Saints Row 1.2 Update Patch Notes

COMBAT IMPROVEMENTS

Combat should now feel more balanced and engaging, and winning fights should feel more rewarding:

We have made several improvements to aiming
We’ve rebalanced combat by drastically reducing the damage of enemy shotguns and SMGs across the board. This should make several key encounters fairer and more fun
We’ve rebalanced most of the Weapon Ultimate Challenges, simplifying them to make progression feel more rewarding
Weapon Ultimates now unlock automatically when the challenge is complete so you can get to causing havoc with them right away
We’ve tweaked the time given to interrupt enemy call-ins for support
We’ve tweaked the scaling of notoriety to allow players to react to and escape the notoriety loop easier
We’ve reduced the frequency of stylized deaths on easiest difficulty.

GARAGE AND VEHICLE IMPROVEMENTS

Managing and using your fleet of incredible vehicles should now feel far slicker:

There are seven new Garage locations throughout the world that unlock at the start of “Chop Shop”, so you now have way more options for dropping off and obtaining stored vehicles
We’ve improved Garage Vehicle list management. You can now favorite, like, and view recent vehicles in the Garage
We freed up over 50 vehicle customization save slots
We introduced “vehicle templates” as rewards instead of saving the vehicle to the player’s garage automatically, allowing players to retain more custom vehicle save slots
We expanded the Vehicle Delivery options with a full garage list, including favorites, liked, and recent vehicles
We added new drop off location visual telegraphs to the HQ and new Chop Shop locations for driven and flown vehicles.

OPEN WORLD GAMEPLAY & CRIMINAL VENTURES IMPROVEMENTS

We’ve made the first in a series of future changes to make the city and activities within the open world of Santo Ileso more immersive and rewarding:

We’ve introduced new progression tiers to district completion. Players will now see Saints roaming the streets when they have completed the criminal venture and district threats. At 100% completion, even more Saints will spawn
We’ve significantly reduced the number of Bright Future Disposals required to completed the venture
“Chop Shop” vehicle delivery is now accepted at all new locations
