As a great philosopher once said, why walk when you can fly? Games from Far Cry to Just Cause have proven time and time again that wingsuiting is by far the most fun way to traverse an open world. Sure, if we did in real life we’d probably scream ourselves to death before we even hit the ground but this is the wonderful world of video games where we can glide over the city, crash directly into a skyscraper, and hop right back up without even a hint of brown in our trousers.
We’ll tell you how to get your hands on a wingsuit, and how to use it wherever and whenever you want. If you’re looking for more tips to get started in Saints Row then check out our guides for how to earn money fast, how to unlock fast travel, or how to get the most out of your ventures.
How to use the Saints Row wingsuit
Well, this may seem like a Disney movie, as we’re here to tell you that the power was inside you all along. The truth is, you have the wingsuit from the start of the game, and you can start using it as soon as you’re dropped into the open world for the first time. The game just doesn’t tell you about it until a later mission.
Using it is super simple, when you’re in the air, just tap the jump button to open it up. You can adjust your direction in the air with the direction buttons, come in for a landing with the brake button, and perform takedowns on unsuspecting victims using the aim button. You can even land directly on cars’ roofs by hitting the button prompt when it appears, as well as use it to jump from car to car.
