Perks Guide – Saints Row
Perks in Saints Row are divided into three main tiers: Minor, Major, and Elite. Each of these tiers costs differently depending on their tier. These perks act like upgrades and they boost various skills of your character. However, before you purchase them, you will need to unlock them first via story progression and completing various challenges. You can view the challenges that you can complete in the game on your phone and keep track of all of them as well. For unlocking challenges, you will need to level up, so they are all connected with each other.
At any time, you can equip two Minor perks, two Major perks, and one Elite perk. The cost of each slot is different and as you unlock additional slots, the next slot is always more expensive than the previous slot. In the tables below, you will find all of the 34 Perks that you can unlock and equip in Saints Row.
