Unlock Skills in Saints Row (2022): Guide

AntMag.NET

In Saints Row (2022), nearly every action you take grants experience points (XP). This includes defeating enemies, completing missions, discoveries, side hustles, ventures, performing vehicle tricks, and even purchasing new items. Accumulating enough XP leads to leveling up, and each level-up rewards you with a new skill.

Skills are categorized into two types: passive and active. Passive skills primarily offer Health Upgrades (at levels 5, 10, and 15) and Flow Upgrades (at levels 8, 14, and 20). Active skills are unlocked at all other levels from 2 to 19. There are a total of thirteen active skills available, though you can only equip four at a time.

Skills are automatically unlocked upon leveling up. To assign them, navigate to the “Skills” menu on your phone, select the desired skill, press the / button, and choose an available slot. Once equipped, active skills can be used on foot by holding down the / button and pressing the button corresponding to the skill's assigned slot.

Each active skill consumes Flow, a resource that increases with your level, up to a maximum of five tabs. Flow is regained by defeating enemies.
