How to Dual Wield in Saint’s Row

Like some other special abilities in the game, the power to dual wield is locked behind a perk by the same name. You’ll have to unlock the perk in order to dual-wield your pistols and SMGS.

Dual Wielding is the 20th perk unlocked in the game, meaning you have to finish 19 challenges before you gain access to this powerful ability.

Challenges are viewed under the Missions app in your phone. At the start of the game you only have 9 available challenges, but more unlock as you progress through missions and complete side hustles. In order to unlock the first 20 challenges, you need to finish the mission Take Me To Church.

Dual Wielding will require a major perk slot, which you can purchase with cash. The first major perk slot will cost you $25,000, with the price going up significantly with each purchase.
