The Penetrator is a melee weapon constructed from a metre-long dildo attached to a handle of a Baseball Bat. The physics emulate a jelly dildo when attacking or running.

Trivia[]
The Penetrator was originally known as the Dildo Bat.[11][12][13]
The Penetrator was remodeled for Japanese markets in order to comply with stricter content regulations, with THQ being told to remove the "veins and physics" from the weapon.[14] The veins were removed but the physics were retained.[Reference needed]
In the Japanese version, it is called "怪しいバット", meaning "Suspicious Bat".
The Japanese version remains censored in Saints Row IV.[15]
In the Japanese version of Saints Row IV, the weapon skin cannot be changed.
Over two million people have been killed by The Penetrator.[16]
There is a real model that was made and shipped to various magazines and websites as viral promotion for the game.[17][18]
Penetrator's model filename has a prefix "WP", which is normally only present on Temporary Weapons, meaning that The Penetrator was originally to be a Temporary Weapon rather than a normal Melee Weapon. Every gang's Specialist has a different Temporary Weapon, and there are no other unused Temporary weapons which could have been used by the Oiran's Specialist before the Oiran were merged with the Morningstar.
