Saints Row: The Third Remastered from developer Sperasoft was released on May 22, 2020 for PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One (). After the port to the Nintendo Switch () in 2019, the remake of the open world game trumps with completely revamped graphics and includes all DLCs of the original version.

To help you recapture the city of Steelport from the Syndicate, we reveal the best tips and tricks for the remake of the gangster epic in our Saints Row: The Third Remastered guide.


What should I look out for as a newcomer to the Saints Row 3 remaster?

Saints Row: The Third Remastered is set in a huge open world that offers countless possibilities. As a beginner, don't get distracted by the many side missions and activities in Steelport. Instead, we recommend that you complete as many missions from the main story as possible at the beginning. This will unlock bonus items as well as additional skills, which will make the side activities of the open world much easier later on.

As you progress through the campaign, you'll discover new activities and challenges, which will then be permanently marked on the map. You'll earn respect and money when you complete such a minigame. However, your objective in Saints Row: The Third Remastered is to recapture all the city areas from the enemy Syndicate.

To capture a new area, you'll first have to find a gang operation. To do this, look for clusters of red dots on the mini-map and approach the region. If you don't find a gang, fly over the neighborhood with a helicopter, as some gang members like to hang out on top of skyscrapers.

How do I earn money & respect in Saints Row: The Third Remastered?

If you want to get rich in Saints Row: The Third Remastered, buy properties. Thanks to this tip, you'll earn more money than you take in during the campaign and never have to worry about your digital bank balance again. First of all, invest in weapon stores, since as a store owner you'll get a discount on the weapons .

Furthermore, there is a trick for quickly farmingmoney and respect, which will allow you to level up your character quickly. Raid one of your own stores by pointing any weapon at the seller without shooting him. Afterwards, you'll leave the store to immediately enter it again. You'll notice that your mugshot level has been reset - you still get to keep the loot.

The trick works even better if you cause as much chaos as possible in front of the door. As soon as the situation gets too tense and your opponents start bringing in the heavy artillery, you re-enter the store and everything is forgotten. If this method is too monotonous for you, look for a passerby dressed as Professor Genki.

He will appear at random places in the city and will be shown as an enemy on the mini-map. Don't hesitate and kill the stranger in disguise. You will receive a reward of $300,000 for this and at the same time you'll unlock the funniest side missions in Saints Row: The Third Remastered. Even though the professor is armed with a stun gun and takes considerably more damage than normal passers-by, the fight won't be a particular challenge for you.

The most important upgrades and improvements for your character

To improve your character in Saints Row: The Third Remastered, pull out your cell phone and navigate to the Improvements section. Under Vehicles you'll take the "Ability - Nitro". Thanks to the upgrade, each of your vehicles will have a nitro engine. When you've wrecked a freshly painted car - and that's guaranteed to happen often - you simply hop into another vehicle and escape much faster thanks to the boost.

In addition, it's best to use your hard-earned money for upgrades in the damage and health categories. In the health category, we recommend a ratio of 50 percent each of "Regeneration" and "Improvement". In addition, the upgrades "Resistance to bullets, explosives and vehicles" will help you with attacks from enemy gangs.

You'll be well advised to use the gang skill Resurrection when playing Saints Row: The Third Remastered in co-op mode. After you reach a higher respect level, you can also unlock unlimited ammo for each weapon type. First, opt for the infinite ammo in the explosives category.

With this Saints Row: The Third remastered tip, you'll flatten all enemies in a few seconds with the rocket launcher, including enemy helicopters. Speaking of helicopters, unlock the "Companion - Helicopter" gear ability so you can request a Tornado helicopter from the mobile menu. Since the Tornado fires unlimited homing rakes, it's one of the best weapons in the game.

Bonus tip: If you want to find all the collectibles and collectible objects in Saints Row: The Third Remastered, then use the "Collectible Finder" ability. From now on, all collectibles in the open world will be highlighted and displayed on the map.

The best weapon tips for Saints Row: The Third Remastered

Always use one weapon per category and level it up to the maximum level 4 as quickly as possible. Specifically, we advise you to use the 45 Shepherd in the pistol category, which shoots exploding bullets at the highest level. With it, you'll take out regular gang members with just one shot and use up at most half a magazine for tougher enemies. On top of that, the 45 Shepherd's upgrades are also cheap.

In the rifle category, the K-8 Krukov is our first choice. It is the only weapon in Saints Row: The Third Remastered that can fire grenades. Consequently, you'll save the money for a grenade launcher without sacrificing the additional firepower. Next, dedicate yourself to the TEK Z-10's improvements, which you'll find among the SMGs.

Thanks to the upgrades, the TEK Z-10 shoots burning bullets and sets fire to hit targets. This has the advantage that burning enemies won't shoot at you anymore and you'll get some breathing room in dicey situations. Use the TEK Z especially against groups, because they set each other on fire. Be sure to keep a safe distance and don't use the pimped SMG in close combat, or you'll catch fire yourself.

Bonus tip: Keep your hands off STAG weapons. They overheat after a very short time and you are helpless against your enemies during the cooldown.

Saints Row: The Third Remastered Guide: The 8 best quick tips

  • You'll quickly gain respect in Saints Row: The Third Remastered if you're accident-free in oncoming traffic.
  • Alternatively, it's best to complete assassination challenges to quickly increase your respect.
  • The VTOL is the best helicopter in the game. You'll secure one when you complete the main story of Saints Row: The Third Remastered.
  • When you hit a helicopter with the fart in the glass, the pilot jumps out. As a result, the helicopter will slowly sink to the ground and all you have to do is get in.

  • Survival missions can only be started when you receive a call on your cell phone and are not wanted by the police or a gang.
  • Use Passersby as human shields when you run out of cover (Y or triangle key).
  • The spacious terrain of the airport is best suited for driving challenges like stoppies with the motorcycle.
  • If you want to slide through the turns, pull the handbrake in a tight corner. Don't take your foot off the gas while doing this, but press the RT/R2 button all the way to lay down the most beautiful and longest drifts.
