Four different rifles can be unlocked in Saints Row: The Third, and all of them are revealed in the game guide below.
Players should know that one of the rifles, known as Togo-13 is a DLC exclusive weapon and it cannot be accessed in the “base” version of the game.
When players start Saints Row: 3, the first rifle that becomes available is the K-8 Krukov, but later, they will be able to purchase the AR-55 rifle and the Viper Laser Rifle used by STAG forces.
Like most weapons in the game, such as SMGs, Shotguns or Handguns, a rifle can be upgraded four times.
The following guide provides the full list of upgrades that can be purchased by players during the customization process, and offers information regarding each upgrade and its effect on the weapon.
Obviously, each upgrade bought for a rifle, improves its stats (damage, accuracy, rate of fire), but it is important to know that for every improvement, players will have to pay more money.
In this case, controlling the city of Steelport and completing all assassinations and all vehicle theft jobs is mandatory.
