===== MOD NAME =====
[Xenia] Jacob_MP's Broken Guns Mod
===== MOD OVERVIEW =====
- Breaks all in-game guns. Great for challenge runs. Does not affect grenades or other thrown weapons. Melee weapons are also left untouched. Results in NPCs and the player resorting to melee combat.
- An odd, but fun twist on Saints Row that's worth a try. Makes the game impossible to beat with this mod installed, but it's still fun to mess around with. Players can still beat the game after uninstalling this mod on new and existing saves. See the "KNOWN ISSUES" section below for full details of this, but beware of spoilers.
- Only tested to work with Saints Row (2006) when launched with the Xenia emulator (see installation instructions below if you get stuck).
- Mod adaptations and tweaks are welcome. Remember to have fun with it and feel free to let me know if you find anything new!
- The original packfiles are included for those who wish to reverse the effects of this mod.
- New game highly recommended.
===== INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS =====
- Extract the compressed mod folder.
- Copy and paste the enclosed packfiles folder on top of your packfiles folder in your Saints Row game directory (emulated via Xenia).
- Start up the game and enjoy!

===== KNOWN ISSUES =====
- Makes the game impossible to beat (see aforementioned hint at this above). ***SPOILER ALERT*** This is because during a specific mission, Semi-Charmed Life, the final Westside Rollerz mission, the player can only progress further in this mission, and eventually beat it, only through damaging Joseph Price's truck and trailer (specifically the cars on his truck's trailer, to start with), which can ONLY be inflicted upon Joseph's vehicle via the player shooting at them (this is only the case for the first leg of the mission, crash damage can finish off Joseph's truck in the second half of the mission). With this mod installed, the player cannot fire their guns, which makes this mission impossible to beat and progress towards the end of the game.
- Starting a new game is highly recommended with this mod installed as this mod may not take full effect on existing saved games (this is especially the case if the player still has ammo in any of their guns' magazines).
- Controller acting like a mouse? If so, disable Xbox Configuration Support via Steam (if Steam is installed) by selecting Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings. This issue isn't attributed to this mod and is only one of many solutions to this issue.

I'm also planning on showcasing mods for Saints Row (2006) and other games via my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnTQ5SsRGZuWdTnZMiMs4fA
EDIT (19/09/2025): Attempted to upload the mod to this thread, but was unsuccessful at this time. Uploaded the mod to MediaFire and added the link here to ensure that it's still available for everyone (as a backup).
