Welcome to MojoPlays, and today we’re at the 10 Weirdest Saints Row Unlockables.
For this list, we’ll be looking at the most bizarre unlockable items or characters in the “Saints Row” franchise. We will, of course, be leaving out the more explicit items. You know the one.
What’s your favorite unusual “Saints Row” item? Let us know in the comments!
“Saints Row” games in general offer many options, should you be bored with the main story. One such diversion in the second game is the “Ambulance EMT” activity, in which you are a paramedic. No catch, you’re just doing paramedic stuff. Just steal an ambulance to get started! You can then own the shock paddles, and roam the streets shocking people to death. And if you get a guilty feeling afterwards, you can just use the same paddles to revive your victims. It’s likely one of the only weapons in video gaming that can go both ways, depending on your mood.
Originally only available to those who pre-ordered the game, this vehicle eventually reached everyone through a DLC pack. Fans of “Saints Row” will be familiar with “Professor Genki’s Super Ethical Reality Climax” gameshow, in which the player goes through an obstacle course shooting mascots and evading fiery traps. The Manapult is a pick-up truck mounted with a large cannon, which when driven close to pedestrians will suck them up into said cannon, and the player can shoot them back out as human cannonballs. That’s one way to clear the road. The horn on the vehicle shouts out Genki quotes such as the classic “murder time, fun time!”
When you play these games, you come to expect nonsense, so this next one is just that - a bit of total nonsense. There’s a mission SR3 in which your character is in virtual reality fighting the Deckers gang, and there are some intentional glitches that turn the player into a walking toilet, among other things. After one of the final missions in the game, the toilet outfit is unlocked, and you are free to play as a sentient toilet for as long as you please. It’s not just some cheap Halloween costume of the commode. It’s actually just a toilet. There’s no special toilet ability, or perk. It’s… just a toilet.
Have you ever wanted to play a GTA style game with that lady from church who makes the best scones? Well, thanks to “Saints Row”, that dream can come true! In the first game, we meet a sweet and kind Laura. She’s wholesome, teaches piano lessons, drives a minivan and has kids. Oh, and she’s a dealer, of course. She makes an appearance in “Saints Row 2”, but only in the first game can she be unlocked as a homie, meaning she’ll show up with a shotgun and back you up when called. Second place in entertaining homies goes to “Saints Row: The Third”’s NyteBlayde, Steelport TV’s cheesy vampire vigilante. His terrible dialogue can’t be beat.
In another heart-warming activity brought to you by our friends at Volition, “Septic Avenger” lets you live out your dream of driving a truck around town and spraying its citizens and buildings with sewage and excrement. The truck is available if you know where to find it in the second game, but otherwise will unlock in your garage after completing its activity, so that you can always have raw sewage at your disposal. It’s also present in the first game, but only for the activity and not for your leisure. Really, the sky’s the limit for toilet humor in the “Saints Row” franchise. Can you spray the sky with the septic truck? Probably.
“Saints Row” does boast some recognizable voice actors, but also has some surprising characters playing and voicing exaggerated versions of themselves. In “Saints Row: The Third”, we meet the mayor of Steelport. He is none other than Burt Reynolds, much to the player’s surprise. The mayor needs help with a zombie outbreak, naturally. What’s even more surprising is that later on in the game, you are given the option of unlocking Reynolds as a homie. When called, Burt will show up sans weapon and fight with his bare fists, because he’s a badass. Another homie in need of no weapon is Roddy Piper, former wrestler, who can be unlocked and called in “Saints Row IV”, kilt and all.
Whether you like dubstep music or not, this gun is wildly entertaining. In “Saints Row IV”, the player is transported into an alien computer simulation. Despite its new features it is still a typical “Saints Row” game, therefore nonsense weapons are definitely abundant. The “Dubstep Gun” emits dubstep beats as well as some serious damage when completely upgraded. Any pedestrians in its periphery will automatically dance to the beats, should they find the beats groovable. It basically fires long-range energy pulses in the form of multicolored lasers, blowing anything or anyone in its path away. There are a variety of available tunes for the gun, so it doesn’t really get old.
We just want a weapon that will shoot tiny octopus onto people’s heads. Is that too much to ask? Well, apparently not. In “Saints Row: The Third”, you can have your very own Mollusk Launcher! Part of the “Funtime!” DLC pack, the launcher will shoot tiny, adorable, chirping, mind-controlling octopus onto the heads of innocent bystanders. The victims then break into spontaneous dance, before becoming temporary helpers to the player in battle. The octopus can also be detonated, should you feel so inclined.
Do you ever find yourself just wanting to sit back, relax, and watch someone get eaten by a magical street shark? The “Shark-O-Matic” is the weapon for you! In a shotgun-like-motion, this gun will cover your victim in fish guts, which will then summon the Steelport Sewer Shark out of the ground to enjoy its shark dinner. That poor sewer shark must have problems finding decent meals. So, it’s basically like humane work, right? Yeah! Making sure the animals have a reliable food source? This gun is not upgradable, but who needs to mess with perfection?
Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
“GenkiBowl VII” is a DLC activity that features new Genki-related activities, and introduces the player to many ridiculous vehicles and weapons. In the “Sexy Kitten Yarngasm” level of the activity, the player drives a tank-like vehicle which is just a giant ball of yarn. It emits shockwaves to cause damage, and can, of course, roll over any innocent bystanders and vehicles in its path. It has a lower health capacity, but maneuvers nicely and is a speedier mode of transport. It’s perhaps not as aesthetically pleasing as some of the other vehicles in the game, as it’s a ball of yarn. But Yarnie definitely holds a special place in our destructive gangsta hearts.
