This article is about purchasable upgrades in Saints Row: The Third. For unlockable rewards, see Unlockables in Saints Row: The Third.
Upgrades are a feature in Saints Row: The Third.
Overview[]
Upgrades replace many unlockables from previous games, although there are still many mission unlockables in Saints Row: The Third which cannot be purchased. Each Upgrade requires a minimum Respect level before it can be purchased with Cash.
Unlockables are listed in the Upgrades menu after being unlocked. This page lists only Upgrades which can be purchased.
The Upgrades menu is unlocked in the Cellphone after completing "We're Going to Need Guns".

Trivia[]
- Upgrades were first revealed in the 8 minute of glorious gameplay trailer.[Reference needed]
- By purchasing all the "Damage" upgrades, Playa becomes essentially invulnerable. The only remaining sources of vulnerability are melee attacks, bailing out of an exploding vehicle, being crushed by a tank while still in a vehicle, and being electrocuted.
- Buying an upgrade for the first time unlocks the Achievement/Trophy "A Better Person".
