Gun
This unique gun allows you to control vehicles! Shoot it at cars and the bug will attach, allowing you to assume control of that vehicle. Starting with Cars, but eventually Tanks and even Air Vehicles. When the bug is attached, you can control them as if you were actually in the driver’s seat. The possibilities are easy to imagine, trucks of explosives driven into enemy territory, take over the vehicle of a rival gang or a cop car and run them over with it. Etc.!
4. Upgrades
The upgrading system in Saints Row: The Third has been revamped from previous games, allowing new perks and bonuses to be unlocked and purchasable to make previous weapons more powerful. They also add abilities to them. So the Shotgun can be upgraded to the Gravedigger, a three-barreled beast of destructive power. Meanwhile the Assault Rifles can be upgraded with Grenade Launchers or Scopes, giving them huge destructive power or sniping capability! Upgrading weapons how you want and with certain abilities will help you customize your weapons how you want.
5. Sex Toy Bat
You read that right . . . and no we aren’t going to go into detail. It is a sex toy and it is a bat … and the top of it wiggles with realistic physics… You can let your imagination figure this one out.
