Saints Row 2 weapons roll out

Posted Apr 16, 2008 at 7:58PM by QJ Staff Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: THQ

While most of us await the gigantic release by the end of this month, another open world mammoth is ready to launch come August. We're talking Saints Row 2 (Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360), and before the much wildly anticipated sequel hits shelves, THQ was able to reveal more details. In particular, devs brought out the guns.

If Grand Theft Auto 4 (PS3, Xbox 360) is gunning for realistic armaments, Saints Row 2 is taking a more explosive approach. From the Ultor labs come crazy weapons ranging from stylized rocket launchers to highly improvised flamethrowers.

So far, here are the weapons we can expect to wield in Saints Row 2:

Annihilator

Manually loaded projectile
Fast reload response
Effective and deadly at any range

AS14 Hammer

Fully automatic shotgun with a high rate of fire.

Chainsaw

Light-weight melee weapon
Effective at close range

Flamethrower

Flammable liquid distribution unit
Effective at close range

Minigun

Fully automatic with high rate of fire
Effective and deadly at any range

Satchel Charges

Explosive sticky bomb with remote detonator.

SKR-9 Threat

Fully automatic
High rate of fire
Single or dual-wielded

Stun Gun

High-voltage, low-current electroshock weapon
