Unlock Skills in Saints Row (2022) - AntMag

AntMag.NET

In Saints Row (2022), nearly every action you take grants experience points (XP). This includes defeating enemies, completing missions, discoveries, side hustles, and ventures. Engaging in vehicle tricks like near misses and drifting, or even mundane activities such as purchasing new gear, also award XP. Accumulating enough XP leads to leveling up, and each level gained unlocks a new Skill.

Skills are categorized into two types: passive and active. Passive Skills primarily consist of Health Upgrades (at levels 5, 10, and 15) and Flow Upgrades (at levels 8, 14, and 20). Active Skills are unlocked at every other level from 2 to 19. The game features thirteen active Skills, and players have four Skill slots available at any given time. Skills are automatically unlocked upon leveling up. To assign Skills, navigate to the “Skills” menu on your phone, select the desired Skill, press the / button, and choose the slot to equip it to. Once equipped, active Skills can be used on foot by holding down the / button and selecting the button corresponding to the assigned Skill.

Each active Skill consumes Flow to use. Having more Flow allows for the use of more skills. Players begin with two tabs of Flow and can increase this to a maximum of five by leveling up. Flow is regained by defeating enemies.
