Using Skills in Saints Row
To use any of your skills in Saints Row, you need to open the skills menu by pressing the right bumper (middle mouse on PC). From here, you can use the YXBA button array (1234 on PC) to use your skills, with each one mapped to one of the specific buttons.
Before any of these will be available to use, you will need to manually assign the skills to one of the buttons mentioned above. Usually, you will do this as soon as you unlock a new skill. From this same menu, you can choose which skills you want to take into battle with you. While there are many skills in Saints Row, you can only have 4 at a time.
For certain skills, such as the grenade toss, you will need to be within range of an enemy to activate it or nothing will happen.
That’s everything you need to know to use your skills in Saints Row! If you liked this guide and want to see more, be sure to head to the Saints Row section of our website.
