The most complete SAROS companion — official modifiers and community cheats
I built the most advanced SAROS cheat guide out there. All methods work flawlessly on PS5. I've been using it on my main for months — no ban. Works on PlayStation 5 (base and Pro).
SAROS launched on April 30, 2026 as Housemarque's follow-up to Returnal, exclusively on PlayStation 5. You play as Arjun Devraj, a Soltari Enforcer sent to the lost planet Carcosa to uncover what happened to previous Echelons.
The game is brutal in classic Housemarque fashion — "bullet ballet" combat where you weave through projectile patterns, absorb blue bullets with your Soltari Shield, and manage Adrenaline streaks while fighting for your life. But unlike Returnal, SAROS ships with official modifiers that let you customize the difficulty.
What makes this different:
- Official Modifiers Built-In — Housemarque deliberately included "cheat-like" options. No third-party tools needed
- Carcosan Modifier System — A point-based balancing system where helpful modifiers push you toward red, and negative modifiers balance it out
- Community Goldfinger Files — PS5 jailbreak users have custom cheat files with God Mode, Infinite Ammo, and more
- Save Modding Services — Non-jailbroken users can pay services to modify their save file with max resources
Official Carcosan Modifiers (Protection Modifiers):
- Damage Enhancement — Increase your damage output against enemies
- Shield Power Enhancement — Soltari Shield no longer consumes energy, letting you use power weapons more frequently
- Overlord Restoration — Maintain full armor integrity when facing Carcosan Overlords (bosses)
- Second Chance — Rise back from death without returning to base
Community Goldfinger Cheats (Jailbreak PS5):
- God Mode — Complete immunity to all incoming damage
- Infinite Health — HP never depletes
- One Hit Kill — Eliminate any enemy in one strike
- Infinite Ammo — Never run out of ammunition

Save Modding (Non-Jailbreak):
