Essential Guide to Boss Factory, the Free Saints Row Character Creator
Mike Nelson, Xbox Wire Editor
Close your eyes and picture your ultimate Saints Row Boss. What do they look like? What do they sound like? And, most importantly, are they wearing socks?
Volition, the awesome dev team behind the entire Saints Row franchise, have removed all rules and regulations from what you can and can’t do, so you can make your true likeness in the game. Or anyone you can imagine. The choice is yours! This is where you truly become Self Made. Where you start, is up to you. It’s time to unleash your inner Saint.
So, what can you do? What can’t you do, more like! There’s eleventy billion (number not actually accurate) options to choose from and the customization tools in Saints Row are the best in class; Boss Factory is the only place you can get your hands on them weeks before the game launches.
Boss Factory has an incredible amount of diverse and inclusive options, from essentials such as skin tone and hair style, to more advanced options such as prosthetics, vitiligo and body hair.
Dress your Boss how you like. We’re delighted that fan-favorite layered clothing is returning, so add underwear (or not!) jackets, accessories, shirts and socks. Elevate your Boss to the next level with a multitude of colors, glossiness and metallic levels.
Plus, for the first time ever, there’s asymmetric face customization; a brand-new feature which means you can make each side of the face completely different. You can also further define your Boss by assigning a voice and emotes.
Short on time? There are eight different Boss presets to choose from, along with tons for faces and facial features to get you started a lot quicker.
Once you’re happy with your Boss you can save it so it’s ready for when the game launches and then play as them. Before that, share them on the Boss Factory gallery on SaintsRow.com; by sharing you get two neon-tinted DJ Helmets free for use in the game. Plus, when you register and link your Saints Row profile on SaintsRow.com you will receive an extra bonus — the exclusive Marshall Rocket Launcher — also for use in the game when it launches.
Start from scratch and aim high with thousands of options: from teeth, tans and tattoos to muscles, mouths and make-up, all colours of skin and hair, along with veins, voices and a variety of emotes.
You can choose stylish outfits in a multitude of colors of clothes, the look and glossiness of your hair, decide whether you want scars, what body shape you want and prosthetics for any limb. Dress your Boss how you want; choose your outfit and edit every colour to make it yours, layer it up with jackets, accessories and socks, of course there’s socks!
Plus, for the first time ever, asymmetrical face customization gives you the true freedom to make the left side of your face different from the right side – by how much is up to you. When you’re happy with your masterpiece, save it to the Cloud so you’re ready to start Saints Row with your saved Boss when the full game is released. It doesn’t stop there, in Saints Row, vehicles, weapons and more, will all be customizable.
