Along with this, Deep Silver has also announced some new DLC for Saints Row 4, namely, the Grass Roots DLC pack. It gives players more customisation options for their characters with overalls and daisy dukes, much like someone from the inner country of the US. It also has a bunch of weapons to match the theme, including a shotgun, assault rifle and a plunger launcher.

Another DLC, the Presidential pack, gives players more customisation options with attire and weapons that pay homage to older American leaders. Both of the DLC packs are available on Steam for the PC or Xbox Live and PlayStation Network for the console of your choice.
