Yes, we are back already, while you’ve had a blast electrocuting cops, causing chaos and mayhem with Jiu Feng's latest collection of hardware. We’ve been cooking up something fantastic for you together with our friends at Deep Silver!

Today is the release of Saints Row: The Third Remastered on Steam. We here at OVERKILL want to celebrate our fellow brothers and sisters on the “right” side of the law. We got together with the developers to create an awesome collaboration between the two games.

With enhanced graphics, improved lighting, reworked environments, and visual effects, Steelport and The Third Street Saints have never looked so good.

Jiu Feng got a brand new weapon pack for you, but this time, he’s throwing in something a bit special. Not only does he have 10 gorgeous weapon colors, 3 new weapons and 1 akimbo weapon. He also has something extra attached to one of those weapons, and a new way to outmatch your opponents. Read more below about all the goodies in this new DLC.

In his latest pack, Jiu Feng brings you an electrical stun grenade available both as the throwable “X1-ZAPper” variant and the “X1-a Tactical ZAPper” grenade launcher ammo variants. This brings a brand new way to play the game and to customize your loadout. It’s a great addition to any of the other hardware he has on offer.

The Káng Arms X1 Sniper Rifle, for long distances where reach and power is priority. Go big with a long barrel and an extended mag and be the king on the street. Alternatively, go with iron sights and sort the barrel and hunt down your enemies.
The Miyaka 10 Special Submachine Gun for close quarters where speed and maneuverability is paramount. Choose between long, short or the default barrel. Standard or wooden grip. Add a Speedmag to always make sure you have all the bullets you need at the ready. Why not go Akimbo and you will be unstoppable.
The Ketchnov Byk-1 Assault Rifle for a nice all arounder with an ace up its sleeve. With a suppressed barrel and a Speedmag this rifle can serve many roles.

Oh! Let’s not forget to mention the Underslung Grenade Launcher. That’s right The Ketchnov brings back the ability to bring some extra boom to your loadout. The Ketchnovs grenade launcher will by default fire X1-a Tactical ZAPper grenades but you can switch that out for standard frag if you so choose.



You want to try out the grenade first?
You can unlock the throwable X1-ZAPper Grenade by either purchasing the Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2 DLC or completing the “Buzzbomb” Achievement. If you own the DLC you can still complete the achievement.

Jiu Feng may bring some kickass hardware and with some awesome weapon colors you can customize your arsenal to suit your moods and whims. The weapon colors combine Asian designs and techniques with gold, greens, and blues for a set of very unique weapon colors.

Visit the Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2 Steam store to pick up all this firepower.
Visit the Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2 Website to see previews of the pack and all it’s content.

In efforts to make the game more accessible to new players we’ve looked at the lower difficulties of the game. To make the game less punishing in the first couple of hours while you learn the ropes we lower the damage of some enemies while playing on the “Normal” difficulty level.



You can never have too many guns, only too little ammo.

You spoke, you tweeted, you poked and pinged and we've been convinced to provide you all with the ultimate meme. Today we release the long-awaited and much-requested Comically Large Spoon!
But we asked ourselves, what is better than a Comically Large Spoon?
Well, two Comically Large Spoons of course.

We bring you not only the Comically Large Spoon but also the Comically Large Spoon of Gold.

But we can’t let you just get both spoons right off the bat, oh no.
It’s community challenge time!

To unlock the golden spoon you simply need to kill a few enemies with the normal spoon. 5,000,000 to be exact. Once all heisters have collectively reached this quite modest target, everyone who helped in the event out with at least 100 kills will unlock the special golden version of the spoon.
Special is the keyword here ;)

To partake in the event you will need to have telemetry activated for your kills to count. If you opted out of telemetry you can reactivate it in the options menu.

Don’t worry if you can’t partake in the event, anyone who reaches the 100 kills after the event will still gain access to the “Comically Large Spoon of Gold”.

Commence the spooning!
