The TOGO-13 is a fully-automatic sniper rifle featured in the Moneyshot Pack, a DLC included as a bonus for purchasing the Studio Edition of Prima's Official Game Guide for Saints Row: The Third.
The weapon has a magazine capacity of 30 rounds, which can be fired in three different ways depending on how quickly the Primary Attack button is pressed. Holding the fire button results in full-auto, rapidly clicking (but not holding) the trigger results in short bursts of fire, and occasionally tapping the trigger results in the discharging of a single round. Effective utilization of all three firing modes makes the TOGO-13 a devastating and highly effective weapon.
Like the McManus 2015, the TOGO-13 is most effective at long range, but unlike the former, it can also be used effectively at mid-range. It doesn't have much recoil, so it is still possible to hit targets quite accurately.
Though fully automatic the TOGO-13 is still a sniper rifle. So it isn't a great choice for engaging multiple enemies in a firefight.
Analysis[]
Pros
Fully automatic, can also fire shots semi-automatically and one-on-one.
Very effective at long range.
30 round magazine allows for multiple shots before reloading.
Almost no recoil after each successive shot.
Sniper scope provides for easy head and nut shots.
There is a small, spinning, Ultor logo on the barrel close to the trigger.
The TOGO-13 is classed as a Rifle, rather than in the Special class with the McManus 2015.
In the 1969 manga Golgo 13, "Duke Togo" is an alias used by a hired assassin who specializes in sniping. Togo's weapon of choice is a scoped M16 rifle which is a similar automatic sniper rifle.
On February 14, 2012, the Saints Row website released a statement revealing that the Moneyshot Pack along with the Professor Genki's Hyper Ordinary Pre-Order Pack are available as stand-alone DLCs. This means that it is no longer necessary to purchase Prima's Guide Book to obtain the TOGO-13.
Although the TOGO-13 can only be obtained through a DLC, the Level 1 price in the "Buy/Upgrade Weapons" screen is $900,000.[2]
The TOGO-13 has a laser sight when picked up by other NPCs, similar to the McManus 2015's laser sight.[3]
This weapon was originally featured in the Saints Row: Money Shot XBLA game, and would have been unlocked in Saints Row: The Third after completing the mission Dex's New Digs.[4][5]
An image of the TOGO-13 is used as the icon for Assassination.[6]
