BOOT HILL UPDATE – PLAION Player Support

Its not just cheats in this update!

As we announced in our roadmap, we’ve got another free update for Saints Row to get players ready for the chaos of Doc Ketchum’s Murder Circus DLC! Alongside adding the much-requested Cheats App– we have also been hard at work making yet more improvements to the game,including more achievements fixes, stability passes and further tweaks to challenges, plus lots more – check out the full details below:

CHEATS APP

Its time to cheat, the Cheats App has landed on your phone, Boss. Change your game experience in 38 new ways and toggle on and off as many as you like. The Cheats App is available from the start of the game: it includes 20 “clean” cheats that don’t affect your achievements or trophies, including changing the time of day, weather and screen effects as well as aggressive pedestrains and all-mascot pedestrians. And 18 “dirty” cheats, which include low gravity, infinite mass for vehicles spawning fancy cars more often and more fun stuff for you to play with. these will disable your ability to earn achievements and trophies but they dramatically change your game experience.

Note: When in co-op dirty cheats have to be activated by the host so your friends can’t disable your ability to earn achievements and trophies without your permission.
