The Flashbang is a weapon in Saints Row 2, Saints Row: Total Control and Saints Row: The Third.

Overview[]

Similar to the real-life flashbang, the in-game weapon itself isn't lethal but its blinding effects stop Playa and make them more vulnerable to any impact.

Saints Row 2[]

The player can carry up to 11 Flashbangs. They are commonly used by the Stilwater Police Department and SWAT teams.

They are available from the beginning of the game at Friendly Fire for $250 per grenade, and are featured in the fourth Sons of Samedi mission "Veteran Child" where they are used to separate DJ Veteran Child and Shaundi as his Human Shield.

Saints Row: The Third[]

The Flashbang is a type of grenades in Saints Row: The Third; each grenade costs $50.

Trivia[]

  • The Fart in a Jar was initially not supposed to be in Saints Row: The Third, as during development, Volition considered it to be too over the top.[Reference needed] However, after word of it spread, the resulting fan interest was so great that the weapon was put back in, and is present in the final version of the game.[Reference needed]
  • In Saints Row: The Third, when the Fart in a Jar is thrown at a zombie, it makes them go crazy and run faster than normal.
