Saints Row 2: Cheating Your Way to Mayhem in Steelport

Welcome to Saints Row 2, a sandbox game reveling in over-the-top violence, criminal ventures, and outrageous customization. While the core gameplay loop is fun and engaging, some players might crave a little extra chaos or a helping hand to achieve their goals.

This guide delves into the world of Saints Row 2 cheats, providing a comprehensive list and explaining their effects.Important Note: Using cheats can disable achievements on some platforms. Use them at your own risk and with caution!

Accessing the Cheat Menu

Unlike some games, Saints Row 2 doesn’t have a built-in cheat menu accessible through menus. However, the developers included a clever way to activate cheats – using your phone! Here’s how:

Open your in-game phone by pressing the designated button (default: Up on the D-pad).

Go to the contacts list.

Instead of dialing a friend, enter the cheat code using the phone keypad.

If the code is valid, a message will confirm its activation.

A Word of Caution:

Not all cheat codes are created equal. Some provide harmless fun, while others can break the game or make it unplayable. Use these cheats with caution, especially if you plan on continuing your save file.
